Axe Master
Tap to spin a lumberjack's axe through airborne logs, watermelons, and cinder blocks; one mistimed tap and the axe hits a black iron spike and the run is over.
Tap to launch the spinning axe toward the next object, slicing it for cash, with the final landing spot determining a score multiplier.
One thumb: tap anywhere to send the axe flying toward the next target along its current spin arc.
Slice Master's one-tap knife spinner reborn as a lumberjack woodchop theme, hitting the same tap-to-launch rhythm.
