I scored 70 points, I believe.Really clever idea, executed very well! The art/models look great and the scnene was well designed. There was no music playing, however, it did not take away from the game at all, I thought the sound FX were plenty to keep the scene feeling alive (As a matter of fact, I wish I  wouldve taken this route in my own game!)

All-in-all, excellent submission, great work yall!

First of all I love a good pun so nice title. And the game looks great ! A 3d game in such a short time is impressive.

Gameplay is original and fun, well done !

Developer

Thabk you for playing! :D

This is wonderful! It's super cute (I love the squeaky-toy sound effects used for when the squirrels get hit), and pretty fun to play once you get the hang of it. I did run into a couple of issues, though:

- I noticed a bug where squirrels would run towards an empty spot on the ground for a while, sometimes gathering in a cluster. I think I saw a nut fall through the ground at one point, so my guess is that they're running towards a nut that they can't reach because it's underground, only changing their focus once the nut falls down far enough that the AI determines another nut to be closer.

- I think the red squirrels got temporarily stuck inside the stump a couple times (maybe a nut was blocking their path?), but that bug was much less common than the first one.

- I found the hold-the-mouse-to-aim to be a bit difficult to use - many a stone flew over their intended target, especially at close range.

- The difficulty curve seems to be a little slow. I ended up stopping once I reached 100 acorns in the stump and just waited for the gray squirrels to steal them while I wrote this. However, I did notice that after I stopped playing, the gray squirrels suddenly seemed to appear in much larger numbers than before - can the spawn rate be affected by how many gray squirrels you knock out?

Still, great work overall (and I'm happy to have the highest non-dev score)!

Developer

Thank you so much for your feedback! Yes, I totally broke when our soundmaster showed us the hit sound. 😂

Yes, most of these bugs are known to us and there'll be an update as soon as the voting is over to fix most of those.  Thank you for pointing this out! And congratulations on your great score! :D 🐿

Super fun and simple game! great job on game play and graphics and a very silly interpretation of the theme!

Developer

Thank you! :D

Submitted(+4)

I've seen a lot of games that have this sort of gameplay but this game is just so extremely polished that it makes up for it!

Developer

Thanks! :D 🐿

I see we had simliar theme ideas hah! Yours was much more elaborate and had great visuals as well as mechanics

I liked tossing the huge rocks too

Developer

Interesting concept and beautiful graphics. It's one of the best games of this Jam in my opinion.

Great job!

Nice and challenging game. I will take more time to master it.

Congratulations!

Gather dem acorns! 🐿🤍

My favorite game so far, awesome work. I love the "X" and points that show up when you kill a squirrel and hitting a squirrel walking sideways with a boulder is extremely satisfying. Excellent submission!!

Developer

Thank you very much! Yeah, there's something awesome about hurling a large boulder in  a perfect arch - hitting a grey one and it falls. It's like Eddie Izzard says: "It makes you feel really good but sick." ;D

Thanks again. <3

Wow the graphics is really good but the swoosh sound effect is pretty bad ngl. everything else is good

Developer

Thank you very much for playing and your feedback! :D

Ah nuts! I only got a score of 58. Fun game =D

Developer(+1)

Hey! Sadly, I missed this, I did a timezone miscalculation. :( But it was nice watching you play! I noticed you sadly had your name wiped from your score due to a bug when people restart the game without refreshing the page. But I wrote it in manually :)

Thank you so much for playing! ^^

This game seems like it has a lot of potential for mobile! The only thing I'd suggest is to add a warning icon when a squirrel behind you gets close to the log. Awesome game though!

Developer

Thanks for playing and your feedback! :D

I love this so much! Everything fits together so perfectly haha.

An original take, both in theme and exectution, of the "move around something to protect" mechanic that a lot of jammers went for. I really like the inherent comedy of smacking animals with giant rocks that came of out of nowhere, the art style and the sound design sealed this optimally. I'm also surprised to see that with few elements which work together wonderfully the game is surprisingly addictive, being this the first game of the jam which I played again just for fun and not only to rate it objectively, excellent job!

Wow, thank you so much for playing and your nice words. :D <3
