Press release:
The Grodzisk Mazowiecki-based (Poland) indie games publisher Digital Melody and Kraków-based (Poland) indie games developer GameFormatic S.A., today announced with great delight and thrill that their timberman-themed retro arcade game “Timberman VR“, is now available on the Meta Oculus Store.
ABOUT TIMBERMAN VR
Grab your axe and chop down some trees while avoiding the branches. Sounds simple enough, but this doesn’t mean you’re in for an easy task. Show off both your speed and accuracy. Prove your reflexes and steady arm by always cutting tree trunks from the correct side.
Become a true master of your trade by setting records and unlocking new tools. Use your hard-earned points to buy new axes that not only make you look stylish against the cloud of shavings and splinters, but also give you some special bonuses.
Keep a cool head and use your best judgement even in the midst of the busiest logging operation: it’s not just branches that will get in your way. Look out for all the different types of obstacles and wildlife, such as squirrels and wasp nests. Act quickly, be precise, and stay alert!
