Flying Squirrel

You are a northern flying squirrel. Each night runs dusk to dawn: climb a trunk, launch (SPACE), glide tree to tree — nose-down for speed, SHIFT to flare for a soft landing — gather acorns, seeds and mushrooms, and carry them home to the den hollow. Store the winter quota before the first snow.

Controls

• WASD — run / climb (W climbs up a trunk, A/D circle it)
• Mouse — third-person camera; steering while gliding follows the camera
• SPACE — hop / launch from a trunk or branch / deploy mid-fall
• SHIFT — flare (brake) while gliding; land gently or pay in energy
• E — pick up food · store food at the den · sleep through the day
• F — eat a carried morsel
• ESC — pause

Survive

• Energy drains as you climb and glide — collapse at zero. Food restores it.
• Owls perch at night: their hoots quicken as they lock on. Break line-of-sight — dive through a canopy.
• Foxes patrol the floor. Don't linger on the ground.
• Snakes coil near low trunks. Watch the low limbs.
• The hawk rules the day. Be denned at dawn, or hide under cover until dusk.

Deposits persist between sessions; the gallery tracks the species you've seen and your records — longest glide, best night's haul, nights survived. Custom mode tunes predator density, day length, and infinite energy.
