Game of the year
Saying that right after playing black myth wukong says a lot about the 3A game industry.
This has more players than concord and dustborn
Can we expect more Squirrel content mr Daniel tumble games?
You’re [UA-cam] Right!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥💀💀💀💀❤️❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯💯😂😂😂🗿🗿🗿
RTgame of the year
I love how the squirrel is super well rendered but has the wrong amount of fingers
He grew extras for a good grip.
He's built different.
AI generated model?
@@icantchooseanic2729 can ai even create 3d models
There are methods to create 3D models. I know of an AI that can do 3D stuff with points
I was following the developer of this game on Twitter for a while. He spent a very long time hard at work to make the squirrel model as high definition as possible, using some of the most expensive 3D modeling and animation tools around. More than half of what i heard about this game's development leading up to release was just the insane amount of effort it took to get all the animations right. I have mad respect for this man who worked this hard to make a funny game about squirrel. This game is a blessing to humanity, and every hour of the dev's work has been worth it.
Out of curiosity was he like the Stray devs and gave a squirrel a gun to see how they behave?
@@blazingunicorn4035there used to be two Devs. Now the one dev has the execution animation
That tracks given how good the running animation is. It's so authentic. If the squirrel wasn't so floaty (understandable because it's good for running and the player), I could imagine it to be an actual squirrel. I love the game at minimum for this reason alone
They deserve massive acclaim this is some of the best original design I've seen in a long while.
legit i remember seeing their posts now and then and it made the moment where RT called out that one chatter for calling the game "Asset flip streamer bait" so fucking satisfying cause holy shit that was so rude
I love how the graphics are so good and then you just have "AW, NUTS" in Impact font. Really gives the Goat Simulator feel
IT DOES
i mean thats out of the box standard unreal engine 4 graphics yeah
that is NOT impact
@@dazza2350im SORRY i THOUGHT it was
@@toreoleyou're actually wrong, the dev learned 3d modelling just to make the squirrel as high definition as possible
this is the sequel to the cinematic masterpiece that is G-Force (2009)
I was literally thinking the same thing lmao
No its clearly a sequel to classic animation Over the Hedge (2006)
This squirrel is clearly scratt's descendant.
It feels like an eternity since 2009. Now I’m Sadge
No, it's a sequel to secret squirrel does no one remember that show?
Fellas, if your pet Squirrel has been created and trapped inside a top-secret military facility, can use a gun and can drive a motor vehicle while looking cool and edgy at the same time, then that’s not Squirrel with a Gun… *that’s Shadow the Hedgehog*
*intro music slowly fades in*
I made the joke of this squirrel being shadows accomplice
Does he have a very distinct fondness or maybe even attraction to females from Latin America?
Might be shadow
@@john_etc he just loves latinas sonic
God I wish we would get a remaster of that game it would go so fucking hard today imo
Acording to an xkcd comic, a squirel holding the trigger of an ak47 is lightweight enough to produce a constant upward force from recoil. Meaning a squirl can fly with an ak47z
conclusion: squirrel with a gun (2024) is somewhat scientifcally accurate
I am now afraid for my life
woah i love xkcd
I think it's what if or how to
Somewhat is indeed the word to use here@@sleepdeprivedcactus
“Most graphically intense squirrel game I’ve ever played” implies you’ve played other squirrel games
Squirrel stapler?
Squirrel Stapler!
@@doommaker4000GOD IS HERE
Since two people already threw squirrel stapler, lemme mention The Repairing Mantis as another game focused on squirrels. Flying squirrels, to be precise.
The ice age game also had scrat
Imagine justifying using a tank against a squirrel. Imagine filling the report when the guy with the tank looses to the squirrel.
I think the answer to both of those things would be the same.
"Well... You see, the squirrel has a gun."
Imagine being the guy who lost his gun to a squirrel and then shot with his own gun.
I can’t think of a much more humiliating death.
@@Death2all546 There is the part where Squirrel redirects Father's missile back at him.
@@CaveyMoth atleast that sounds more impressive. Which would you prefer on a tombstone?
“Had his missile redirected back at him by a squirrel”
Or
“Shot with his own gun by a squirrel”
If a squirrel can snap necks, i would be scared shitless
The chances are low,but it's not zero.
Don't let your guard down. My mate Paul once got knocked down by a canadian squirrel.
Clearly you’ve never been In a London park
I once read about a guy who made a bird feeder hat but a squirrel jumped on it and the added weight broke his neck
What do you mean if?
Goat simulator walked so squirrel could gun
Ironically its also awesome time to release officially because goat simulator remaster was announced recently
This game looks leagues better than goat simulator though.
@@dinodare1605 Goat Sim is 10 years old... and is made in Unity iirc while this is just default UE4 graphics.
