Minor update to the source code release so it builds properly. No changes to the game itself, only the build system and README.

Took a while to figure out how it worked, but once you do it's pretty cool and innovative. Nice graphics.
Also, I managed to get the game into an infinite loop once and had to kill -9 it :P
Couldn't reproduce it though.

Feels just a little too fast paced, but it is enjoyable.

Could probably use some more instructions in-game.

I fixed a minor bug that caused some off screen squirrels to not despawn. That may have caused the lockup. (But I've got no evidence either way.) There shouldn't have been any change to the visible game behavior. (I also didn't update the source yet...)

In game instructions was one of the planned features that didn't get finished in time. (There were several...)
