🐿️ Description

Winter is coming! You are a little squirrel living deep in the woods, racing against the seasons to gather enough food before the snow arrives.
Explore the forest, collect nuts, leaves, and berries, and bring them back to your cozy nest. Each season brings new colors, challenges, and surprises — until the long, cold winter tests your preparation.

Can you hoard enough to survive?

🕹️ Features

🌳 Seasonal Cycle: Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter.

🐾 Platformer Exploration: Run, jump, and dash through hand-drawn forest environments.

🍂 Collect & Craft: Gather resources to upgrade your nest — build baskets, racks, and insulation.

❄️ Survival Challenge: When Winter comes, no more collecting — survive on what you’ve stored!

💾 Local Progress: Your cozy forest life is saved automatically between sessions.

💡 Inspiration

The idea came from the Collector theme — but instead of collecting treasure, you collect what really matters: warmth, food, and comfort.
Forest Hoarder combines the calm of cozy games with the tension of limited time — a tiny woodland survival tale made with love (and too much coffee).
