here is how to beat squirrel,
do not let him stomp you you will fucking die
acorn not might kill you, but unarm you so don't hit by it
when he is near from food avoid attack
Squirrel will be toughest boss you will ever face in entire life once you hit you have to waste 6 min again good luck

Yo, berserk tater is intense.
It do be adorable. Only adjustments I'd make is to have the food hitboxes be a little more generous, and slightly quicken the rate at which new elements are introduced. If the game doesn't possess checkpoints and it takes a while to get to the harder stuff, then the quicker we can get back to the challenging part that we failed, the better.
Actually pretty good game!
The graphics and overall retro visuals are nice, however the music is kind of repetitive. Also it can get a little boring, maybe adding a phase 2 or something for our potato friend would be nice.

Hi thank you for the feedback. I have updated the game so you can now turn on/off the music by pressing Z.
It's a cool unique arcade game, I like the art style and it adds a unique twist to the food drop games with the enemies and bosses thrown in to distract you from filling up your hunger. The only complaint I have is that the controls feel very slippery, other than that it's great!
