Title screen shows just a bullet flying out of the barrel and not an entire cartridge. This game is already more authentic than 90% of the titles on the market.
Plus, we fire the whole bullet. That's 65% more bullet per bullet. This is the same technology we've been using on robots for decades. Scares the hell out of them.

This game is so bittersweet to me. I had a friend die a couple of years ago who was completely obsessed with squirrels. She would have laughed herself sick with this game.
I know the developer of this game (not well, but I worked at a school where he had been a student many moons ago. He's a brilliantly talented artist who makes hilarious content, and had done well for himself as a VFX artist.
omg, i have like a half dozen pet/wild squirrels (they live outside but jump on my shoulder and i feed them by hand). I cant watch this if they're around, give them too many ideas

0:10 - An "asset FLIP", not FLOP! "Asset flip" means that the game uses assets from the Asset Store (so game developers just "flipped some assets" from the Store).
This strikes me as basically the same energy as Snakes on A Plane. A name that is literally and spot on for it what it is, unhined insanity, self awareness of what it is and doesn't try to be anything more. I'm here for it.
I've waited for this game for a long time. It just seems like fun. No other premises, just a weird concept and a cute squirrel. The only thing better would have been a raccoon.
I like the implication of the intro scene that all the nuts and squirrels size cars etc. are actually something else the government cares about. The squirrel is just living its power fantasy in its head, or playing games like "the floor is lava"
Splat the depth of field is to give the game a better perspective of being a small squirrel. It like when they do a tilt shift blur on a photo of a city and it makes it look like it's a model train set.
Hollywood, please don't make an "adaptation" of this masterpiece. Although I am looking forward to the continuation of this game Squirrel With A Gun 2: The Squeak-quel, and Squirrel With A Gun 3, Reap the Squirrel-wind where our hero takes control of a F-35.
That’s a Browning Hi-Power. What an obscure choice of gun. Kind of random. It’s substantially smaller than a 1911 so maybe they chose it because a 1911 would be too big for a squirrel while the Hi-Power makes more sense🤓😂
I once went to the park and in front of my parking spot was a squirrel sitting and munching on a perfectly opened sneakers bar. I barely escaped with my life.
The depth of field seems more realistic considering the size of the creature you’re having to focus on. Our vision in real life is way more focused if we aren’t constantly scanning.
i was excited about this game when I first saw it announced... Now I realized that i got everything I need out of it just from watching you play it. lmao
4:40 There was that cop that fell to the ground, cried out that he had been shot, and mag dumped into his squad car after an acorn landed on the roof of his squad car.
This game would have absolutely killed it in the early 2000s I wish it was a bit cheaper, this is absolutely something id gift my friends for shits and gigs
It's not rack-tap-bang. It's "tap- rack- bang" and it's not used for a regular reload. It's used during a malfunction while engaging a target. You "tap" hit/push up the magazine to seat it fully, then "rack" (pull back) the slide or charging handle to eject the malfunctioning round and simultaneously reload a new round, then "bang" pull the trigger. Just some knowledge. Great review tho!

Yeah it's even a hollow point. Why is it this game, of all games, that can bother to do it right?

and that tank shot! a discarding fin-stabilized HEAT round! the attention to detail with the guns is just...nuts!

This is what that one cop was trying to protect us from 😔
This'll be the next game the FOP rally's against in place of GTA.
Shots fired! Shots fired! (Mag dumps into apartment building)
I love that we all know which cop you're talking about.
I hope he never lives that down, what a [dangerous] goober

Under rated comment.
Maybe, but the fan base is rabid about it.
Surely this is the absolute pinnacle of gaming. The mountain has been climbed. It is only downhill from here.
Of course there's no mouse controls... 'cause... squirrel... ;)
Dang beat me to it

We got modern day Conker before GTA 6
I call is Conker's Wild World
totally!
Conker: The World
The thumbnail is brilliant
I don't know what the hell I just spent the last 32 minutes watching, but I loved it! Thank you!
Can confirm. Every base I was stationed at had a lava training room.
This game is like if Goat Simulator and Postal 2 had a baby.

Long as they're on your side, and you feed them, should be ok.... Maybe

I think it goes back and forth 😏
No that would make it a Flip Flop@@richiebee33
asset flops are those survival/apocaliptic/whatever games we all see all aroud steam, that take forever to not be done
I think flip-flop are the same pair of shoes on either side.

Raccoons would be good candidate
@@Slick9600 fkn scary idea. Love it.
rat with a rifle
Silly would be a better word to describe it than stupid
I've waited for this game for a long time. It just seems like fun. No other premises, just a weird concept and a cute squirrel. The only thing better would have been a raccoon.
Wait for some mods ;-)
and there's the sequel right there
there is an asset flip called Wanted Raccoon, but there's a lot of jank to look through.

Finally, the hero we deserve.
Still better than super bowtie-man.

Squirrel: Acorn?
Squirrel with an eye patch: Kept you waiting, huh?
This game looks suprisingly entertaining
this is hilariously absurd! I love it!
Landmine-guy's house
Splat: "Oh, there's landmines!?"
lol... facepalm moment
More cinematic than every MCU movies combined!
"A 1911 has a little more recoil than a squirrel can handle" a brand new sentence.
Sadly, the gun was not a 1911 but a browning hi-power.
As someone who lives near wild and legally armed Canadian Grey squirrels, I can confirm the authenticity of this game :p
If YOU don't keep your acorns in a lava-safe vault, I don't know how you can call them secure.
You know ?

