00:00My name is Dan Dianchmont, Game Director for Squirrel with a Gun, the game where you play

00:08as the neighborhood's most obnoxious rodent, committing crimes and causing mayhem in pursuit

00:13of golden acorns, and I'm so excited to share a bit about what makes this nutty sandbox

00:18shooter and puzzle platformer so special.

00:21The core of Squirrel with a Gun is in its nutty sandbox gameplay.

00:25We had to make sure the gameplay was as crazy as the concept.

00:28You play as an unhinged animal as it wreaks havoc on the world around you as you explore

00:33and complete hidden objectives.

00:35You can be a nice squirrel and ask for snacks and pose for photos.

00:39You might get some rewards for wholesome interactions, like helping a bride find her missing groom,

00:45shooting some hoops, going on a little water adventure, and heading to the skate park to

00:49show off some tricks.

00:51But you can also choose to be a nuisance, pestering the community, like running them

00:55over with your little RC car, giving someone a shave riding the drone, doing a showdown

01:01with Wild Will the cowboy.

01:03There are so many different ways you can interact with people in this game, and a lot of hidden

01:07side quests to complete with the NPCs in exchange for the highly desirable golden acorns.

01:13Regular acorns and the rare golden acorns are used as currency to unlock new weapons

01:18or other interactable items, like your RC car.

01:22This game also has a lot of clever puzzle platforming.

01:25Not only do you jump and climb around like a normal squirrel would, but because this

01:29squirrel is often equipped for combat, you can use a gun's recoil to boost its jumps.

01:35This feature is utilized in various ways based on which gun you are holding, and sometimes

01:39you need a specific weapon to help you navigate a puzzle.

01:42For example, you wouldn't be able to get the acorn on top of this roof without a shotgun

01:45to blast you up there.

01:47We had a lot of fun making each puzzle super unique.

01:50There's a minefield that you have to sneak through to get the rewards on the other side.

01:54The neighborhood itself has all sorts of backyard puzzles, like getting some air with bouncy

01:58umbrellas or getting low in the crawlspace maze.

02:01Some of them can get a little crazy.

02:03You can take to the sky on a bouncy castle, and head underwater to get some rewards.

02:09Let's take a quick pause in the gameplay to show off some cosmetics we've been working

02:13on to style up our squirrel.

02:15My favorite outfit is the diving suit because it lets you explore a hidden underwater cave

02:20that you otherwise wouldn't have access to.

02:23A few of the cosmetics even have tactical effects.

02:26Wearing a bomb suit will reduce explosive damage, and the sparkler hat can light propane

02:30tanks on fire.

02:32And of course, you can't have a squirrel with a gun without the gun.

02:35There's seven different weapons to unlock in the game, each with its own unique takedown

02:39and jump boost.

02:41You can learn more about them by watching our previous Arsenal trailer.

02:44Each one is a blast.

02:46I hope you learned a little something about how squirrels can wield weapons and cause

02:49chaos, and I can't wait for all of you to get your paws on this passion project of ours.
