It's pretty cool you combined an important message with game mechanics! I'm curious what it would be like if the game was expanded? Would the squirrel always die? Or maybe the squirrel would be successful for awhile, but as the game went on, survival slowly became increasingly more impossible. I think having a player play as a human, then as an animal puzzling through the same exact level - but with their consequences left over - could be incredibly compelling! From your message at the end of the game, it seems like you are new to game development, so its awesome you decided not only to make a game, but one with deep meaning imbued into the mechanics.

Thank you for playing the game and for your post, Matthew! From the beginning the idea was to make posible for the Squirrel to survive in every single level, but increasingly more difficult, and that difficulty curve would represent how humankind needs to sacrifice its confortable life to live with other species. You would be able to finish the game alone in the world or with a lot of furry friends!
