The Busy Lumberjack has been brought back to life with its latest update. This App Store classic requires you to take control of a busy lumberjack and cut down all of the trees in the screen.

Rivers also pose a problem for your lumberjack, so you’ll have to use the trees to stop the flow and pass through. The game includes a total of 70 levels.
