The day is yours. The night is its. You chop, mine and fish in a clearing at the edge of the world. Hold your finger on a tree and it falls. Hold it on the rock and it breaks. What you gather is refined in the cabin, turned into a better axe, and the better axe reaches deeper into the forest. Simple, satisfying, and it never stops — not even when you put the phone down. Then your level stops climbing, the lantern is ready, and you find out what the forest has been feeding. ▸ TAP, HOLD, WATCH IT FALL No waiting bars. Press and hold anywhere in the clearing and things come down: pine, ore, fish. Eleven tiers of material, each one worth more than the last, each one asking for a better tool. ▸ THE LUMBERJACK NEVER STOPS He walks his own round while you're away — chopping, mining or fishing, whatever you told him to do — and clears whole zones by himself if you let him. Come back to a full cabin, hours of work waiting and a report of everything he brought in. ▸ TWENTY ZONES, EACH DEEPER THAN THE LAST From the cabin clearing to the forest edge, the deep woods, the amber hills, the crystal caves, the ashwood, the arcane grove, the spectral mist, the star plateau and the abyssal chasm. Clear a glade and the next opens, with better wood, better ore and better fish. ▸ LET WINTER COME When you hit the ceiling, let winter take the forest. It starts over; you don't. You keep your Memories and spend them on Milestones no winter can touch — sharper tools, richer sales, zones already open the moment you step back out. FEATURES • Idle and active: tap for the burst, walk away for hours of offline progress • 20 zones, 11 material tiers, 6 lumberjack upgrade lines up to level 100 • 20 named Terrors to hunt down, one night at a time • Prestige that keeps what matters: Memories, Milestones, trophies, family • Forge, refinery, anvil tempering, backpack tools and permanent perks • One hand, portrait, no internet required

Lace up your boots, read the wind and head into the wild. Tiny Hunter is a cozy outdoor adventure where you stalk wildlife, cast your line in quiet waters and build a hunting camp of your own. Explore beautiful low-poly hunting grounds from above, follow tracks through meadows and forests, and bring every catch home to camp. HUNT THE WILD Stalk red deer, wild boar, foxes, moose and even brown bears through Pinewood Reserve. Move slowly, keep the wind in your face and stay downwind so your scent doesn't give you away. When the moment comes, steady your breath and take a careful, ethical shot. READ THE WIND Wind direction, time of day and weather all change how animals behave.
