Took me a bit to get it running on my computer, but that's to be expected when running on as junky of a pc as mine. >.>

Once I got it working the game was extremely fun, and the graphics were absolutely amazing. I see a lot of potential in this!

Game is pretty good from what I played of it, with the time put in I think its pretty sweet.

Few bugs I encountered I am sure will get fixed:
1. Clicking on Start makes it where it wants to edit the button (click the outside to go ahead and start game)
2. Turning corners can be rough unless you actually turn right in middle of the turn

Pros of this game:
Fun sound effects when you collect the nuts
Awesome dying effect when you run into something

Cons of this game:
Can use some music
little simple (Great game for children)

All in all I say try the game its worth it. Cant wait to see new stuff implemented like other ways to die and an actual use for the jump feature. Keep up the good work and dont stop making games.

I can see it being a really awesome game once it has more added to it. I love these types of games.

It reminded me of that "jungle run" or something game on android. Good effort for your first unreal game!
Although I had noticed you don't turn around corners unless you press A/D while you're at a corner, I think it could be improved to detect if you're already pressing the correct directional key and turn appropriately.

Also, the "hurray" sound, is that from halo 3? It sounds so similar to the grunt birthday party sound.

A bit on the buggy side. Pretty good graphics. Maybe better audio next time?

Either the squirrel could be faster or obstacles should appear more frequently but this was a pretty fun entry. I loved the shading for the squirrel model plus I found it quite amusing when it crashes into the console and bursts into confetti.

Very nice graphics. (:

It's sad that (after some time) just turned into a black screen and started an overuse of my processor. Maybe a little bug. :D
