Help Sidney Squirrel gather as many acorns as he can before the long winter sets in.

The acorns are scattered about a large, frozen lake, and as Sidney skids over it, the ice melts so that he cannot cross his own trail. To make matters worse, there are leaves on the lake on which Sidney might slip and kill himself, and he only has three lives.

Sidney has enough energy for one jump, but there is no telling where he might land.

Be careful how you guide Sidney. If he approaches the acorns too quickly, he may lose his chance of picking them up. Beware, too, of sudden nightfall, when Sidney cannot see where he is going or how much time he has left.

In the enhanced version of the game, you will also have to cope with the parkkeeper who is attempting to catch Sidney and make squirrel stew out of him.

The keys you need are Z to go left, X to go right, * to go up, ? to do down. P to pause, R to restart and Space bar to jump.
