Squirrel With A Gun's PC release has been commemorated by a day-long stream of real life squirrels doing squirrel things in someone's garden

Squirrel with a Gun

Squirrel, meet gun. As the neighborhood’s most obnoxious rodent, develop a knack (and a love?) for crime and mayhem in pursuit of golden acorns in this nutty sandbox shooter and puzzle platformer. Fight tooth, claw, and gun to escape a secret underground facility and defeat the Agents.

Squirrel with a Gun, that game about squirrels with guns, releases on PC today, August 29, and its developers have decided to commemorate this by allowing its Steam page to play host to a day-long livestream or real squirrels mucking about. As of wrioting, it's still going, and it's pretty cool.

If you're out of the loop, Squirrel With A Gun has gone from ">a thing that just made for fun Twitter videos a few years ago to a thing that's now actually coming out on PC and console, and it's about exactly what you'd have expected, as well as some platforming you might not have.

To celebrate this being the day the game unlocks on Steam and the Epic Store, its developers have elected to throw a livestreamed party for some actual squirrels, with help from a Youtube channel called, Backyard Buddies, which basically looks like it's doing the whole Springwatch thing of letting you watch animals just live their lives. Yep, call your aunt and uncle who own 15 million birdfeeders and take in hedgehogs, the games are catering to them now.
