I chose the pie-baking squirrel on my first playthrough. Pretty good game with solid animations and a cute story. Platforming was a bit hard so it would be nice if the squirrel's movement was tweaked a bit and you couldn't bump your head under the platform branches. Maybe it could have had 8-bit music and sound effects to make it feel a bit more like a Game Boy game.

Overall, good game! I like how interactions looked like Pokémon Battles.

If you like, you could play my forgetful goldfish game.

Super cute squirrels and fun story. The movement was difficult though. Really loved the player animations, but I think they were too quick compared to the movement speed.

Great graphics and music. The platformer was a bit difficult, due to the size of the squirrel. also, I thought that one of the squirrels gave me the fireflies, but when I entered the forest it still said I don’t have any….

Thank you so much for playing. You need to get fireflies from all 3 squirrels to progress, but it is a bit unclear indeed.

Great art, and sound track! Platforming felt good too, turning around felt a little stiff for me personally! Great job!

That's great! Really beautiful art and well-crafted dialogue with the squirrels—haha! Gambling is a vice; it can cost you love...

The music is so good 👌 the platforming was a bit frustrating at times but maybe that was intentional. Great character work too, very charming game overall.

Jumping through the trees was definitely a bit challenging but fun. Music was great, movement was pretty smooth, didn't notice any game breaking bugs or any bugs at all. Made it to the end, probably about 10 minutes. Cool game, anyone reading should go ahead and check it out!
