Squirrel With a Gun

★★★★☆

Fun, absurd, and absurdly fun.

Yes, you play as a squirrel. And yes, you carry a gun. Or rather, you can find and use a variety of guns as you escape a secret research facility hidden below an ordinary suburb, climbing telephone poles, outrunning (and outgunning!) agents, charming residents – and occasionally holding them up to steal their acorns or cell phones. It’s a totally ridiculous platformer/shooter combo, which is what makes it work.
