About

Squirrel Up! Endless Climber

Features
Read full description

The squirrel never stops climbing. He runs up the trunk in an endless spiral — TAP to swirl the other way, weave between the branches, and see how high you can get before the tree wins. Looks easy. It isn't. ONE THUMB, ONE RULE • Tap to reverse your swirl around the trunk • Swipe up to hop over a branch in a pinch • Swipe down (or tap the button) to fire a power you brought along • That's the whole tutorial — mastering it is another story A TREE THAT TRAVELS THE WORLD • Sunny Grove — learn the ropes among the leaves • Rainy Pines — crosswinds shove you sideways; read the rain to survive • Dark Forest — fireflies, glowing acorns, and wide-swinging owls • Frozen Summit — snow-capped branches and ice that locks your steering • Every biome has its own hand-made soundtrack DANGERS & TREASURES • Wasps and owls on patrol, sticky sap, slippery ice • Golden acorns parked just past the branch tips — greed pays, or doesn't • Shield bubbles that eat one mistake — stack two and the ring turns gold • Leaf gusts that rocket you skyward, and magnets that pull the tree's acorns to you • Skim past a branch for a CLOSE CALL bonus THE DEN • Every acorn you grab gets banked — spend them on your squirrel • Three bodies and a wardrobe of gear: hats, scarf, goggles, a firefly friend • Souvenirs unlock as you reach new biomes • The Pack: shields, gusts, magnets and second winds, bought as often as you like — carry one up every climb • Optional one-time upgrades can add a second Pack pocket or start an unranked climb in any world • Nut Rush mode: everything 25% faster, if you dare DAILY MISSIONS • Three fresh missions every day • Claim your rewards and watch the acorns fly into your stash MADE BY HAND • Hand-drawn characters, scenery drawn in code, every sound synthesized from scratch • Play offline — no account, no ads, no tracking, no nonsense How high can you get? The tree is endless. Your excuses aren't. Privacy Policy: https://danvilela.com/squirrel-up/privacy-policy