@@kirby1225
I meant as a game, not in terms of graphic. I don't want to start an argument over it after how toxic CallMeKevin's fans got from this take, but I really didn't have fun with Goat Sim, while I think that this game appears very fun
That's all I meant.
@@dinodare1605 objectively speaking, goat sim is not a very good game, all it's appeal comes from the humor so it's totally understandable you wouldn't like it, everyone has a different idea of what is/isn't funny
I was expecting for the Squirrel from "Squirrel with a Gun" to have a gun, but I was not expecting it to have The World

Made in heaven
The dev for this was so fun! He was constantly posting his dev journey. Testing physics, movement, mechanics. It was like watching a child see the magic in a medium they control for the first time.
Truly just something fun for funs sake, and that makes it so special.
My favorite tidbit is that squirrels literally can't take fall damage. The height that can kill a squirrel is actually the height it'd take to have the squirrel starve to death
that's so existential, thank you
So what you’re saying is, any height can kill a squirrel if the squirrel is hungry enough.
I'm pretty sure that the height that would kill a squirrel would have to do with temperature or air quality rather than starving to death, haha.
@@nyanSynxPHOENIXSomeone got a squirrel and a 20 story tall vacuum tube left over for an experiment?
In real world, actual squirrels can get shot in a tree, fall two hundred feet to the ground and bound up and run away like they were built by SkyNet. My friend and his dad told me stories of hunting them and squirrels are pretty tough. The Fox squirrels i think he was talking about, the largest squirrel species.
When the squirrel's had enough of UA-camrs setting up intricate mazes for a few nuts.
Fat/Pregnant Gus is coming for Mark Rober
"Im done with the obstacle course food dispensers humans!!!
Just put all the nuts , sunflower seeds and raisins in the bag and hand it over slowly and not everybody gets hurt... "
I just saw this game while looking through Steam yesterday and all I'll say is
Actual Masterpiece of a game, peak gameplay, best thing I've ever seen
cant wait for a DLC where you fight off against son and daughter, children of mother and father
no, no - *grand*mother and grandfather!
uncle and aunt? father in law?
Brother and sister? Cousin perhaps?
son in his mech, daughter in a boat with a gatling gun, grandma in a steam roller, grandpa in a tractor, aunt in a lawnmower (one of this really big ones), uncle in a jet plane, brother in a bulldozer, sister in a armoured car, a horde of cousins piloting a B-52 Bomber lined with rocket launchers and machine guns and finally the family reunion where everyone is piloting a giant mecha squirrel controlled by Great Grandfather's brain
@@sarafontanini7051 I love the way you think.
Intense gunfight between a man and a squirrel. Absolutely incredible.
this is actually insane.. never would i have imagined in my lifetime that there’d be a game about being a squirrel with a gun.
Rare did it back with N64
This does seem like something fron the "olden days" of gaming's beginings.
But modern
The Mobster hat and trench coat plus the special walk are references to an old cartoon character called secret squirrel on Cartoon Network. As you’d expect, he was a James Bond style spy with a bunch of gadgets in the coat.
I loved that cartoon!
I’m glad someone else caught that reference. The iconic trench coat and purple fedora combo was such a nice touch
31:07 I love splatoon twitter because when the grand fest first came out and people were talking about the outfits, I saw someone say “They flew the mother plane into the world serve center and hit the cuntagon” and I will never recover from it
WHAT
@@CupcakeSweet384 If you're actually confused it's a 9/11 joke about a plane hitting the World Trade Centre and pentagon
@@Lucy-uu7bb and a running gag about folks describing how someone's fashion/aura slays in severely "expressive" ways
ate and left no crumbs
some of my personal favorite has to be
"shredded some motherella on a slayizza and served it in a warm cuntainer",
"caused a motherquake in Slaytropolis, measuring 9.9 on the cunter scale",
and of course "graduated from the university of servington with a masters degree in cuntology and a concentration in motherlogical studies"
idk if I've seen those for Splatoon specifically but I've seen those before
"The windows to this house aren't here, for some reason" -RT, seconds after excessively bullet jumping
Can we appreciate how quickly and well Cloé edited this together
Scrat from Ice Age has had enough
Probably why Blue sky got shut down, Disney is just the puppet
i once saw this game through a dev's joke tweet and went "this is a funny game concept".
And lord behold, the dev actually went in and actually made the concept into reality! What a time to be alive.
This is so much effort for a game about a squirrel with a gun.
oh my god does that squirrel have a gun
oh my god I think so 😨
Oh my god yes
its not just a gun thats a M1911 if im not wrong
@@uncannycatoBrowning Hi-power
Eh dont worry, there's no way he could do anything wi.......OH GOD OH GOOOOOOOOOOODDD
the intro song gives intense I expect you to die vibes
Honestly, I figured it was from the same developer just based off of the intro cinematic.
