Squirel Steps
About Squirel Steps
Squirrel Steps is a charming arcade platformer where your nimble squirrel hops from stepping stone to stepping stone, collecting acorns and avoiding gaps on the way up. The platforms appear and disappear at varying speeds, creating a timing challenge that escalates as you climb higher.
Collecting acorns along the way earns points and unlocks new squirrel skins. Missing a platform means falling back to a lower position — or off the screen entirely for a game over. Clean, precise timing is what separates a good run from a great one.

Tips & Strategies
- Focus on the landing spot, not the squirrel. Watch where the next platform is in relation to your jump arc rather than tracking the squirrel in mid-air.
- Jump earlier than feels natural. Most players hesitate too long and jump late. Committing to the jump a beat early usually results in cleaner landings.
- Skip acorns in risky positions. An acorn on the far edge of a narrow platform isn't worth the risk of a wobbled landing — only grab safe ones.
