The basic controls in Lumber Chopper involve tapping the screen to chop down trees. You can swipe to adjust the swing of your axe and collect wood as you go. Mastering the timing will help you chop more efficiently.

To upgrade your tools, you need to collect enough resources and coins through chopping trees. Go to the upgrade menu from the main screen and select the tool you want to enhance. Confirm the upgrade to improve its performance.

If you run out of energy, you need to wait for it to regenerate over time or use special items that can restore it instantly. Plan your chopping sessions accordingly to maximize efficiency.

Unlocking new areas requires specific tasks to be completed, such as reaching a certain level or collecting a set amount of wood. Pay attention to the mission prompts that guide you on what is needed to access new terrains.

To maximize wood collection, focus on perfect timing while chopping for bonus wood. Additionally, prioritize upgrading your tools for faster chopping. Engage in multiplayer challenges to earn extra rewards and keep an eye on seasonal events for bonuses.
