Dan DeEntremont Productions released their second trailer for their upcoming sandbox game Squirrel with a Gun today during Summer of Gaming. The trailer features the squirrel's gun-toting origin story (of sorts), plenty of hilarious shenanigans, and most importantly: a Bond-like theme song for our furry protagonist.
Why? It sounds like a quirky idea but it looks like it has a potential for something fun and unique. It definitely doesn't look like it's trying to be deliberately broken like the Goat Simulator.That game pretty much sums up my thoughts on why in these days Steam is full of shit.
It is not easy, but it's fun, to be a squirrel with a gun!
Squirrel with a Gun is a sandbox game that focuses on exploration and shooting combat. Defend yourself from random encounters with Agents using various weapons. Climb and jump across platforms with your natural squirrel skill, and use weapon recoil to cross even greater gaps. Explore the neighborhood from a squirrel's eye view. Talk with residents of the neighborhood and help them out for goodies... Or mug them for goodies!
Is a moose with a gun playable as well?

A comical trailer for Squirrel With A Gun detailed the sandbox chaos players can engage in in this absurd rodent-led shooter. It's coming to PC on August 29 and will be released on consoles later this year.

Squirrel with a Gun is an awesome, immediately charming idea with legs as short as its fluffy protagonist. While platforming around by firing off weapons and causing mayhem in the small sandbox areas yields plenty of enjoyable moments, shallow combat, numerous technical issues, and a short runtime left me wanting more. Even the over-the-top boss fights, which are definitely a high point in the zany adventure, come to an end all too quickly and are in short supply. I still adore this violent rodent and would love to see a sequel that’s bigger, more fleshed out, and less prone to crashing, but this first shot leaves a fair bit to be desired.
