Squirrel with a Gun
Nov 18, 2025 9 months ago
Squirrel, meet gun. As the neighborhood’s most obnoxious rodent, develop a knack (and a love?) for crime and mayhem in pursuit of golden acorns in this nutty sandbox shooter and puzzle platformer. Fight tooth, claw, and gun to escape a secret underground facility and defeat the Agents.
What it’s like
This is a chaotic, physics-driven sandbox experience where you embody a gun-toting squirrel wreaking havoc on suburban humans and secret agents. The core loop revolves around high-octane third-person shooting and platforming, utilizing weapon recoil for traversal in a 'puzzle-platformer' style that rewards creative, destructive movement. The tone is irreverent and comedic, leaning heavily into the absurdity of its premise rather than narrative depth. While the story serves merely as a thin justification for the mayhem, the gameplay shines through its emergent physics interactions and sandbox freedom. It captures the spirit of classic chaos sims like Goat Simulator but with tighter shooting mechanics. The experience is fast-paced and visceral, focusing on immediate gratification through destruction and exploration of open areas rather than complex systems or emotional storytelling.

Keep in mind Critics note the gameplay can feel shallow and repetitive after a short period, as the novelty of the gimmick wears off quickly. It lacks narrative weight and mechanical depth, making it best suited for players seeking a brief, silly distraction rather than a substantial campaign.
