Steam's global achievement data puts about 8 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 5.4-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. Of the 722 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 40 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2024 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,071 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 169 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 64 percent of the 692 reviews written there were positive, against 85 percent overall, and those are 22 percent of everything written about it.
It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 5.4 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.
The drop-off
96% start to 8% finishSteam counts fewer than one in ten of its players at the ending achievement. On a 5.4-hour game, that's a lot you pay for and may never use. Steam global achievements
What players say
Controlling the car is rough. But outside of that the game is a blast, pun intended.
Very Fun and funny i love the animations of the squirrel and the rc car movements are very realistic
Boring and repetitive Unity asset-flip of a game. Funny for about 10 seconds and then overstays its welcome by hours with awful controls. Struggles to run on a Steamdeck. I'm really glad this dev was so inspired by squirrel stapler that they decided to lazily staple a gun to one. Bloated boring game with a dumb gimmick. Wait for the next funny YouTube game to come out and throw a few bucks at something that actually...
