Squirrel With a Gun (v1.8.0.14 & ALL DLC)
Game Overview
A pistol-toting squirrel turns a quiet suburban neighborhood into a slapstick crime scene, trading stealthy acorn gathering for explosions, car theft, and spectacularly unnecessary violence. Squirrel With a Gun is an open-ended action sandbox that treats its ridiculous premise with enough commitment to make every encounter funnier. After escaping a shadowy underground facility, the tiny menace roams streets, homes, rooftops, and hidden areas while pursued by relentless suited Agents. The mood sits somewhere between a cartoon caper and a physics-heavy playground, with chaos always taking priority over realism.
Golden acorns act as the main reward, encouraging players to poke around the map, solve environmental challenges, harass residents, and complete bite-sized objectives. Guns are not merely combat tools: recoil can launch the squirrel across gaps, help it climb vertical spaces, and create improvised solutions to platforming puzzles. Pistols, shotguns, grenade launchers, and other weapons each affect movement differently, so swapping firearms can be as important as aiming accurately. Fights pit the squirrel against armed Agents and tougher encounters, while drivable vehicles, loose physics objects, and reactive civilians give the sandbox plenty of opportunities for unscripted nonsense.
What separates it from a standard comedy shooter is how closely its traversal is tied to weapon recoil and the squirrel’s small size; even a simple jump becomes a potentially explosive stunt. Its compact neighborhood feels more like a dense toy box than a massive open world, rewarding experimentation over checklist fatigue. Fans of Goat Simulator, Untitled Goose Game, and deliberately janky physics comedy will recognize the appeal, though Squirrel With a Gun adds more conventional shooting and platforming to the formula. It suits players who want a short, silly single-player sandbox full of absurd moments, especially if they enjoy finding their own trouble rather than following a serious story.
