About Hungry Squirrel
A squirrel runs through the woods and you keep it out of trouble. Nuts are what you are after, birds are what stops you, and the pace climbs steadily so that a route which felt easy a minute ago stops being.
There is nothing to learn beyond the timing, which is the honest appeal of it: one input, a rising speed and a score you were beating five minutes ago. It plays in portrait at 600 by 800, which suits a phone held upright.
How to play
- Send the squirrel through the forest.
- Gather the nuts along the way.
- Get out of the path of the birds.
- Last as long as you can as the speed climbs.

Tips
- Leave a nut that sits under a bird. One nut is worth less than the run it ends.
- React to the speed, not to your memory of it. What worked last run is now slightly too late.
