Acron: Attack of the Squirrels – Game Review
Acron: Attack of the Squirrels is a game from Resolution Games AB, first launched in 19th December 2018.
It’s rated 9+ and currently has 837+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Acron: Attack of the Squirrels Stand Out
WARNING: This is a highly addictive mobile and VR game that MUST BE INITIATED BY A PLAYER WITH A VR HEADSET (Meta Quest, Pico Neo3, Pico 4, Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, Valve Index or Windows Mixed Reality) and played with at least one person who joins the game on a mobile device (iOS 12.4, iPhone 6 and up).
The golden acorns are under attack! It’s up to you and your friends to protect them or steal them – depending if you are playing on a VR headset to take on the role of an extraordinarily protective tree or as one of several crafty yet thieving squirrels on mobile – in the cross-platform party game, Acron: Attack of the Squirrels!, from Resolution Games.
This hilariously fun experience must be initiated by a player with a VR headset (Meta Quest, Pico Neo3, Pico 4, Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, Valve Index or Windows Mixed Reality) who creates a room. He or she then connects to one to eight frenemies on their phone and/or tablet devices by giving them the assigned room number that they enter into their device when prompted in order to become rebel squirrels that'll do anything to steal the golden acorns using an arsenal of unique abilities.
The game is at its best when played as a couch party game together with a group of friends and is both competitive and cooperative in nature for players across VR and mobile devices. Once in the game, one player in VR takes on the role of a large, ancient tree that tries to knock out the squirrels that are out to steal the nuts by using the controllers to grab and hurl wood chunks, boulders and sticky sap to keep the squirrels at bay. Meanwhile, the band of squirrels (players on mobile) can leverage a myriad of tools and distraction tactics – including the ability to pick up and plant seeds that grow into pumpkin barriers, plant bushes to hide behind, place mushrooms they can use as leaping pads and more – while working together to develop strategies to outsmart the tree in order to scurry around and gather as many acorns as they can.
Meet the band of rebellious squirrels out to steal the golden acorns:
- Zip – quick witted and light-footed; she’s the fastest squirrel and has speed running abilities
- Chunk – the gentle giant with a heart of gold who protects his friends by carrying a shield
- Doug – not the smartest acorn in the bunch, but channels his rage issues to dig tunnels that allow for safe travel underground
- Sim – a crafty little rodent who’s kind of nutty and builds ramps for vertical movement
This game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
This is what our kids and nephews always want to play right now. Some of the mechanics are less than perfect but we think it deserves 5 stars for its overall fun and family friendliness.
Sometimes we joined the game and two hundreds of us springs out like a foubtain and tge game crashes. By sometimes we mean 20 times a night. Whenever this happens to any squirrel, rejoining doesnt fix it. The tree has to quit and create a new room which is a real boomer. Fix it asap pls.
Seriously the bees knees item 9! Super fun game with other players along with you. Didnt have too many glitches but maybe 2. Was still was smooth sailing and addicting! Would like option to turn head view a little better and possibly a way for phone users to communicate.
Ive been playing this with our kids on Quest. Its the the most fun weve had with VR yet! Great party game. Hope they make a single player mode soon.
This is an amazing game. Our kids love it!! Awesome job to the creators.
We loved the game we have a vr and it's the best it works for only newer phones unless you have a semi new phone it will work perfectly. This is our favorite cross platform game ever.
We got Acron today and its mind blowing! There have been games in the past where you play VR and another device, but everyone wants to have the VR, not this. In this its evenly amounts of fun, with you chucking tree balls at squirrels, or building up high in the sky trying to steal acorns. Personally if this game didnt have VR and was just a mobile game it would be fun still, but with VR is taking it to the next level.
This game is a great friends and family game, one thing we would love to see in the future is coins and being able to unlock outfits for the squirrels.
