Bob Wood idle

More unlocks, chop more, earn more

Bob Wood Idle is a cosy little woodcutting game about turning one axe into a whole village.

Chop a tree. Carry the logs. Sell them at the mill. Then buy a slightly better axe and do it again — a bit faster, a bit further, with a bit more piling up while you're gone.

CHOP AND HAUL Wander a small hand-built forest, fell trees, and haul logs to the mill. Every upgrade you buy is one you can feel: a sharper axe, a bigger pack, quicker boots, better prices.

BUILD A VILLAGE Spend your logs on a Fishing Dock, a Carpenter's Workshop and a Market Stall. Each one comes with someone who works it — a fisher on the riverbank, a carpenter at the sawhorse, a trader at the stall. Upgrade a building and you watch them get faster.

HIRE A CREW Lumberjacks and sawbots keep chopping while you wander off. Hire more, level them up, and the forest keeps working without you.

COME BACK TO A FULL STORE Your village keeps producing while the app is closed. Come back to piles of fish, planks and wares waiting to be collected — and a welcome-back screen showing exactly what you earned.

A LADDER THAT ALWAYS HAS A NEXT RUNG There's always one specific thing to be three trees away from. Tasks arrive one after another, buildings climb to level 50, and player levels unlock the deeper upgrades.
