Directive: Deforest

Your directive: clear the forest. Don't ask why.
You are a robot dropped into a dense, comic-style forest with exactly one job: cut down every tree. Swing your axe, sell the wood, upgrade everything, and watch a few chops turn into chain reactions that flatten whole groves.

Chop. Sell. Upgrade. Repeat.
Every tree you fell splits into logs that fly straight into your bag. Sell them at camp, then spend the gold on a sharper axe, faster swings, a bigger bag and a stronger magnet. Each upgrade makes the next tree fall faster and the next zone reachable.

Chain Reactions
Space scrap hides in the tall grass. Mow it out with your sickle and trade it for timed power-ups:

Five Zones, Five Axes
Push from the Birch Grove into the Oak Forest, Pine Valley, the Land of Giants and finally the Crystal Forest. Every zone has tougher trees, and every zone needs a better axe: Rusty, Iron, Steel, Plasma and Quantum.

Build a Robot Crew
Drones mow the grass and pull scrap out of it with their magnets. Carrier bots follow you around, pick up logs and haul them back to camp. Your crew keeps working while you chop, and the drones even work the night shift while you sleep.

Clear the Entire Forest
More than 11,000 trees stand between you and the end of your directive. Bring them down one swing at a time, or one chain reaction at a time. Somebody really wants this forest gone. Maybe you shouldn't ask why.
