Swift Squirrel is a thrilling 2D platformer game that features a fast-paced, pixel art gameplay that will leave you on the edge of your seat! You play as a nimble squirrel who is determined to beat the clock and complete each level in record time.

I played 5 of all levels! Overall, it is a nice game with great pixel art.

Two points that need improvements:

  1. Level Design: some things are not visually obvious (one jumping spring can be stronger than another without a visual difference), some game mechanics can be used to break most of the levels played by me (like jumping on the walls), some level patterns are not engaging;
  2. SFX: the game lucks audio. You only have audio for level completion.

It is a game with potential - you definitely have a strong, engaging idea and mechanics. But you need to check what you can do from the content perspective of your game. Good luck!)
