Would you kindly help a little squirrel whom often you found playing in the woods? I am a very, very friendly squirrel; I swear, I never intend to hurt that poor snail. As it becomes colder and colder, I want nothing more than to store some nuts in my caves, lest I should be no more after the winter. But why in the world is that greedy snail always hiding somewhere to rob me of my nuts, just like those highway men? See what a dilemma I am involved in?

To keep away from that cunning snail, should I go on carry the nut to my cave or gather a newly ripe one? Less

Cute Look And Concept, But Really Just Another Run-Of-The-Mill Atari Game

Look: 8/10 Gotta love the Atari colors, also very interesting to see the colors simply as the ladders too, not like separate sprite objects. Kinda goofy and technically not a good thing, but I like it :-p enter image description here

Sound: 7/10 Functional, a bit annoying but not bad.

Play: 6/10 I mean, I did complete one whole cave, which says something. But I really just kept playing to see if something more fun would come up. It's kinda fun that you're slower when carrying a nut (squirrels are always cute when they're jammed full of food irl heh) and then you race back down, but just not all that fun or varied. Oh, and thanks to the manual, I realized you are supposed to collect the ripe nuts that appear on the left or right of bottom of screen by hitting Fire button (not just running into them) and then safely carry it to your cave on top. Rinse and repeat :-p

Feel: 6/10 Great colors, great concept of a squirrel preparing for winter, but a bit sluggish (heh, get it?") and not all that fun for long.

Attachment: 6/10 Despite all my criticism, I did play this longer than I …

Attachment: 6/10 Despite all my criticism, I did play this longer than I normally would for a run-of-the-mill Atari action game. Doubt I will be returning tho.

Completion: One Cave (5 Nuts) Playtime: ~15 mins
