With an arsenal of guns at your disposal (including a rocket launcher) and an action-packed city sandbox, you\u2019ll take on the dastardly but well-dressed agents, help out curious citizens (or not), take on quests, race in cars, boats, and of course, collect those sweet acorns.<\/p>\n<p>While you\u2019ll definitely be shooting (a lot!), there\u2019s lots more to do in Squirrel With A Gun. So let me walk you through just a few of the nutty activities you\u2019ll encounter.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Squirrel with a Gun Screenshot\" class=\"wp-image-204801 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/canvasholidays.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/SWAG_HauntedDollHouse_Screenshot_3-a9e4de5b5498c41b7a38.jpg\"><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Birthday Gift<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The city isn\u2019t just crawling with agents trying to take you down; it\u2019s also home to regular citizens going about their daily business. Watch them closely. You might sense that some of them could use a bit of help. Take for example, this sad individual sitting all alone in the park. Judging by the birthday hat on his head, it looks like today is his special day, but nobody showed up to celebrate with him. If you can sniff out a birthday cake and bring it back to him, you\u2019ll not only brighten his day, but you\u2019ll also score yourself a sweet reward! So, lending a helping paw can be beneficial. If you don\u2019t fancy helping the citizens, just let your mischievous side shine and go nuts! Who are we to tell you how to play this game?<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Squirrel with a Gun Screenshot\" class=\"wp-image-204805 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/canvasholidays.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/SWAG_Birthday_Screenshot_2-c3f273e24ffdb9dffeca.jpg\"><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Squirrel vs. Football Team<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Keen for a run? Then head over to the local football field! It\u2019s time to see if a tiny squirrel like you can outmanoeuvre an entire, jacked-up colleague football team. Sure, they\u2019ve got the numbers and the muscles, but you\u2019ve got speed, agility, and \u2013 well \u2013 fur! Dash around, jump sky-high, use your inner flow, and avoid getting caught. If you do manage to score a goal, prepare for a \u201cgoal celebration\u201d like no other, with a special reward dropping from the sky\u2026 And let\u2019s just say it\u2019s got a little explosive kick to it!<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Squirrel with a Gun Screenshot\" class=\"wp-image-204802 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/canvasholidays.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/SWAG_Football_Screenshot_1-0fce81347ffd7ce81c1a.jpg\"><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>House Parties &amp; Pole Dancing<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>While outdoor antics are a blast, don\u2019t forget to check out the houses. Most doors are locked, but if you manage to sneak in (or break in), you\u2019ll find even more opportunities to cause some havoc. One house in particular seems to be hosting a wild neighborhood party. There are people dancing, having a great time, and right-smack in the middle of the room, there\u2019s a party pole! You know what to do, Squirrel! Hop on and show off your moves, and you might just get showered with a rain of acorns. Who knew squirrels could put on such a show, ey?! P.S. Blowing up doors can also\u00a0 be a good way to enter locked areas, just so you know.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Squirrel with a Gun Screenshot\" class=\"wp-image-204803 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/canvasholidays.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/SWAG_Party-Pole_Screenshot_1-c25b7818ce07cb8044c7.jpg\"><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Haunted House for Halloween Season<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Every Halloween-loving Squirrel out there should be on the lookout for the Haunted House, a mysterious place hidden somewhere in the neighborhood. To enter, you\u2019ll need to put your brainpower to the test (hmmm, those pumpkins nearby certainly don\u2019t look out of place). Once you manage to crack the code and step inside, brace yourself for a horror no Squirrel could imagine. What you will find seems harmless\u2026 or is it? One thing\u2019s for sure: this place is definitely haunted and it\u2019s hiding some seriously valuable treasure. Yes, we\u2019re talking some serious golden acorns! Search for clues, solve puzzles, and score two exclusive outfits along the way. One of them might even turn you into a ghost. Spooky!<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Squirrel with a Gun Screenshot\" class=\"wp-image-204804 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/canvasholidays.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/SWAG_HauntedDollHouse_Screenshot_2-c46526dd2825e6c1d007.jpg\"><\/figure>\n<p>I hope that you enjoyed getting to know Squirrel With a Gun and I hope that these three locations will bring just as much fun and laugh out loud moments as it did for us. So get out there you funky little Squirrel! There\u2019s so much more to discover and puzzles to solve in our (not-so-peaceful) neighborhood. We can\u2019t wait for you to jump in and literally go nuts.<\/p>\n<p>Squirrel With a Gun is out now on Xbox!
