Acorns for Winter

Acorns for Winter is a top-down, not-so-cozy survival game about a squirrel preparing for winter.

Fight hunger, thirst, and cold while collecting acorns to stash in your tree before winter falls.

Trade with the locals and discover secret shortcuts while exploring a small woodland peninsula.

1.0.0 developed in a weekend for Micro Jam 037
