An action game full of ridiculous humor. In Squirrel with a Gun we play a squirrel who wanders the neighborhood with a gun in his paw and fights the pursuing agents, performs tasks and solves various puzzles.
Squirrel with a Gun is an action game full of grotesque humor. It was made in the style of absurd "simulators" - funny games like the Goat Simulator series, as well as Pigeon Simulator or Bear Simulator, among others. It was developed by indie developer Daniel DeEntremont.
In Squirrel with a Gun the story layer does not play a particularly important role. We play as the titular squirrel, who dashes through the neighborhood with a gun in his paw and goes through various adventures, helping the residents of the area or, on the contrary, making their lives miserable in various ways.
In Squirrel with a Gun we observe the action from a third-person perspective (TPP). Game offers an open world, which we can freely roam; our squirrel climbs and jumps on the elements of the environment, and can also enter buildings. In the course of the game we perform various missions, in return for which we get various goodies; from time to time we also have to solve an environmental puzzle. At the same time, our rodent has to be on guard, as secret agents often sit on his tail, trying to catch him at all costs.
Fortunately, our charge is not defenseless. As the title suggests, she can handle firearms, which she uses to fight the pursuing thugs.... but not only. Indeed, the recoil of the guns, combined with the squirrel's low weight, allows us to cover considerable distances in the air. Although this requires a bit of dexterity and ingenuity, it allows us to get to places otherwise inaccessible.
Squirrel with a Gun features eye-pleasing graphics. Our squirrel is realistically animated and full of fine details; moreover, a physics engine takes care of the behavior of objects, characters and the rodent.

Game Ratings for Squirrel with a Gun Video Game.
The Outerhaven Productions: 3 / 5 by Karl Smart
Squirrel with a Gun is one of those games which is a streamer's dream. A lot of references to other media can be found around every corner, there is a challenge in the level design, and the guns are a lot of fun. However, with no objective marker or quest log, you do spend far too much time wandering around looking for fun instead of having fun, some of the level designs become frustrating to have to do the same thing over and over in order to get to a single objective, only to fall off something and have to climb forever all over again.
Cinelinx: 4 / 5 by Jeremy Roughan
While the platforming elements can be challenging, at time frustratingly so, Squirrel With a Gun is still an absolute joy to play.
Checkpoint Gaming: 5.5 / 10 by Tom Quirk
Squirrel with a Gun has a janky charm, from its crazy attack animations to occasionally ridiculous physics-based challenges. The concept of a platformer where the player character is so tiny that their gun is used to propel them into the air is a clever one that I wish was used in a more enjoyable game. However, despite some occasionally fun challenges and crazy cutscenes, Squirrel with a Gun feels overstretched across its roughly eight-hour playtime, with an overall lack of technical polish that goes beyond funny and becomes frustrating to play. It isn't bad overall and certainly has its fun moments (particularly the boss fights), but the bugs and general jankiness of the experience hold it back from reaching its full potential.
