Good art, but too easy.

Running into baddies, falling to your "death," or being shocked by a laser/electrical beam only made you lose a few coins, which were more than made up for by collecting coins on the level. That and the lack of action and easily solved puzzle levels turned this game into an easy time waster rather than something you would actually enjoy playing and replaying. That being said, although the idea of a castle escape game is unoriginal to the umpteenth degree, the graphics were very colorful, the scenes varying and increasingly interesting, the controls simple and fluid, and the puzzles inventive. It is also obvious that you have put a lot of time and effort into this game.
Overall, this game was enjoyable to play, if not perhaps for the gameplay itself, than for the backgrounds that were relatively unique across the 31 levels. If you were ever to make a sequel, I would recommend not eliminating the puzzle/acrobatic element, but adding an action element, be it as simple (and unoriginal) as jumping on your enemies. But I'm sure an inventive person such as yourself can devise a more unique style of gameplay.

its alright

pretty simple tho,liked it.make another with more epic weaps etc.

Mixed reactions

It looks good. It's fun to play. It's just the right length.I like the art. But there are a few major problems I feel that this game has:
1. Too easy.
2. Parts reused too many times (enemies, electricity and platforms)
3. Yes. Too cheesy. (The smiles and the motion tweens)
4. Not really fun: It should include a form of lives, and less coin spamming in the last level.

This game would be very fun if you would correct those "mistakes"... But it's just my opinion, that's all. Keep up the good work!

One of the best Squirrel Family games. The option to select your squirrel is very nice. Other then that it is a simple platformer, with avoiding enemies and electric beams. Death is a bit too inconsequential in this game. Completing the game is easy because after death you just get to restart the current level and only the score is a bit diminished. Levels are very short making checkpoints very common. True challenge lies in trying to die as rarely as possible while collecting all coins to get as good score as possible, but with no highscores or score benchmarks, this seems like a rather useless and boring task, that only true die hard fans of this game would undertake, then again the gameplay is so basic that I have doubts this game has any fans so die hard. Nothing suggests you get a special ending when you get the perfect score anyway, so why bother? The game does not bring answer to that question.
