Squirrel Goes Nuts Review

This is a fun and challenging little game that requires the user to move a squirrel across a landscape to consume as many acorns as possible, and finally to grab the key nut (literally the nut with the key in it). The squirrel's motions are a little tricky to master at first; basically you fling him across the screen (he does a series of rather un-squirrel like somersaults as he flies).

The squirrel moves up the tree, balancing on red and green oak leafs as he ascends, or sticking to the sides of the screen. Red oak leafs give his jumps a normal bounce, green ones give a shorter jump, red rubies give him a normal jump but make him slide downward, yellow and purple rubies slide you off.

My chief complaint is the instructions which are absolutely illegible. Other than that, this is another addictive, just-for-fun game theta employs a little strategy and a lot of fun.