The game is a blast as it is, but there are some definite QOL features very much needed. We need to be able to attenuate the aim assist of the tree, it is way too easy to nail squirrels left and right, this would be great for VR noobs or experienced squirrels VS a new tree, but in an even field the tree has a huge advantage from aim assist. Also needs a way to rejoin a game mid-session in case of the inevitable crash or connection loss.
The game is a lot of fun, and we had no problem with crashes as reported by several. The only problem we had was that it was far too difficult as the squirrels against the tree, and all noted it was too easy playing as the tree. The imbalance resulted in wondering if wed bother playing again. A simple solution is to only require the squirrels to get two acorns, leaving it up to the player to ramp up to 3 or 4. Regardless, a really nice game with solid mechanics – just make the difficult gameplay a little less difficult.
We had three squirrels and the app ran flawlessly. Frame rate was buttery smooth and there didnt appear to be any lag between the phones and the Oculus Quest. It was fun to try the different squirrel powers and come up with strategies. At first the tree seems OP but once the squirrel players make coordinated attacks its anyones game. Buttons are nicely laid out and controls are super simple. We wish more developers made VR games like this! Complaint: we wish there was at least one more level, and one more projectile option for the tree. Maybe a vine whip attack? Also there should be handicap options to help balance the players.
Okay so our friends and we had been anticipating the release of this game for as long as we can remember. Today is the 29th and the app has just been released. Our friends and we all got together and we simultaneously opened the app with glee. However, to our extreme misfortune, the app crashed after four seconds of running. We were not dismayed though. For we opened the app a second time only to have it crash again. Similarly, our friend with an iPhone 6 experienced the same result. The only one of us to have the app work was a friend with an iPhone XR. So, in a hideous fit of pure rage, we screamed like a banshee and was unable to play on our phone. We were distraught. We have never been so sad and suicidal in our life. But we got to play on our friends iPhone XR so it was pretty good. 4/5.
Its a good game Ive played it on our friends phone but we cant get it to work on our phone. We have an iPhone 6 Plus and we can open it, but when we get into the lobby for the game it will crash.
Really disappointed we got this on our quest and we cant even play on our phone because it makes our iPhone 6 crash right as it starts Playing on our other Friends phone it is a great game but that issue ruined it for us.
We cant give a full review of the game because we have been unable to use it. We tried our iPhone 7, vevo and Samsung with no luck. We have to give it 2 stars over a 1 assuming it is a decent game once functioning. The app keeps crashing with no possibility of exiting the app using the exit option on the app. Have to close the game by either restarting our phone. Or using the swipe up option after pressing home twice.
However, the game is constantly crashing on iPad. It has crashed out to iOS, and requires room code to logon again. The game is also very laggy on iPad compared to other devices. Seems to be more stable on the iPhone and android phone.
We have two iPhone 6 and iPad Air. It does work on the IPad well but there nothing we can do to get it to work on ether of the iPhone 6es. We choose the server US just like on the PC/VR and type in the number of the lobby/room. As soon as it connects the app just crushes to the home screen. Have tried to reset our WiFi/modem. Shut of all other devices to free up the channel – no help. It seams to be a really fun and entertaining game but no way we can make it work on our iphones. We would gladly change the rating and the review if we could get help and can work it out for our phones.
Room code just shakes when we try to enter room as if incorrect code was entered. No way to get in. VERY DISAPPOINTING.
Crashes or has control glitches on our phone and our wifes. Both of us on iPhone 6s devices. Super disappointed.
App constantly crashes on our iPod.
This game is peak but one thing is that we think the Squirels should have some attack on the tree make the game (attack of the squirrels) live up to its name and also if your reading this far have a good life and rate acron 5 stars peace.
This game is amazing with a headset and some people.
We love playing this game with our brother, one day his VR broke and we could not play. Please make online for as long as we can repair the VR. We love acron.
We LOVE this game so much!! We play it with our family like all the time. Its a super fun and simple yet action filled party game! Would 100% recommend.
