In 20 levels full of deathtraps and brain melting riddles your little squirrel has to find secret document pages and the way to the next level … great game, best level design i have seen in ages – but it´s for the hardcore crowd. While beeing fair all the time, the riddles are very tough. You really should have a look at this one!
