It's a beautiful day in Granny's backyard, and you are a very hungry squirrel. 

Granny has placed a freshly baked pie on her window sill, and you know you have to eat it. But watch out for dangers in the backyard! Lawn mowers running loose, bear traps forgotten on the ground, and even Granny's son, Jimmy will all try and stop you. If you're in a tight spot, you can either hide in the foliage, or grab an acorn to gain an extra life. You'll have to take some risks to avoid Granny's traps if you want to get your reward.

HOW TO PLAY:

• Use WASD or your arrow keys to navigate through the yard.
• Press Space to hide in a tree or bush, and press space again to leave it.
• Get to the pie in the windowsill without hitting any obstacles to complete each level.
• If you need a little extra space to maneuver in the last few meters, ask yourself a question; can squirrels run on walls? Try it out!

WATCH FOR:

Lawn Mower	Spike Trap	Jimmy	Acorn	Pie	Foliage
Lawn mowers move back and forth across the yard. They hurt.	Spike Traps don't move, but will take away a life.	Jimmy is Granny's son. He'll chase you around the yard. Don't let him catch you! Listen for his boss music to know when he's hunting.	Acorns will give you one extra life!	Reach the pie to beat the level!	Hide in a tree or a bush when you're in danger!
