Find My Acorns

Game Idea

for Husky Game Development

“Find My Acorns”

My idea for a game is simple. It’s a spin off the traditional hide and seek game, popular for young children. Meet _____, a squirrel that users can name themselves. During the fall, he went around the forest, hiding his nuts to prepare for the winter. However, due to an accident involving a fallen tree limb during a windy day, the squirrel cannot remember where he hid his nuts. The user must control the squirrel, jumping from tree to tree, scurrying from bush to bush, stone to stone, searching for the hidden nuts before the winter comes, and time runs out.

But the user must beware, this is no normal forest. The evil woodpeckers of the forests have placed booby traps in the trees. Some of their pecked trees have been transformed into transports, black holes which take the squirrel to the other end of the forest. If the squirrel can remember which trees lead where, it could be a great advantage. However, if the squirrel cannot remember which trees lead where, he could be left dazed and disoriented.

The evil woodpeckers are not the only foes of the squirrel, fighting to prepare for the cold, harsh winter ahead. There are many wind storms, dropping tree limbs which the squirrel must dodge at every turn. Not only the limbs have been affected; the leaves have been falling at a rapid rate, creating a hazy storm which the squirrel cannot easily see through. This little squirrel must fight against all odds to find his hidden acorns – all before time runs out.
