Acron: Attack of the Squirrels

Asymmetric multiplayer for a group

Acron: Attack of the Squirrels is an action game built around an uneven team setup. One player takes the role of a powerful tree in VR, while other players use Android devices to control squirrels trying to steal its acorns. The mobile app is best suited to friends sharing a room with access to a compatible VR setup, rather than to someone looking for a standalone phone game.

Different roles, different ways to play

The tree player defends the area with motion-based actions, including grabbing and throwing objects. The squirrel team works together to move around the map, avoid the tree and complete its objective. Squirrel characters have distinct abilities, including speed and tunnelling, so players need to coordinate instead of simply following the same route. The format gives the VR player a direct defensive role while the mobile players focus on movement, timing and teamwork.

Designed for party sessions

A room-code system lets mobile players join the same match, with support for groups of up to eight mobile players according to the supplied game details. That makes the app a companion experience for a local multiplayer session: the main appeal comes from the interaction between the person in VR and the people gathered around them. Its bright presentation and clear objectives also make it easier for new players to understand what they should be doing.

What the numbers show

Listed in the Action category, Acron: Attack of the Squirrels comes from Resolution Games AB. It carries a 4.15 rating from 2,250 ratings and shows 500,000+ installs.
