Missing the splitting axe getting a little jammed at a knot.

Otherwise excellent.

Nice sim, there's one thing missing though: splitting two sections at the same time. It do this all the time as it can almost double splitting speed when dealing with mid-size logs. Split the log in two halves, making sure to keep the halves close together. Rotate around the splitting block by about 60°, split again hitting both halves at the same time. Do this once more and you've split the log into 6 60° sections, a good size for stacking in the fireplace and also a good section size to be able to light a fire. I split between 5 m³ and 7 m³ of firewood per year which is enough to heat our house and cook our food, have been doing this for about 20 years now so I have some experience. The double-split is a good time saver.

This works amazingly well on my iPhone with obvious touch controls.

Very impressive.

Fruit ninja but for logs. Now I can finally play lumberjack like I’m Nicole Coenen.

Oddly fun, though could use a little more variety, maybe with knots, etc.

The momentum on the camera spin is very annoying. Really cool though

That and the fact that you can rotate w/ left click as well. Turns out I naturally drag the mouse a little. So having rotate on right click only would be way less annoying, especially when combined with the momentum.

But then it wouldn’t work on a touchscreen, and it wouldn’t go viral.

Small nitpick (not of the neckbeard type): if you split the wood in slices then rotate it so the cut strikes perpendicular to the slices, it tends to split horizontal pieces of wood without touching the rest, even if it's "sandwiched" between the other slices, which seems odd since it makes the axe edge feel like a surgical strike rather than something with length.

I think it would feel better if it modeled the length of the edge, which should disturb the other horizontal slices.

Feels very satisfying
