Everyone knows that squirrels are super cool... until you mess with their nuts. Take heed, scary bees and skeletons! This squirrel IS NOT joking around. Stop being so squirrelly and get to defending!

Gameplay
The gameplay of Defend Your Nuts is truly amazing. The game consists of three difficulty levels: Easy, Medium, and Hard. This game is so fun I had a blast. The game is called Defend Your Nuts and this exactly what you need to do. The main character is a squirrel and you are the controlling him. Help him defend his nuts from predators. There are several that I have encountered each round. Here are some, bunnies, giants, bees, skeletons that are dressed differently each time, and giant mosquitos. They are all after your nuts. There are several weapons to choose from. You can use your bow that is given to you or different types of guns. Collect coins after killing your enemies to buy upgrades such as better guns, fence, bombs, and bullets. Try to hit your enemies in the head to finish them off. You only have 3 nuts and if your enemies take them, then it is game over. This game is very fun and interesting.

Graphics
The graphics in this game is not really childish and cartoony. The graphics of this game would not affect the gameplay of this. The setting is so beautiful. Everything goes well together. The squirrel stands on a branch and his tail is shiny maybe because of the sun shining. I love how the branches have different shades of brown on them to make it look like a light is reflecting off of them. Same goes for the giant rocks. The actual look of the games interface is done very nicely, on the starting page; you see a nice background that has nuts on tree branches and blue clouds. Everything on this game runs really smooth, the animations are silly and don't lag one bit. I really how everything on this runs smooth with no lag and see the different things that happen to each enemy. Overall it looks good and the graphics dont really bother the gameplay of this game.

Controls
The controls of Defend Your Nuts is are somewhat easy. All players need to do is just hold down the mouse to shoot the arrow so it goes farther. When you have multiple weapons, use the 1-4 number keys to switch weapons. You can aim wherever you want by moving the mouse up and down. A fully charged bow shoots farther. Upgrade your bow to shoot multiple arrows. This can really help because each round more enemies appear. You can also upgrade your fences and guns. A great tip would be to aim at their heads because there health is lowered a lot. The game is just like that pretty much with everything else. I really enjoy the game and with these controls it makes it really easy to play. Overall the controls of this game are just plain out simple which always makes things fun.
