Hairy Beaver Support

Need a hand with Hairy Beaver, the tree-chomping puzzle game for iPhone and iPad? Start here.

How to play

Arrows walk the beaver left and right. Hold to keep going. The first press of the other arrow only turns him around.
CHOMP three times fells the tree beside you. It falls away from the beaver: across a gap it becomes a bridge, against a cliff it leans into a ramp.
CHOMP twice on a fallen log bites it in half.
GRAB holds the end of a loose log; then the arrows push or pull it.
The round buttons at the top right of a level are sound, undo and restart.
Get the beaver home to his lodge in as few moves as you can to earn up to three maple leaves.

Common questions

I'm stuck on a level. Read the hint at the bottom of the screen, then try chomping from the other side of the tree, since the side you chew from decides which way it falls. Undo is free, so experiment.

The beaver keeps drowning. Hairy beavers don't swim. Float a log on the water and ride it across.

There's no sound. Check the ring/silent switch on your device, then tap the speaker button to open the sound settings. Music and sound effects have their own sliders.

Leaderboards or achievements aren't showing. Sign in to Game Center in the Settings app on your device, then reopen the game. Game Center is optional.

How do I reset my progress? Progress is stored on your device only. Deleting and reinstalling the game starts you fresh.

Which devices are supported? iPhone and iPad running iOS 16 or later.
