very interesting game. once you get the hang of things it is very fun, and poses a good challenge

I finally perished after getting a high score of 155! I found myself getting oddly competitive with this game, its quite simple but it kept making me want to push myself further. Great job!

very addictive

Sweet little squirrel! But my lazy ass eventually found a pattern where two ripe acorns would consistently drop in one spot and generate a single mushroom. I needed it because a green acorn would drop there once. Eventually, I reached about 100 acorns and didn't see the point anymore, since there are no levels and, as far as I understand, there's no ending as such. Adding some humor to the mix would have been a really cool computer game :)

not very easy i got 15 ;) the sounds are a bit to stale but lovely idea! gj

Simple, but so effective! I love that the player has control over when the yellow acorns drop, rather than just waiting for them to fall. It adds a strategic element to the game that takes it up a level. And the art is adorable!

Great game! Clicking deez nuts became a bit tedious after a while but I guess it's just me. When I see them becoming ripe and knowing I couldn't click them all, made me nervous xd. Man, this game is unforgiving... You could give the player more lives maybe. The music is also great! I went to the kitchen while this game was open and the tune was blessing my ears thorugh my bleutooth headset. So calm and relaxing :D

This is one of the best entries I have played so far. It is a cool idea (especially the system of positive and negative points).

Good idea and well executed. I like that if you wait too long they will become overripe, but you can't always get all of them so you have to plan ahead. Also the mushrooms are a good idea, they make it more forgiving. The design is also very nice.

It's super catchy :D wished only it would get more challenging with the time.

Well done! I like the simple but effective game play! The squirrel is cute =)

Great graphics, especialy the cute squirrel! :D

Nice job! I enjoyed playing your game. Some scaling difficulty would be great

skale 2025-10-24 17:59

Simple concept and great execution. Well done!

lukewaffel 2025-10-24 18:58

Surprisingly addictive! Combining the clicking of the acorns with the movement of the squirrel is an amazing idea!
