This is not the swearing, substance abusing and violent little squirrel we all know from the N64, however, as achievements in retroarch noted, they had much of the same music in it though. Like The Great Mighty Poo song in 8bit.
This feels like a kid's version of Conker, which is a pretty bad idea imo, but also, it feels like this is a story of the stuff he had to deal with which led to Conker's Bad Fur Day such as how almost everyone he interacts with is an Acorn, including the evil one that kidnaps his girlfriend, a evil black squirrel that ruins your name violent plants that what to eat you and all kinds of villains who want to pick on this poor squirrel who just wanted to enjoy his birthday with his girlfriend. You even have to recollect all of your presents! It's one thing to steal the gifts, but to scatter them all over the place? That's just a different level of petty evil.
The style of gameplay is similar to Zelda in the perspective with some mild platforming which makes things annoying when you don't have a weapon until, after speaking to the Acorns, you go to the windmill to get yourself a slingshot. From this you progress to different worlds but obtaining different keys, having a semi-open world kind of vibe to it, though that's mostly to hide the gifts all over the place.
This game was clearly aimed at little kids and it feels like it, but in the same way of insulting young minds by having a very flimsy story to explain the events and motivate the player. In regards to gameplay, it's still solid so I can't say it's a terrible game in that way, but it is pretty boring and certain mini-games are non-optional and I was stuck for sooo long with one where I had to get a boat part, which you need to make a boat and race against your doppelganger! It took me way too long to finish this game and it shows in the video below, however, it still wasn't my worst experience of Cringetober. It was the last official game I had planned for Cringetober, however, I did add two more that'll be coming out soon which I added to Cringetober retroactively. Fallout 76 and Overwatch 2. Games I dislike for personal reasons.