The mobile game is Net v18 and the newest version you can upgrade to on the Meta Quest 1 is v17 and they wont connect. Was a fun game at family gathering, but now useless.
These are some suggestions if you make a second game first of all, we dont want this to be an upgrade system with the upgrade, his current attack and make and allowed to be more acorns. Squirrels will have upgraded abilities, upgraded speed, upgraded strength not there to be in endless mode. No, we cant say everything, but Im this would be a true testament to skill for the tree. They have to grow until squirrels. Take all the acorns would be a true responsibility for the acorns and the games up new upgrade system, theyll be regular acorns used for upgrading. The Sprouse skin is acorn and into squirrel tokens they can get they treated away. The acorns might be to be storm by the tree tree, and then that will be used to upgraded the tree and also a good idea would be to add some, and we also want a customize character where you can make your own character. Thats just this skin. You cant make your own abilities that would be too OP we want four new characters to come one word they have a natural shield and can stand the tree, but loses their ability to pick up items when he has the natural shield a guy who can use multiple items at once, but he cant he loses the ability to roll to auto hide with the upgrade of them being really cute. Another one will be a one that ability will make useful later he can place down new items called shears that instead of taking up an item slot give them a new ability and he auto has the ability, but that will be used for later when we explain something later then theyll be always lovable big guy hell hell have notability where he carries his partner long acting like a shield that you can throw off the map its like a shield that takes one hit to destroy, but no matter what the squirrel hiding behind the shield is always safe. You can hold up to three squirrels which is really useful but three for squirrels means three new abilities for the tree. The first one is the use for the extra item that the third world has because he trapped squirrels and vines, making them stuck for their until theyre either freed by the chairs or taken out by the tree The second ability is called there actually we dont know what its called but basically you know the original middle ability yeah just do that but once it hits the ground for the first time, it causes the glue effect and theres another one the original right ability has that same thing but just rules all wherever rules it spreads the group on the map with the trees on the highest place. Thats really useful and thats it. We hope you use all these ideas in the second game.
Yay love it but at first glitching but then we realized that there was an update then it was fixed.
Loved this app until the latest update which has acorns in midair. No matter what you do, you cant pick up the acorn as a squirrel.
This game is super fun we play it every week but ever since the new update its super buggy. People teleport around the map and the acorns disappear or you cant pick them up. Really hope this gets fixed because we love this game but its pretty unplayable right now.
Its a very good game for all ages there are a few bugs that happen when us and our friends play: first when we switch turns on the oculus the tree gets really tall and you cant reach anything so we have to reset the game and its mostly boundary bugs with the tree but there was a phone bug like the game wouldnt let us or our family us the buttons and the pov would get stuck in a position and it wouldnt move for a few seconds, we think there should be more game modes to and more squirrels but other wise it is one of the best games Ive played on a phone or oculus.
So we just got a new be and this game is AMAZING! We play with our family all the time.
Let us explain the reason is because we need some one on vr so they should make public lobbys so people can join when ever they want PLS do our idea by the way we have a Vr.
We love being a squirrel being a squirrel is the best no one can tell you we dont like being a squirrel.Being a squirrel is the best but the tree ruins the fun he does not like being a squirrel. – ps we love acorns.
This is one of the best games we have ever played this is so good infact that we play it every second we get the chance.
This game is so much fun get a vr player and about 6 to4 players and it is chaotic . You and your squirrel team needs to make a plan to get the acorns. Please make a squirrel that has the power to make them invisible for a short time pretty please with a with a cherry on top.
This game is great! We just wish there was more maps, or themed maps. Christmas/snowy map or new years maps would be pretty cool. A map maker would be pretty awesome too! Super cool concept overall though.
This game was genius! Its so fun, their is no fighting when you play with your siblings,(because its easy to trade off) and it can get so funny! This game is definitely reccomended.
We were playing it with our VR and its so fun! If youre the tree you have to knock out the squirrels and if youre the squirrels you have to steal golden acorns and bring them back to bace. We recommend it. Just great.
