game description:
Another classic nintendo game renewed to fit the squirrel family. Use your arrow keys to navigate the squirrel right or left to get treasure from an underwater chest, avoiding the arms on an octopus. this game has a pretty decent graphics as for one of my earlier games I must say. Good music from ThumpMonks added two years after publishing gave a good final touch to this game. Despite it’s a remake, I like this game a lot.
Your opinions:
Auz at NewGrounds.com:
Graphics: These were good, nothing to complain about. I liked the style of the drawings and the colors you used. The background also looked excellent. Sounds/Music: Probably the best thing in this game. I really liked that sound when one of those squirrel guys got eaten, sounded pretty funny. The music in this was also nice, nice beat. It suited the game pretty well. Interactivity: The controls were easy, you just had to use the right and left arrow keys. The menuscreen was decent. The instructions could´ve been a little bit more detailed. You could´ve said that you have to collect coins and bring them back to your boat and that you have to watch out for the octopus. Of course this is all obvious, but just one short line is not enough. I was also thinking, maybe you should add levels. After you got a certain amount of coins, you get to the next level where the tentacles of the octopus move faster etc. Overall 8 out of 10, 4 out of 5. The idea behind this game was simple, but I enjoyed playing it. I think it was pretty hard though, I couldn´t get my score higher then 30. Even when I had a strategy. Sometimes it´s just impossible to escape, but that´s okay. Anyway, I hope to see some more of these kinda games. Keep up the good work.

Shit, I used to play this game back when I was three years old! I never thought I’d see something like it again. True to the original black and white, too. Nice man, damned nice.
