Squirrel Simulator

A game that teaches you to NEVER underestimate squirrels. Fun fact: as long as there's a pile of coins involved, a squirrel could easily take down a wolf. 10/10 nuts P.S.: Avelog Games, does jumping actually work as dodging here? Haven't noticed any difference from just sponging damage and spamming attack. I request dodge! And bears. I want to solo a bear.

tl;dr: Buy if you like to be a squirrel for a few hours and are not expecting too much story and content for the very low price. Long version: I like the game. Playing as a squirrel makes me happy. You do squirrel things, like gather and eat berries. You also fight other animals like wolves, as squirrels do. You take them down with your whole family of up to five squirrels. Jokes aside: Pro: Kept me entertained for a few hours and for its price I would recommend it, if you are into squirrels. The family mechanic is just adorable, roaming the small map with your squirrel gang and beat up badgers and stuff. Graphics are okay, nothing special - you get what you see in the preview pictures. I have also encountered zero bugs, which I find very mentionable these days. Neutral: The gameplay loop consists of reapeating quests that you can do or not do, they involve fighting, gathering and basic stuff like drinking and sleeping. Doing the quests gives you simply more XP to level up. Leveling up is required to a certain point to unlock your family. More leveling up gives more attack power and health, but the enemies scale with you, so I actually never had the feeling to be stronger, that came only when I brought the extra squirrels in. Animations are basic but I have seen worse. Again, consider the price. Combat is also more on the basic side, attack, jump, run away. Your family auto attacks, the game does a good job on that and their path finding. You can also buy skins for your squirrels which give certain perks and look silly - as I like the natural squirrel look this one is neutral for me, others might like them and also the collecting aspect. Contra: No key rebindings, you need to get along with the defaults. I had no problems with them, but that is something to keep in mind. Not many settings either, asides volume there is an antialiasing option and the language selection. German translation is kinda funny, as everything is labelled with its article, so like "the berry", "the acorn", "the wolf" etc. Not really bad, but irritating. English labels are okay, so I played in English.
