Dat style! So polish and nice looking game, great!
Hadn't time to play it yet - but wow, the graphics, the artwork, awesome! :heart:
Absolutely love this art style! Feels like it is made of clay. Maybe you should add some sound/visuals on the acorns? Well done!
Great artwork and modeling and such. I want a shiny noise to play when I get an acorn. Also I had no idea I was supposed to return them to the center. I guess my bad for not reading the instructions. The camera should have some way of not clipping backward through geometry because it added a lot of chaos to my experience.
The music is nice the camera is a little too fast for me. The artworks looks really good for a jam game. As expected from a Pro artist.Nice work
This game is nuts! :) I ran around, collect acorns, took them home, and hung out for a while after the timer ended. Love the graphics. Good stuff.
I love the "clay" look of the materials and your choices of smooth vs flat shading. Super cute squirrel too!
This was a lot of fun to play! It also looks really good! Nice job you guys! :D
I like the visuals and the music!
Beautiful game. The music was a bit loud, but it was nice music. I found myself just wanting to run around the maze and look at it because it looked so good. I think adding in some short cuts that you can unlock, like a tree limb kicked into place or something, would be neat because otherwise you're just running back and forth in the same area to get a little farther for three more acorns. But great setting.
3D art is super cute, I really like the mood :heart:. Like others said, the camera is a little bit too "nervous"
Nice game! Lots of super nice 3D art and the music is really good! The clay-like style isn't something I have seen before but it looks very nice! I also like the take on the theme!
The blackness in the main menu was a bit confusing though. I thought something was broken because of some driver issue or something because it didn't look at all like the screenshots. You got me worried for a second, but that was cleared up as soon as I clicked play.
Even the concept art from [here](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/54/amazing-squirrel/its-the-main-character) was nice.
Not sure if you are interested, but I wanted to finish with an anecdote about that... That concept art was actually the thing that inspired me to make my own game this Ludum Dare. Before that I had no idea what to do with the theme, even 14 hours into the game jam. I hadn't started anything yet and was just mindlessly browsing the LDJAM feed to get inspiration. Thank you for being that inspiration! Your team got me started on my own game! :heart:
@jeroenpx Thanks, I'm glad it was inspirational for you. You've made a nice game!
The art is amazing!
The new cover art looks really good, I recommend putting it at the top of this page too! The art and level is appealing to explore but the main menu could do with some polish - otherwise good job :>
The models and animations are top notch in this game! I really enjoyed the soundscape too. I agree with what's been mentioned before though, a bit more interactions and a slightly less agressive camera would help. I really enjoyed playing nonetheless!
good concept
idk how..but your ppl graphics are like pixar's animation films...super work
may i know the engine you used?
Incredible graphics and a fun game, great job!
@mr-lazy thanks! The engine is Unreal
@dan-m thanks, will do!
Amazing graphics, seemed like a good game concept and implemented well. The timer just stops at 0... is something meant to happen? How many acorns are there? I sadly cant think like an acorn.
This game is _beautiful_. The controls say that I can jump, but I can't seem to be able to? Not sure if that's just a problem on my end. Either way, really good work. With a little extra time to complete a few features, this could be a really cool game! Great work!
Really cool game! I really liked the squirrel model and little tree house area, very cute, thank you for making this!
I really loved the music, the art is nice and so is the concept.
I guess the one thing missing is the meta flow of the game (what happens when the timer goes to 0, I definitely didn't need to go in the settings tab but I wanted it, why do you have to pick up nuts ? etc) but I guess you already know that, and these things takes a lots of time...
Having a working core game loop is already a big achievement, especially with your level of polish in art and music. Very good job!
Simple and funny, awesome graphics and really cool!
Well done! Take a candy! :candy:
The game is very pretty - the models are clean and the colors very pleasant. The music is fitting the gameplay and compliments the whole mood nicely. I wished there was some sfx on picking up/dropping the acorns. The gameplay itself worked well - wasn't getting stuck on scenery and could run around looking for food effectively :chestnut:
The timer reached zero and nothing seemed to have happened. I didn't die in winter because of getting too little nuts, I didn't thrive, as I got enough, or something. I was just stuck on a "minus" time, could still run around, could not get into menu to restart. I'm unsure what to think of that. A bug?

This is a really nice looking game. I was pretty disappointed to not be able to jump or climb walls, despite being a squirrel :P The gameplay itself wasn't particularly original, but I'll give it a pass since it's a jam game. I could definitely see this visual style working on a game with a bit more content.
The game was pretty, but i felt a bit lost, spacebar wouldn't make me jump and E in the house didn't do anything :((( I walked around collecting nuts until my backpack was full but ... yeah idk, maybe i'm missing something
very nice game.. the squirrel is very cute and i like it
I would appreciate a mini map or some pointer. searching for a location wouldn't be such a problem for me if I didn't have a time limit.
great entry
very impressive for 72h, well-done!
the graphics are nice, animation is good, squirrel is cute
it's a bit of a shame that there are no sound effects ex.: when you walk or pick up an item
also the soundtrack is a bit... aggressive? or maybe too loud or it's just too stressful for me with the time limit - take that one with a grain of salt ^^#
it does feel like you were caught by time towards the end - with the lack of endscreen and the such
even still - very impressive and great looking game, well done :grinning: :sparkles:
The graphics are stunning!!!
Hey Team Squirrel!

Great concept and realization of squirrel and environments! Also like the Crash Bandicoot-y music :D
Cool graphics! I love it!
