New Owlchemy Labs’ game Jack Lumber turns chopping wood into an act of revenge.

At PAX East this weekend, I ran into Alex Schwartz, chief scientist (?) at Owlchemy Labs, who showed me a demo of their upcoming mobile title Jack Lumber. Why are lumberjacks so mad? Because the trees killed the ones they love and it’s up to you to take action. Somewhere between the pacing of Flight Control and the mania of Fruit Ninja, it’s one to watch for. Also, LUMBERJACKS.
