Nuts is quite self-contained, it doesn't try to grasp more than it can, and maybe because of that the gameplay got old fast, and the story didn't expand upon itself as much as it could.

The artstyle and overall vibes, though, were nailed. The restrained color palette choices are good, despite being confusing at times, and contribute to the simplicity of the game.

Maybe, had I liked its story more than I have (I think it can be a better one for some people), I would have enjoyed Nuts more as a whole. In the end, however, it was worthwhile to chase after some funny little squirrels and just enjoy the serene forests it presents during the 3 hours I beat it in.
