Many note the game is short, often completed in 4-7 hours, but still worth a discount. [1][2][3] Some reviewers report bugs in co-op and that the developer is defunct, leaving the game unpatched. [4][5][6]

Cute little game but I can't recommend at full price. There are a lot of bugs in the co-op version including quests completing for one person and not both so you miss out on key things if you happen to be unlucky. From some digging I did it seems the company that made this game are no more so there won't be any updates to fix these issues. Other than what I said above its a lovely game to play with family or friends …

While the developer went under, they did make a complete experience in this before then, its obvious to me they did want to do more with it, but they tied it off into a finished product still. The game wont last you a long time so you may want to wait for a discount before getting it. However, what's here is a pleasant and just fun experience, also completely family friendly for those that care about that.

I've had a lot of fun playing this. The game does a great job at really making you feel like a squirrel, from the controls and movement to the animations of how you run and jump. Having spent plenty of time watching squirrel antics in my backyard growing up, I feel like they nailed the feeling and appearance very well. It's a really fun and relaxing game with gentle puzzles, a simple yet satisfying crafting system, …

🐿️Squirreled Away! Really fun squirrel simulator! Scurry through 5 areas that make up a huge park, café/courtyard, and blooming flower gardens. Discover 6 Golden Acorns in each area, craft and upgrade tools, gather resources, teleport between your bases, and unlock the cutest décor to build and decorate! My favorite part is the movement! You sprint by default and stick to nearly every surface, making it incredibly …

Took us about 7h to complete every quest and find every golden acorn. For how cute this game is and how much I loved climbing around as a squirrel, it was sadly way too short! I need more excuses to keep being a squirrel! *A couple bugs encountered on co op, but a quick restart fixed all of them.

Fun and chill game to play as co-op. The game is pretty simple and short, but is perfect for the gameplay experience it tries to achieve.

neutral · AI labelView post →Personally I was dissapointed in the game, normally I'd say that I would be interested to see the devs next project, but apparently after 6 months since release, they got completely nuked from orbit, there is no announcement on their twitter or steam update posts, but they did confirm the obliteration on their official discord (then closed that down too it seems). Their YT cannel, where devlogs were uploaded, is also down. I don't know if it's some weird THQ policy to not properly disclose…

No inventory clutter, no overcomplicated menus or systems, everything was fully intuitive even for my partner who only occasionally plays games. What you should also know going into this game: this is not exactly a survival game. This is a cozy but fun exploration game where you can build a base to craft new items that you get by meditating on its core materials and get better…

I collected all the acorns n stuff but it still says "Fountain Springs ????" And I found another bug where it says that another hidden storage is around but it s not appearing. So, I m unable to finish the game 100% and I hate that.

neutral · AI labelView post →The game is short, but it is a lot of fun to play with friends. The developer went under, but they left a finished product that had even more potential
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A simple gameplay built entirely around fetch quests and the fact that it repeats this in each new area without adding variety makes it even worse. Extremely casual and there’s no real danger in the game. The visuals and locomotion aren't bad.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cute, and simple enough to make for an easy few play sessions, but that simplicity undermines the experience past its aesthetic charm, matching with the poor haptics and unremarkable progression to make just another substandard survival crafting game in a sea of substandard survival crafting games, but without any of the mechanical tension that gives the rest of the genre its hooks. Usually the make-or-break question of "what am I actually building *towards* by playing this game?" waits until…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A really fun exploration & crafting game. A little short, but that also means you don't get tired of it. I saw it described as a platformer, and I don't really agree with that - yes, you're running around and jumping, but that's not where the difficulty comes in for the game. Instead, it's in puzzling out the hints to find hidden objects and finishing all the quests. Overall, a fun and short game with really cute animations. The jumping from tree to tree was really satisfying, and they…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wanted to love this game so bad. I wanted it to be the cute "Explore, gather, craft, and build incredible treehouses" game that it advertised to be but the world feels too closed off, there's not much of a point to crafting, and there is literally no reason to built a tree house. Sure you can build an elaborate tree house, but why? There's nothing to put in it. You'll need a roof piece over like two crafting stations. That's it. That's all the tree house you need, one piece of roof. I thought…
