Grab the acorns. Dodge everything else. Run until you can't. Squirrelz Nuts is a fast, pick-up-and-play endless runner built for one-thumb sessions and no-mercy high scores. Eight worlds, escalating chaos, and a shop full of upgrades between runs. EIGHT WORLDS Forest: birds overhead, dogs on your tail Ocean Adventure: sharks above, sea urchins below Star Station: aliens and UFOs, and nowhere to hide City Park: pigeons, benches and mailboxes everywhere Snow Day: something big is up on the mountain with you Squirrel Park: the big city, with an obstacle at every turn Falling Leaves: stumps below, birds flocking low Halloween: prepare to be spooked! BUILD YOUR RUN Bank acorns on every run and spend them on upgrades and power-ups. Bad runs still pay. Unlock new worlds in any order once you have saved enough. UNLOCK NEW LOOKS Collect gems as you run and cash them in for new squirrel skins. An optional pack adds five more you can't get any other way, including astronaut, scuba, and a winter squirrel who came prepared. DIFFICULTY THAT KEEPS UP The game scales with you. The further you get, the less forgiving it becomes. ONE THUMB, ANY MOMENT Designed for short sessions. Plays fine in line, on the train, or during a meeting you should be paying attention to. NO ADS. NO PAYWALLS. The full game is free. Every acorn and gem is earned in-game. Two optional skins pack if you want to look good doing it.
