Lumbermancer

Lumbermancer is a game about controlling a wizard and his summoned log minions at the same time. You guide the Lumbermancer through the woods, collect resources to progress through the stages and keep him alive. He can cast spells, but cannot directly kill the forest creatures or defend himself; the logs handle those tasks.

Control the logs

You control the wizard with one hand and a log with the other, and can change the log’s type on the fly. Each of the four types has a different role:

• Shovel log: plant seeds to replenish your wood supply, which powers your lumbermancing abilities.
• Sword log: move quickly and use melee attacks to kill the beasts of the woods.
• Torch log: keep the Lumbermancer’s lantern lit so you can see through the dark forest.
• Arrow log: move slowly and attack from a distance by sticking arrows in enemies.

Explore the woods

The woods contain four main areas, along with an unlockable endless forest, a secret boss and a shop. In the shop, you trade souls with Death for spells, which can range from powerful to less useful. You perform them using the wizard-controlling hand, by entering joystick or keypad movements like a Hadouken input in Street Fighter; instead of a fireball, a spell might make a pig appear.

Find sandwich ingredients

Your goal is to gather ingredients for a sandwich, not to save the world or rescue a princess. The ingredients are Holy Toast from the Ghost King, Witch’s Lettuce from the Bell Witch, Toadmatoes from the Swamp and a slice of the Devil’s Bologna. Getting them means facing the creatures that guard their treasures.
