Cyber Squirrel Bros. is a 2D run-and-gun platformer inspired by classic retro games from the NES era such as Mega Man 3, Super Mario and more.

It is the debut work of Twin Line Gaming Corp; a studio founded by autistic solo indie game developer, artist and longtime video game fan: Johnny Linares.


Story

Chipper & Bucky concept art, drawn by Johnny!

The Squirrel Bros. came to the Cyberwood Kingdom to escape the clutches of the evil coyote tyrant King Shayde and his Kanian army that invaded their home planet Squirrolina.


 Now, Shayde invades the Cyberwood Kingdom and put innocent inhabitants in grave danger. Chipper and Bucky, knowing the grave danger this planet is in, ask Professor Fursworth to help save the world. His granddaughter, Gigi, and her sister, Wendi, want to help as well. And so, Fursworth decides to convert the Squirrel Bros, Gigi, and Wendi into super-cybernetic heroes of unimaginable potential. With Finger Shooters equipped, the Cyber Squirrel Bros. are born. They now set out to defeat the evil coyote oppressor and put an end to his sinister scheme for world domination!

 Help the Squirrel Bros. and Sisters fight hordes of renegade desert dogs and other baddies, dodge obstacles, make a leap, splash through the water in an underground maze, and grab weapon power ups to give them an advantage against Shayde and his minions that occupy each area throughout the kingdom. Be sure to hit checkpoints along the way!


Meet The Playable Cast!

  • Chipper – The cybernetic anthropomorphic red squirrel who is the oldest of the two squirrel brothers. After he and his brother came to the Cyberwood Kingdom from Squirrolina to escape from the Kanian soldiers, he wants to help save the world from the evil Kanian forces. He wields a red finger shooter projectile.
  • Bucky – Chipper’s younger brother. He too wants to save the Cyberwood Kingdom from the evil King Shayde and his Kanian army. He is good at helping Chipper, although he acts like a coward. His fur color and nose shape are very different from his older yet shorter brother, and he wields a green finger shooter projectile instead of red.
  • Gigi – Chipper and Bucky’s friend and ally who also wants to help the Squirrel Bros. save the world from the threat of the Kanian forces. Even though she is young and inexperienced, she looks up to Chipper and Bucky as her older brothers in the time of need. She wields a pink finger shooter projectile.
  • Wendi – Gigi’s little sister, and the Squirrel Bros. friend and ally who also wants to come along with Gigi and her friends to save the world from the evil threat of the Kanian soldiers. She is very good at helping her big sister. She wields a yellow finger shooter projectile.

How To Play!

The Cyberwood Kingdom is made up of ten levels, and each level ends with a boss battle with one of King Shayde’s minions that occupy the area. In order to complete a level, you must defeat (or evade) the Kanian soldiers and other foes you’ll encounter, avoid obstacles, and face that minion at the end. There are checkpoints that appeared in each level along the way. Once the boss is defeated, a glowing orb appears for you to touch, and then you’ll have a Level Completed screen where you’ll have the option of either retrying the level you completed or move on to the next.

 At the start of each level, you’ll shoot enemies with colored Finger Shooter projectiles by default with an attack damage of 1, but that doesn’t mean you can use them all the time. There are weapon power ups that scatter throughout the Kingdom. There are twelve of them and when you grab that weapon power up, not only you’ll get that new weapon projectile, but you’ll also change your appearance as well depending on that weapon power up you got.

 At the game start, you’ll have five lives with zero acorns collected. Once you lose all five, you’ll have a Game Over screen, and you have the option of either retry or quit to main menu. There are a number of ways to gain an extra life:

  • Collect 500 acorns, 
  • Get 50,000 points, or  
  • Grab an Extra Life Pickup 

And if you ever get lost or have any questions, you can check out the game's official Guide Book that comes included! All written by Johnny himself!
