Timber Rush

Mechanic

• The player drags a harvester with a finger, the forest falls, coins fly into the counter.
• Upgrades are bought at the base yard: a trailer, the machine gets bigger.
• The red rival is “Too strong” while the player is weaker; after the second upgrade it can be crushed.
• There is no losing: weaker means a bounce, not a fail.

Key moments

1. 0–3 s

   Hook: a hand shows the swipe, “Drag to cut trees!”.

2. 3–8 s

   The harvester mows the forest, coins fly into the counter, the sound of a saw.

3. ~8 s

   First upgrade at the yard: “+1 level”, a trailer with logs.

4. 9–20 s

   The rival invades, the second upgrade, “Crush it!”.

5. ~20 s

   The ram: an explosion, debris, +500 coins.

6. 22 s

   Endcard with a mascot, a full-screen button.

Times are from the automatic demo run.

A/B variants

• Base

  Control: cutting, coins, an upgrade, a duel.

• Short path

  One upgrade is enough to crush the rival: the wow moment at second 9.

• Power cutting

  A wide fast saw: raw juiciness versus progression.

• 25 seconds

  A hard 25 seconds and cheap upgrades: how many clicks the endcard itself makes.
