How it feels

A lighthearted puzzle-action game where you guide a chipmunk through colorful retro levels by jumping and rolling walnuts.

What players say

Players praise the retro GameBoy aesthetic and the unique walnut-rolling puzzles, but note the game is short with only five worlds. Some find the controls slippery and the timed platforming frustrating, especially on the one-hit-kill Tough Nut mode. The slow initial load is a common complaint, though the game runs smoothly after that.
