Sqrl: The Desktop Squirrel
A downloadable game for Windows
Feeling lonely or bored?
Ever wished for a little virtual companion or pet to be at your side while you work on your digital tasks?
Well look no further! Sqrl is cute little desktop pet who will hang out on your taskbar while you go on with your daily antics.
Sqrl is a passive pet and does not require much attention. He will run around on your taskbar while you go about your business.
Whenever you feel like it, you can drag him around and have some fun!
Be sure to feed him from time to time by right clicking the squirrel.
To get rid of the Sqrl, you must kill it, either by starving him or by dropping him to his death - but only a monster would do that...
Have fun with this cute little desktop squirrel! Be warned though, there are glitches galore - hopefully that won't dissuade you to try it out!

I downloaded this an then it didnt work. after that i tried to delte it but it didnt work.
Hello I love this, I want it beacause i want to get my desktop Goose a friend. But before i download it i want to make sure its not a virus. So I need an Honest reply. Thank you.
i love this so much!! :)
Thanks!
for some weird reason when I unzipped the file there was no sqrl.exe there was only the assets what do i do
Umm thats weird...
Maybe your antivirus is removing it?
Try downloading it again
i did but it still didn't work :(
I am pretty sure the antivirus is the problem. Since this is an exe file that not many have downloaded, the antivirus probably doesnt recognise it, deems it as a virus and removes it.
Oh well... maybe in the future it will work...
guess i will have to wait a bit
I love Sqrl ❤️
Thank you!
Not realistic, squirrels have a low maximum velocity and can't take fall damage...kidding, I like this little thing. Thank you :DDD
True... totally forgot about that 😅
this is amazing
Thanks for downloading!
WOW

I mean its cool but how do I get rid of it.
To get rid of the Sqrl, right click on it and click "Exit." [OLD]

Thank you so much! I was planning to add WAY more features to it but life happened... Maybe in a few months. But thanks anyways for downloading Sqrl!
