To throw axe all you need to do is draw the route that you want your axe to go.

The more it hits and picks up, the higher the combo count, and the more coins you receive.

Max Axe utilises an achievement-based levelling-up system. If you're having trouble meeting an achievement, pay it off with gold. If you don't level-up, you can't equip stronger items.

Chop down bushes and stacks of wood for gold and power-ups. Think twice before attacking rocks, though. They can come to life.

Along with hitting enemies and collecting coins, you'll also be treated to showers of loot. Quickly pick up the coins before they disappear.

You can earn bonus coins and Rez hearts by completing certain actions, such as signing on to Facebook or viewing videos.