I absolutely stoked you are covering this. Popcorn time!
THANKS SPLATT!!
This is in no way an asset "flop" or "flip". This is 99% custom. Any environment assets available on an asset store are pretty inconsequential.
Saw a 10 sec video presentation of this game. Absolutely worth the fun
What a ludicrous idea for a game but how devilishly cute all the animations are!
Hollywood, please don't make an "adaptation" of this masterpiece.

This game has great speedrun potential, also rip Paul Harrell
😢
Well, thanks for that. Didn't know Paul had died. RIP indeed.
This was delightfully unhinged
Already bought the game the night before and it is so good. If anyone wants to feel what quality platforming was like in the early 2000s this is it
That’s a Browning Hi-Power. What an obscure choice of gun. Kind of random.
It’s substantially smaller than a 1911 so maybe they chose it because a 1911 would be too big for a squirrel while the Hi-Power makes more sense🤓😂
Glad I’m not the only one that noticed 😉 although the game is only giving it an 8 rd capacity. Maybe it’s a version adopted by Elbonia?
You could say... that this game is... Nuts!
"flavortown gilding" hahaha
I loved the reference to the giant miniature space hamster!
I've had this game on my wishlist for months and months now, and this is how I find out that it's finally released. 😱
This is the Conker 2 we always wanted...
Things like this are such fun, little one-offs. Why I come back here daily.
Underrated game. Going Gobl- I mean, Squirrel Mode
17:00 He's a member of the Mariachi Men, a subset of the Secret Service.
I once went to the park and in front of my parking spot was a squirrel sitting and munching on a perfectly opened sneakers bar. I barely escaped with my life.
I came back another time and a squirrel was in the same spot with a slice of pizza. lol. They walk among us
I have heard of a "Asset flip" but never heard of a "asset flop" 😂
literal freedom seeds. legend.
23:19 NOOOO STOP! YOU HAVE TO HIT THOSE TARGETS
'The recoil on a 1911 is a little much for a squirrel to handle.' 🤣 There's a sentence I never thought I'd hear.
First boss has the sickest sound track! 🔥🔥🔥
They better give me A Red Panda with a Gun next
This reminds me of those animations of the dinosaurs doing ninja moves with busterswords.
Dude, you are a gift, and this was one of your best! Never stop not taking yourself seriously. It's what makes you wonderful.
all you need is some ice cream, twizzlers and some potato chips and all is right with the world.
24:00 you robbing those people... sounds like you REALLY know what to say and how to do it.
Finally, revenge of the squirrels!
You're really gonna blue ball us with the cooking hamburger task?! Lol

Asset Chip.... and Dale

Pretty sure this is the highest fidelity game I’ve seen splat play
Three days before I saw the trailer for this game the words "rats with Glocks" popped into my head right as I was going to sleep.
Kid you not
What a fun game to watch and it’s probably just as fun to play!
I never knew I wanted to play a game, as a squirrel with a gun, before.
Minsc and Boo, i haven't heard those names sense like 1999, I don't remember when balders gate came out. But I'll remember those names forever.
Agent that immediately trips and falls must be a Secret Security agent.
The golden acorns with the names underneath when you collect them give me a super Mario Odyssey vibe
Definitely worth a wishlist for whenever it has a sale
Those agents must be Secret Service...
Great thumbnail ngl
"Fuzzy Intifada" - gold!
The devs had me at squirrel.
4:40 There was that cop that fell to the ground, cried out that he had been shot, and mag dumped into his squad car after an acorn landed on the roof of his squad car.
Hilarious game!! When the squirrel flies back from the recoil it's lmao😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉
LoL, great Metal Gear Solid reference in the middle of the video.

The first mod will of course be full blood and gore
I saw this game yesterday had just released! My fiancée is a huge fan of squirrels and this will have to be a game that I get her hooked on!
Looks a lot more like a Browning Hi-Power than a 1911.
Bought the game after watching this video. A few hours in, it's old school fun with a modern twist!
This game would have absolutely killed it in the early 2000s
I wish it was a bit cheaper, this is absolutely something id gift my friends for shits and gigs
at 7:00 - While yes, the recoil on a 1911 is probably too much for a squirrel, this is actually a Browning Hi-Power in 9mm, so it's probably better.
"There is a brick?!"
The excitement
Hahaha! "I gotta keep this pipe spittin" 😂
Finally, Squirrel from Madagascar got his own title :)
Destined to become a classic.
Got that Goat Simulator feel.
I was just about to write the same...
You know someone is American when he know what gun the squirrel is holding :)
Can’t wait to see this speedran at AGDQ.
Asset "flip"
It's not rack-tap-bang. It's "tap- rack- bang" and it's not used for a regular reload. It's used during a malfunction while engaging a target. You "tap" hit/push up the magazine to seat it fully, then "rack" (pull back) the slide or charging handle to eject the malfunctioning round and simultaneously reload a new round, then "bang" pull the trigger. Just some knowledge. Great review tho!
I followed the development of this game on Twitter. I remember the day the idea popped off and the creator was given no choice but to keep going.
I love that this game outsold Concord 😂
This is not a game I would ever play, but I could see myself watching the heck out of someone else playing.
