What is Squirrelmageddon!?
Squirrelmageddon!
is a solo-developed arcade shooter where missions pit players against mutant squirrels and virus-infected AI androids. Objectives structure the missions, while killing squirrels can draw larger ones, including explosive variants. A hotkey switches between first- and third-person views, and the game also offers an aim-down-sights option. Weapon progression includes 18 weapons, proficiency training, and levels that change clip size, reload speed, and damage. Players can craft, cook meals for stat boosts, modify a suit, train soldiers, and use grenades, traps, proximity mines, or movable turrets. A Wrath system makes failure lead to squirrel mutations; players can also affect mutations and zone threat levels through offerings. Glider movement and movable barricades and crates add further gameplay elements.
