Early Steam Reviews
Squirrel with the Gun has "Very Positive" reviews on Steam as of press time.
"Very fun and funny game, though rough around the edges and way too short," Steam user Wharfiggle said in a Steam review. "It's like if Goat Simulator actually had good mechanics."
"This game is actually really fun," AvgSpy said in a separate review. "You wouldn't expect it to be particularly fun outside of exploiting jank, like with Goat Simulator, but that's not what you'll get with this game."
"Starting out it can be difficult to figure out the weapon recoil and how the squirrel controls, but you get used to it pretty quickly," AvgSpy assured.
