Squirrel with a Gun is a sandbox shooter and puzzle platformer from Dee Dee Creations LLC where you play as a squirrel who escapes a secret underground facility by firing weapons roughly three times your own body size. The core loop is simple: find golden acorns, blast agents, and use gun recoil as a traversal mechanic to reach otherwise inaccessible areas. It is a short, goofy, self-aware experience that does not pretend to be anything else. From a systems perspective, the game is lighter than my usual beat. There is no tech tree, no production chain, no late-game scaling crisis. What there is, however, is a surprisingly considered design around momentum and physics. The recoil-jump mechanic rewards players who experiment with different firearms to reach elevated platforms, and the puzzle-platformer side of the game asks you to think spatially about angles and knockback distance. It is not deep strategy, but it is not mindless either. The "Nuts for Nuts" DLC adds cosmetic variety with two extra squirrel skins and an outfit, which is exactly what it says on the tin. No new mechanics, no expanded content, just aesthetics for players who want their crime-rodent to look the part. Where the game succeeds is in committing fully to its absurd premise. The agents are cartoonishly serious opponents for a squirrel, the environments escalate from neighborhood suburbia to facility corridors in ways that feel earned, and the moment-to-moment shooting has enough feedback to stay satisfying. Where it stumbles is scope. The runtime is short, the sandbox world is contained, and players expecting a sprawling open world will bump into the edges quickly. There is also only partial controller support listed, which is worth checking before you settle into a couch session on a DualSense. For newcomers, there is genuinely nothing intimidating here. The premise functions as its own tutorial. You are a squirrel, you picked up a gun, figure out what happens when you shoot near a ledge. The learning curve is measured in minutes. For veterans of more demanding action titles, the ceiling of challenge is low, but the comedy and sandbox physics carry it past what the mechanical depth alone would justify. Steam reviews sit at 85% positive across a healthy sample size, which is an honest signal that the joke lands more often than it misfires. As a PS5 DLC listing for a game the data places on PC, buyers should verify platform availability before purchasing. The cosmetic-only nature of this DLC means it is a purchase for people already sold on the base game who want visual variety, not a reason to buy into the experience fresh. Diego, Scout Team
