I could go on, but Husqvarna -- the game's publisher and a forestry equipment specialist -- does a better job of selling the whole experience:

"The art of stripping felled trees of their branches is exciting, but very dangerous. Welcome to Limberjack! Grab your Husqvarna chainsaw, and pursue your dream of becoming the undisputed greatest limber alive."

The idea is to nimbly trim the branches in the shortest time possible, besting your friends and "picking up techniques used by the pros as you go along." Best of all, there's no requirement that you wear a flannel shirt. You can, however, shout "timber!" at the top of your lungs at any time.
