About Hungry Squirrel
Hungry Squirrel stars a squirrel with one thing on its mind: nuts. It runs around in circles gathering them, jumping and gliding through the trees, and every nut adds to the score. The catch is that the squirrel keeps getting faster the longer a run lasts, so the same loop that felt easy at the start soon turns frantic.
Pesky birds are the main hazard, and obstacles can make the squirrel fall or crash into a wall, which brings the run to an end. Going fast is presented as an advantage rather than a problem: higher speed makes the game easier to handle and leads to bigger scores. Keeping an eye on the map helps you plan where to jump next. The screen is portrait, made for a phone held upright.

How to play Hungry Squirrel
Objective
Gather as many nuts as possible while the squirrel runs in circles, jump and glide through the trees, and avoid birds and obstacles as your speed keeps rising.
Getting started
- Hold the phone upright, since the game uses a portrait screen on phones and computers.
- Keep an eye on the map from the first second, planning where the squirrel should jump next.
- Jump and glide through the trees to reach nuts, collecting as many as possible on each lap.
- Watch out for the pesky birds and any obstacle that could make the squirrel fall or hit a wall.
Tips
- Speed is on your side here; the game is easier to handle at a fast pace, so do not try to hold the squirrel back.
- The squirrel gets faster the longer you last, so use the calmer early laps to build up a healthy nut count.
- Check the map before each jump, because knowing what lies ahead is the best defense against birds and walls at high speed.

Speed rises the longer you play, which is part of the challenge. Going fast is also meant to make the game easier and lead to higher scores, so keeping up with the pace is the way to improve.
What ends a run in Hungry Squirrel?
Running into obstacles that make the squirrel fall or hit a wall, and the pesky birds are another danger to avoid. Until that happens, you keep collecting nuts to raise your score.
Can you play Hungry Squirrel on a computer?
Yes. It runs on desktop computers as well as on phones, though its upright portrait layout makes a phone held vertically the most natural fit for the squirrel's circuits.
