Was fun and rewarding to get the timing down.  Was hard at the beginning as the key up timing felt delayed but you learned to compensate for that.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Would probably need a few more timing mechanics to stop the line one from getting repetitive but wicked for the weekend of work.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Great job!"},{"author_name":"Tuism","author_uid":"35114","time":"Aug 26, 2015 @ 7:57am","epoch":1440575520,"text":"Has a really nice feel to it, the chopping mechanic is core and works great, but:\r<br\/>\r<br\/>- There's a delay between keypress and the cursor stopping, that's super irritating, it makes the misses all the more frustrating.\r<br\/>- The rhythm change seems arbitrary, which doesn't feel good when it happens all the time - there should be a rhythm to it.\r<br\/>- there didn't seem to be much point walking through the forest... Yeah I get that the big trees are harder, but you could also just easily swipe through trees. Platform walking was superfluous.\r<br\/>- If the shop isn't working, remove the button :) And only having to use the mouse for one thing is irritating, it should be changed to keyboard controls entirely.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Looking great, keep pushing it :)"},{"author_name":"dan.marchand","author_uid":"36498","time":"Aug 26, 2015 @ 3:10pm","epoch":1440601500,"text":"Love the art style on this!"},{"author_name":"Andrew Adams","author_uid":"20321","time":"Aug 26, 2015 @ 3:26pm","epoch":1440602460,"text":"Fun and unique."},{"author_name":"adsilcott","author_uid":"49637","time":"Aug 26, 2015 @ 3:28pm","epoch":1440602580,"text":"Loved the gameplay.

At the beginning I had trouble chopping the big trees and the red ones until I realized it is the keyUp event who triggers the chop.
