Made by a solo developer in one weekend for Ludum Dare 56!

Actively in development, last update 12/6/2024

Gettin' Squirrely! 

Be the squirrel

Climb trees, collect nuts and avoid other animals!

Run around as a little squirrel and grab nuts out of the tress and a few on the ground.

Watch out for other animals, you only have so much health and time to grab all the nuts you can.

You can hold up to 5 nuts in your squirrel's cute little cheeks, so you need to drop them off at your stash to score.

Controls - Gamepad

Move - Left Stick

A / South Button - Jump, catapulting the squirrel forward in whatever direction you are facing - charge up to 1 second for faster and longer jump.

Menu / Start - Pause Menu

Controls - Keyboard

Space - Jump, catapulting the squirrel forward in whatever direction you are facing - charge up to 1 second for faster and longer jump.

Basic Strategies

• Most of the nuts are at the top of the tree, but many fall over time. Collecting the fallen nuts later in the stage is generally the best strategy.
• Using jump constantly is the best way to get around quickly
• Immediately jump after landing to get a fully charged jump instantly - it is the best way to get around quickly

How it was made

This game was made by me alone for Ludum Dare 56 Game Jam, and this is my first publicly available game I have made in 3D.

Everything is made by hand. All models and animation were made in blender with the exception of some textures which are from the URP Essentials pack (the Unity shader assets that fix the tree creator shaders that come with Unity which were broken in version 6 when I began this project). All sound was recorded in my home recording studio using foley techniques, I also composed and performed the music.
