    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.

    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.

    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.
