What players say

A quick paced and fun game. If you played the origional Sonic and Super Mario games but always secretly wished they were squirrel themed then this is the game for you! Checkpoints and bosses straight from Sonic with the world system from Mario with infinite lives and a time trial option! Also if that doesn't float your boat then there are fun little mini games that you can unlock more of as you progress throughout...

SO FREAKING ADORABLE! Worth every penny. This game is a blast. Awesome music, awesome environments. Awesome squirrels. I love the fact they change colors every time you sacrifice one (I cry everytime), or when you play a new level. 10/10 I really hope to see an expansion for this. :)

Finally, good inspiration / rip-off of Mario series, but controls are really annoying.
