Timber Tumble is a one-button sawmill stacker. A row of planks slides across the top of your stack and you drop it; whatever lands on solid timber stays, and anything hanging over the edge is sawn off and gone for the rest of the run. Your four planks are your health bar rather than a score. Perfect play keeps all four forever, and the pressure comes entirely from the saw getting faster the higher you build. The run ends when the last plank misses.
Controls

Touch: Tap anywhere on the board. There is only one control, so there is nothing to aim at.
Tips
- Nothing ever gives a plank back. A sloppy drop at height 3 is still costing you at height 60, which makes the opening rows worth more care than they feel like they deserve.
- The saw starts at about three columns a second and tops out near sixteen, so late rows want you already committed to a column before the row arrives.
- Five clean rows in a row doubles your points and it keeps climbing to five times, so a careful stretch is worth far more than a fast one.
- Landing on one plank is survivable, and there is a badge for five rows in a row on a single plank. But a single plank can only ever land on a single plank, so the run is on a knife edge from then on.
- Points come from planks times multiplier, so a wide clean stack scores several times faster than a narrow one at the same height.