Great to play with our family, good competitive fun.
We really like this game its been a while since we played this game but we played it again today and it was really fun. Great game we really think you should do a little bit more updates game developer if you even see this but overall a really good game.
This game is nuts!! Pun aside, this game is probably our favorite VR Game. We really hope more companies follow suit and follow the one player in VR, the rest on mobile, model. One of our favorite new party games for game night! We really hope they keep updating this game with skins and all that, but other than that, keep it just how it is – and make more like it! Ill gladly buy similar games in a heartbeat! Thank you devs.
Love this game!! Its one of our favorite ways to pass time as siblings or with friends. All we ask is, more maps please!! We love every single one but weve been playing for so long, wed love something new.
We really enjoy this game and love that it can be played with a single vr headset. Feature requests: It would be cool to be able to use multiple vr headsets. Having multiple trees doesn't seem quite right, but maybe additional vr headsets could join as squirrels? It could be cool to give the trees more types of rocks and let them choose their loadout before a game (keep the max at 3). We find the game is strongly weighted in favor of the tree. The ability to choose only one or two rocks (and/or choose to adjust cool down times) could let the tree increase difficulty. Finally, the inability to change camera angles on the squirrels needs to be fixed. Yes. There is an arrow above the squirrel pointing home. And that arrow will direct the squirrel right off a cliff, or into another obstacle. Keep the arrow. That's fine. But we need to see where we're going, even if that's just a single button that toggles our camera view between facing the tree and facing the nest. Some of our friends refuse to play again because this feature is missing. It would be nice to let the cp's use skins. We never use skins personally because it makes us stand out and let's the tree target us specifically. But if the cp's randomly had skins from time to time, we wouldn't stand out as much. (We generally fill the game with max cp's. They're absolute garbage at playing and probably shouldn't have the ability to pick up acorns or dig tunnels, but they do a good job distracting the tree.) Quick player tip: Before a game starts, the tree has the option to show or hide name tags above the squirrels. They're enabled by default and clearly identify who the players are and who the cp's are – because all the cp's are named after their squirrel (we.e. Chunk, Dug, etc.) and players use unique identifiers. From the tree's perspective, the name tags always show if the squirrel is just standing behind something and they occasionally show when the squirrel is hiding. So, changing your name to match the squirrel you're playing can help you blend in with cp's at a glance and avoid getting immediately sniped in a bush. Or you can ask the tree to hide the squirrel's name tags. Other than the camera angles, we really like the game. Giving each squirrel a different power is nice. Chunk is our favorite. Being able to play remotely is fantastic. Overall, great game. It's definitely more fun with more players.
It is a really fun game that we like to play with our friends. We think that the developers could fix a glitch where you fall through the map after you spawn. The rising water map is also really glitched.
This game is great because you can play with other people. Sim is our favorite character because he can build Bridges but one thing you shouldnt do with him is build a giant bridge around the tree because if you build a giant bridge around the tree, the tree will grow super tall in the game will glitch. We hope they can fix that soon. And sometimes we can never get our character to go the right way. Still great game but could use some fixes and great family games.
Our kids love playing this game as a family, and its been a lot of fun playing over the years. It would be great to see some updates to maps and other gameplay mechanics to help balance things out a bit. If you have a player who is very skilled at being the tree, it can be almost impossible to win as the squirrels. Maybe some options to adjust handicaps for the tree (or the squirrels) could be fun. It would also be cool to see multiple teams of squirrels, each trying to get the acorns back to their own base, so its not just the tree youre competing against.
WHY IS ACORN SPELLED WRONG IT IS ACORN NOT ACRON.
Our brother hogs the VR all the time and plays it with his friends please shut it down.
We LOVE this game. It might have some bugs but its such a good way to use your VR headset because so many people can have a fun time. This is a VR must (unless you never have anybody over).
The game wont stay open on our iPad and it allows you to use inappropriate names.
