Super Chop

Lumberjacking as an upgrade treadmill, and a well-tuned one. You chop trees, fill a backpack with logs, fly them to the truck and sell them, then spend the coins on tools that make each of those steps shorter — twin axes, gauntlets, a saw, eventually a plasma cutter. Six forest zones open as the tools get absurd, and the trees in each one have more wood in them than the last. Super Chop understands that the satisfying part is the moment a zone that was slow becomes fast.
