About Adventure Squirrel

I remember stumbling across Adventure Squirrel back when simple puzzle-platformers were popping up everywhere, and it stood out with its bright little rodent hero. You guide that cheerful squirrel through each level, hopping over gaps, nudging blocks into place, and figuring out how to reach the exit after grabbing every last acorn or mushroom. There’s this gentle humor in the way obstacles pop up—buttons that toggle platforms, rolling logs that need a nudge, even teleporters that catch you off guard if you aren’t paying attention.

The challenge ramps up at a nice pace. Early stages are almost like a tutorial, just teaching you the jump-and-run basics, but before you know it you’re dealing with switches that need pressing in just the right order or block puzzles where one wrong move can mean starting over. What really hooked me was the level editor—after beating the built-ins, I spent a surprising amount of time tinkering with my own designs and trying to trick friends into impossible mazes.

There’s a kind of old-school charm to it. No grand story, no flashy effects—just a bright, cartoony squirrel doing its best in some cleverly built rooms. It’s the sort of experience that feels cozy yet mentally stimulating, a quick brain-teaser that never overstays its welcome and always leaves you eager to try just one more screen. If you appreciate that mix of platforming and light puzzle work, Adventure Squirrel has a way of sticking with you long after you’ve put the controller down.