Same! That’s what I thought too!!
That's what I thought too, is it not by the same company/ team?
@@Sailor-Khione Seemingly not. Different dev/publisher
the cosmetics and cutscenes give me a "saints row but you're squirrel" feel. never knew I needed this XD
this is what the saints row reboot should've been
I love that the abbreviation for this game is SWAG
Tiny Animal with a comically LARGE GUN
Squirrel with a Gun 2: It’s Nut Over Yet
💀 😤 Saaaaaaaans!!!
This just goes into the category of "properties that take themselves seriously will be ridiculed, but a game that do parody will have a advantage.
37:40 “thats not family friendly enough” Dan they put South Park: the Fractured But Whole in a direct, i don’t think they’re that strict on jokes anymore
Why is there a banger song in a squirrel with a gun game
Multiple banger songs in fact. Surreal
@@HazeEmrymore like…
Squirreal.
YEAHHHHHHH
BANGers
@@nplt8392 I hate you both, keep it up 😂
And why is no one else talking about this music
The music didn't have to go so hard but I'm so glad it did
I unironically listen to the OST when I need motivation lol
Love the Akira slide at 13:32
I didn't even register that until you said it
Literally screamed when it happened
And revolver ocelot revolver spin
I wasn't sure what I was expecting from a game called "Squirrel with a gun", but this is exactly it.
The amount of detail and inspiration that went into this game is unbelievable. From the Sonic Forces inspired level design and credits to the Mario Odyssey Moons and many more incredible game references i believe this game deserves GOTY.
The boss music goes way harder than it has any business going.
Agent Acorn, long time rival of Agent 47, now has a confirmed kill count in the hundred thousands.
I remember seeing the dev post some gameplay on Twitter last year (I think?) just showing off the concept that if I remember correctly, was just something they came up with by messing around with premade assets.
So the fact that this random concept is now a fully fleshed collect-a-thon game with the humor of Goat Simulator and the boss music of Sonic Frontiers Titan fights is just... amazing beyond words.
God, I love video games
I watched the entire VOD and now I'm gonna watch this video
Squirrel With A Gun is a masterpiece
Ok but why is the title not a joke, WHY IS THIS SO GOOD?!
This game is like the goat simulator of 2024, just some random ass idea that someone made into a game and it ended up being fun.
Best time to release people just saw the goat simulator remaster being announced
A Squirrel with a Gun and Goat Simulator collaboration sounds awesome!
Goat simulator tricked people into thinking it was fun because entertaining UA-cam personalities made it that way, and then it cultivated a community that was so toxic that they flipped out on any content creator that gave it a negative review. This game actually looks good.
Just from the opening, this is gonna be a wild ride.
Also the thumbnail goes hard
This is the only game I’ve seen that considers recoil. Fascinating
Plenty of games have recoil, this is just one of the funniest examples
to be fair, not a lot of games where you play a character who's light enough to use an AK47 as a jetpack
The long scream at the intro for the Father fight is unhinged lmao
1:17 Fulfill your destiny, little squirrel.
“Why do the football players have guns?”
Dan, it’s America
Should be obvious, but some of the dress pieces are likely references to other famous squirrels, such as Slappy's bowler hat with the flower and Secret Squirrel's trench coat and purple hat.
1. This game looks like an out of control train to chaos and I love it!!
2. Boss music slaps...like the dev did NOT need to go THAT hard, but I am thankful for it cause dayum son!
32:35 wild to see a Secret Squirrel and Morocco Mole reference
YO wild to see other people got it too! hahaha
Our favorite old school rodents 🤭
Was looking for this comment!
That intro sequence implies that the squirrel hasn't been eating acorns this whole time, but rather millions of dollars worth of CIA technology.
Glorious.
that is why the squirrel can properly handle and fire human weaponry. the CIA technology boosts the brain. mkultra shit or something.
It's been storing them all on its cheeks mind you, all of them triple their size, if i were to put my hand in there i would find my other sock.
Goat simulator goat: *sees squirrel with a gun* “Our battle will be truly legendary!”
25:41 Mother is apparently a Metal Gear Ray
I noticed that too!
RULES OF NATURE
What the have a Metal Gear here?
3:45 Never thought I'd see jetpack joy squirrel again
What a brilliant game. You can tell the creator loved making it -- they pushed everything to 11 and it turns out fantastic!
13:33 did that squirrel just Akira slide that toy car?!?
awesome.
4:19 The kids were playing "The floor is lava" and it got out of hand methinks
Imagine losing your child to a hit and run only for it to be a squirrel responsible
This game has a real PS2 game energy that's been missing for like 10 years
the goat vs the squirrel would be a good crossover game.
