Really good game! Would be fun if they added something to do after you get 100+ workers. The game basically just becomes waiting and clicking sell to get the money. Also more worlds/dimensions with trees of a different kind or something that makes the numbers go even higher would be perfect for this.
I do not review games usually but this was a really fun incremental sim with realistic scaling costs and overall just a chill and homey vibe. If you are an achievement hunter the game is fairly easy to speedrun, it only took me 25 hours because I ran the game in the background AFK for my workers to farm the trees. The only real issue that I have is that the map system could use some retooling / more features. It would be helpful for the map to live update when you chop down a section of trees or clear stones out so you can see where you have to focus and build rather than trudging through the whole map. Small tip for farming the stones: Just follow the stone workers as they automatically track to the nearest one, this makes it easier to clear them out and 100% the game.
I don't think "fun" is the right word. The guy who's making this is clearly trying their best, and that's the only reason I give it a thumbs up. It still killed an afternoon for me. Here's a few pitfalls I found (that you will find too): The starting walk speed is SO PAINFULLY SLOW. It took half an hour to get myself to actually start enjoying the core gameplay loop. Automation doesn't really carry to late game. You're personally expected to clean up the map yourself, and at the speed at which the game lets you do that, it's more of an epileptic fit simulator. I don't even have epilepsy, and yet my eye started twitching. If you have a heap of employees (which, if you want to avoid epilepsy, you'll have), then the frame rate will dip to 2 FPS when you start running out of trees to mine. This is likely because each NPC is scanning the map for the closest tree a bunch of times per second, and could be fixed pretty easily by having the AI just idle when the amount of employees exceeds the amount of trees left, and only let a number of employees equal to the trees scan at all. Or at least limit an employee to check for a tree once every 2-3 seconds. I really hope the dev addresses these issues. I don't really care if not, but these really are pain points that I didn't really enjoy at all. The concept is really good but some lazy/inexperienced execution choices are a big bad. You can pet the dog, though. That's a W.
Forest Hustle starts slow. Painfully slow. One tree. One rock. Me. Debt. Regret. Then I hire a worker. Now it’s efficient. Then it’s fast. Then it’s concerning. Workers multiply. The forest starts despawning faster than it can exist. Traders roll up with deals that feel like scams, but I’m too busy strip mining nature to care. Somehow the debt gets paid. So I prestige. This time I don’t bother paying it back. I optimize routes. I rush workers. I build industrial infrastructure like I’m setting up for the real game. The forest never stood a chance. By endgame, its a wasteland... BUT I have so many DOGS that my GPU fans kick on like I launched a AAA title. Frames are lost. There are now more dogs then resources that existed originally. IV DONE IT. DOG 10/10 experience. Started with an axe. Ended with DOG apocalypse... its beautiful
