About the Game

Vibrant, green fields packed full with wildflowers used to stretch far away into the distance. Forests of giant trees, proudly reaching for the sky, filled the landscape. The bright sun would filter down through the leaves and cast dancing shadows on the forest floor. Crystal clear streams meandered along, weaving their way around until they joined the oceans. Plant life thrived harmoniously, the entire planet brought to life by the vast Ecosystem covering its surface. Then the Lumberjacks came.

At first, a few heavy footed giants stomped their way to the forests, cutting into the beloved trees and laughing as they fell. This was only the beginning. They never stopped coming, nowhere was safe. The trees who once stood tall and proud were slashed down, chopped up, and malformed into anything the lumberjacks needed. Chairs, tables, beds, doors, fences. The Ecosystem screamed with burning pain, using that powerful negative energy to produce one last hope for the planet. Loggy.

When the largest tree was brutally felled, the Lumberjacks missed one small crucial piece. Hidden and protected, the ecosystem poured its remaining energy into this little log. With the ecosystem at its weakest, no energy remaining, it could no longer hide Loggy. The lumberjacks were there in an instant. Their natural sense for wood lead them to the hiding place quicker than the Ecosystem expected. Small and new to this world, Loggy knew only one thing. Dodge. Chainsaws came flying in violently from all directions, Loggy dodged every single one. The little log escaped, carrying along a tiny piece of hope for the Ecosystem.

The Lumberjacks will never give up in their pursuit, but Loggy is too quick for them. It doesn't matter where Loggy goes, they follow. But Loggy remains strong, dodging their chainsaws and building up strength for the battle that's on its way.