Imagine they just team up 😂
You also have the DEEEER...
@@lianaverwood9810 oh yeah that's true, we can have a The Good, the Bad and the Ugly situation
@@WeegeeAnimations that would be scary 🤣
Also known as Squirrel Stapler 2: Insert overlydramatic subtitle here- The Game

I just realized... with the Fedora and Trenchcoat? HE'S SPECIAL AGENT SECRET SQUIRREL! The old Hanna-Barbarra Cartoon!
That's what I was thinking. Maybe he's taking revenge because he was forgotten.
I miss that show 💞
I imagine Heckfire isn't to avoid using "Hell" but because there is an actual missile called the Hellfire and you probably need to license the name even if the missile involved isn't actually an AGM-114 (that said, they surprisingly look close).
plus RUle of Funny
This is, unironically, one of the best looking games I've seen in a while. The gameplay reminds me of stuff from the 2000s, or old arcade games.
28:29 the exact moment RTgame learned why they call it a “recoilless rifle”
this feels like a early tony hawk game with a mario odyssey moon thingy and i absolutely love it
Getting some strong Stray vibes from this. I call this the "play as an animal in cyberpunk esque environment" genre
i absolutely love when games like this that have such a funny concept like a squirrel with a gun. But the game put so much effort into it it's great
Barnfinders is a good example >:)
Ah yes, the Browning HI Power, a weapon from a more civilized time. Truly, a good choice for any slapping young lad (or squirrel) looking to fend of any ruffians, rapscallions, and other ne'er do wells.
32:36 I don't blame Dan for missing this, but this outfit combo is a shout-out to _Secret Squirrel_ , a Hannah-Barbara cartoon from the 1960's. The titular Secret Squirrel, aka "Agent 000", would wear a trench coat and purple fedora while parodying James Bond and other classic spy tropes from that era. The funny little walk is also similar to how the Secret Squirrel would walk in the cartoon.
deadass why does SQUIRREL WITH A GUN of all games have a good soundtrack
As soon as I heard the song , I knew it was going to be a great game.
i was actually debating picking up this game. glad to see it’s even higher quality than i could have imagined
this is like if one of those fake mobile game ads was a real game
So that’s why Browning put the grip safety on the 1911 to keep us safe…
*From the Squirrels*
I just realized that the mobster hat and trenchcoat combo is a reference to the old cartoon "Secret Squirrel", which is, of course, about a squirrel who is a secret agent.
I'm having fever right now and everything's confusing and nonsensical, I appreciate you bringing that energy to UA-cam
Cheers, Dan
Absolutely amazing rtgame can Finally live his dreams as a squirrel with a gun
The squirrel doing the Akira slide in a toy car may very well be peak
Peak video games or just peak *vaguely gestures at everything*
"Why do the football players have guns?"
RT, it's *American* Football.
Mark Rober, your days are numbered
Love catching an RTGame video when it has no views! This game was absolutely lovely to watch in the VOD.
An example of a game that completely throws seriousness, a coherent story, and all forms of worldly logic out the window in the name of pure, unfettered gameplay above all else.
i'm 97% sure this game is a stealth parody of shadow the hedgehog and as we know i've never been wrong about anything ever
I assumed it was a goat simulator inspired game with surprisingly good gunplay
I didn't really know what to expect from a game called "Squirrel with a Gun" but I was certainly surprised by the boss music having lyrics and metal screaming ones at that
Its so cinematic at the end with the trenchcoat and hat like "ive worked to hard to fail this case now I WILL UNCOVER THE SECRET OF THE GOLEND ACORNS"
My favorite part about this is that this is just a normal squirrel. All squirrels can do this, if they find a gun
The speedruns for this game will be...nuts.
25:25 *Picks up a Rocket Launcher* RT: “This is an excessive amount of firepower!”
Me: “Looks like a reasonably well-regulated militia to me.”
This a perfectly normal squirrel.
Befitting this perfectly normal squirrel game.
I knew this day would come. Was only a matter of time. I’ve been giving the squirrels in our back yard peanuts for years in hope that they’ll simply have mercy on me and my family and spare us, or the very least save us for last before the inevitably take over the world. It’s been nice knowing you all.
This game really turns the whole 'squirrel' thing upside down 😂 I mean, who knew they had such a wild potential for chaos? Squirrel with a Gun might just start a new genre! Can't wait to see their rival game, 'Raccoon with a Rocket Launcher' next! 🚀🐿️
The mood swings in music between "John Wick" and "Quiet Suburbia"
Goat Simulator Remastered, KingMakers, Squirrel with a gun, Half Sword
Were entering unhinged yet fun game to exist
I don't know if that would be the coolest or scariest day of my life, if a random squirrel shows up carrying a shotgun in my neighborhood.
