Nice addictive game loop, I had fun mowing down trees and squirrels for a while! I think adding some more polish to the combat would really kick things up a notch, it's hard to tell when you're hitting the squirrels and when they're attacking you so some feedback like sfx or knockback on the squirrels would make it really crunchy.

Thanks! I absolutely agree, feedback and fairer ways of dealing with the squirrels were all planned, but I just ran out of time. I wanted to put a kind of "squirrel shield" that protects you from one bite per upgrade, which would allow you to avoid the first, almost impossible to avoid bite. Who knows, maybe I will implement it anyways just to see if it makes a difference. Thanks again for playing!
