When I played the demo of LumbearJack back in February, I got the feeling that we’d already seen a good chunk of the game in it. It didn’t strike me as a game that would or could have much more to it. I can’t say I was wrong. The demo ended up being about a third of the whole game. And yet, I’m not disappointed. It’s just the right length for what it is, not overstaying its welcome to a point of inducing boredom. Plus, well, you know, the whole “Maggie loves environmental edutainment games” thing. 

Despite that longevity element, LumbearJack undoubtedly gets a thumbs up from me. That family-friendly aspect is a definite winner, and I dare you not to get caught up in the cuteness of it all – irrespective of your testosterone levels and headshot counts. Even when my little one was at school, I picked this up, played by myself, and thoroughly enjoyed it. If you don’t mind finishing this in one sitting and are happy with the price, I’d say go for it.

LumbearJack es un buen juego apto para todas las edades que trata un tema que debería de estar en boca de todos más a menudo: la contaminación global y la destrucción de los entornos naturales. Es sencillo de jugar por lo que se entiende a la primera y tiene algunos pequeños puzles integrados y niveles especiales que cambian su mecánica principal dándole más profundidad y variedad al conjunto. Un videojuego con un apartado artístico muy simpatico que da una experiencia muy recomendable. Ojalá poder ver una segunda parte algún día.
