Squirrel with a Gun
Squirrel, meet gun. As the neighborhood’s most obnoxious rodent, develop a knack (and a love?) for crime and mayhem in pursuit of golden acorns in this nutty sandbox shooter and puzzle platformer. Fight tooth, claw, and gun to escape a secret underground facility and defeat the Agents.

Steam review score and the most-helpful voices, which may include critical ones. Data as of 2026-05-20.
“This game reminds me of goat simulator, it's similar in many ways. To be honest, it's not the most thrilling experience out there, the game loses its novelty after a couple of hours. I mean the whole premise is - haha, look, the squirrel is holding a gun. As of writing this…”
— a player, Steam review · 9 hrs played“Words cannot describe the awesomeness of this game. Its a squirrel, with a gun, fighting waves of incompetent G MEN and terrorizing the locals. Its so beautiful I could cry. Also, the music is absolutely killer.”
— a player, Steam review · 15 hrs played“It's silly fun, and the car part isn't as bad as some of the negative reviews claim. Either the devs have made it easier since those reviews or it's a genuine skill issue. (And I mean that in the nicest possible way)”
