As Risoo defeats wave after wave of ill-mannered squirrels, he moves up the tree on his way to the top.

Lovely artwork, sublime style, and stimulating yet relaxing soundtrack. It’s the kind of title that makes me hopeful for the future of igaming.

It’s a great looking game that you’ll want to show off to folks on the fence about buying an iDevice.

Pros and cons of Nut Chuckin' app for iPhone and iPad

Nut Chuckin' app good for

This is by far the best app Ive paid far at the app store. This game is fun, addicting and challenging! Great job! Lets go Nut Chuckin!!!!
First of all fantastic job done with the grafix and artwork. I m still in disbelief that what i saw in the iTunes description is what is actually ingame grafix. A really good combination of gorgeous 2D backgronds and even better 3D animated characters which look like something straight from a disney movie. Just one area I found here which could use some improvements IMO, catching the acorn is a bit on the harder side right now. If the devs can improve that and add difficulty levels, then it`ll be perfect 5 stars for me. But having said that this is no doubts one of the best looking games in appstore and gameplay too is unique, addictive, and easy to pick n play. Highly recommended to anyone and everyone out there as long as you like what you see in the screenshots here. Well worth the 3$ price tag and may be a bit more IMHO. :)
ah wow, what a cute game. I love Risoo, the intro/instruction video is awesome, had me laughing on the floor. Some really great animations there dev Those little bad guys got me a few times LOL, I love the sqeak they make when then fall, very satisfying. Now theyre peeking out from behind the tree.. sneaky little... OMG, theres a boss bad squirrel!! What an awesome game, love it immensely. Trying to take out the boss on level 1 stage 4. Sounds are great, vibrations when he jumps on the branches are excellent. This is a very fun fun game. The graphic style is a nice departure from the norm. Okay, I figured a trick and got the boss. :) Theres the following to add some challenge and reply value to the game: score, par time, your time, time bonus, unharmed bonus. The website states that more levels are in the works... YEH! Cant wait. Sorry if this was a little non structured, was writing as I was playing.
I really like this game!!! The animations are incredible. I am so impressed by the looks of this game! I like how the bad squirrels will sometimes do this kind of dance move at the beginning of the stage when they first come out. It seems like a taunting move. Makes you want to hit them more :)! The only problem I had is the same one that has already been addressed - the difficulty in catching the nuts. The developer is fixing this in an update. The boss (a much larger squirrel that takes extra hits to knock down) is also very well done in this game. Included in the animation is also vibration. Everytime the boss jumps it vibrates the phone to simulate your branch shaking. Really shows how much effort the developers put into this game. Very polished. This game seriously looks like a Disney or Pixar movie! If youre on the fence about this game because of the difficulty level, I would recommend getting it! It is fun (most important quality in a game) and incredible looking. The developer is addressing the problems in an update which make this a 5 star game! Awesome developer support! The cost is seriously low considering what you are getting!
Just managed to play few level last night. First impression of the game is outch! poor squirrel :) It something different compare to other game, two thumbs up for the developer. I like the clean graphic of the characters as well as its background, and I must say the tree trunks and branches are brilliantly animated, look really real and smooth. OK here are my few feedbacks 1. It would be fun if I (brown squirrel) can jump like the bad guys 2. Instead of tapping the nut at close range, is it possible just to tap the nut while in mid air and lock it? 3. The levels are always up, is there anyway I can go side-way? 4. Why I always at the lower branch? best if sometime in the middle or on top of the branch. 5. Add some character to me, other bad squirrels seem to have that. Other then that, I think this game is brilliantly craft in term of originality, creative and awesome art work, keep it up.
wow, presentation is really wonderful! Intro movie, graphics style, animations, it is really great stuff and I would really like to see some kind of adventure or puzzle game from you, because prezentation is really artistic. Shame I cant say the same about gameplay right now. I am currently stucked in lvl2 - stage 4, and game is getting frustrating and stereotype - this is going to be changed in next update from what I heard. as for suggestions - it would be great to have our Risoo performing some special moves, like dodging or jumping, maybe have some power-ups that would add some spark into gameplay. There is definitely great potential, and as I said, presentation is really big wow, but gameplay is lacking/current price is little bit high at this moment... which may change in few updates... I would rate current version 3,5 stars just because of presentation and style

Some bad moments

Great graphics, cute characters, but soooo boring. It would be great if they added different kinds of acorns that had different results on impact etc. It needs more rewards, and variety. Has great potential, but lacking at the moment. I hope to see updates.
Gameplay is a bit boring and tiresome. Stage 4 is super annoying and ended up making me lose interest. Graphics are great though and I think there is potential for a good game.
After the initial cuteness wears off, the game is pretty frustrating. Why cant risoo have more capabilities like his enemy squirrels? And why cant he find his own acorns? It is a very pretty game, but otherwise only so so.
Please dont waste your money on this game. The gameplay is completely redundant and gets boring after a few minutes. The controls are also terribly frustrating, even with the new update.
Game has not been updated for far too long. Only 3 levels soon mastered.
