    Jack Lumber is a mythic, larger-than-life character who could be the App Store's modern-day Paul Bunyan.

    Jack Lumber is a simple game but it works and it's fun and entertaining, so it's pretty much everything we can ask for. This universal app for both iPod/iPhone and iPad will definitely keep you playing, even though maybe for a slightly short time.

    It remains disarmingly single-minded throughout, yet any repetition is offset by intuitive, precise controls, and satisfying audiovisual feedback.

    Not without its merits, Jack Lumber is a decent line drawer, but it never manages to spark into life.
