About Skoory Rush
Join our acorn-obsessed, furry protagonist on a wholesome platform-hopping mission through a world of colorful chaos. Outwit wacky woodland creatures, collect crunchy acorns, and perform gravity-defying, combo chaining stunts in this interactive collect 'em up. Swim in underground oceans and be the one of the first squirrels to reach outer space. Challenge your friends and climb your way up the online leaderboards. Watch out for those pigeons - they may look friendly, but they'll send you crashing back down to earth in no time.
WHAT IS SKOORY RUSH?
- A game where you can jump and collect as many items as possible.
- A game where you can earn combo points by collecting items without getting hit.
- A game where you die a lot and restart fast.
- A game with no menus, that goes straight into the action.
- A game you can play in short bursts (unless you want to keep retrying to get a better score).
- A game where you can zone and chill out to while listening to your own soundtrack.
- A game with colorful graphics and energetic sounds.
- A game with Steam leaderboard and achievements.
HOW TO PLAY
- Skoory is very light and floaty. Jumping gives vertical momentum, but horizontal momentum is also maintained.
- The longer you hold jump, the higher the jump. A quick tap equals low jump.
- You can't jump while in the air, but a limited number of consecutive wall jumps are allowed. You can even 'bird jump', 'fruit jump' or 'acorn jump' with practice. There is a trail effect after performing a 'wall jump'.
- Enter 'frenzy mode' by collecting 4 acorns without getting hit. Every acorn you collect during frenzy mode has a points multiplier, the birds give more acorns during frenzy mode.
- Collecting 2 or 3 fruits without touching anything else (including platforms or sides of the screen) will trigger a 1000 or 5000 points bonus. Always go for fruit combos for maximum points.
- You can pause with escape and change the volume with the +/- keys.
Now, unleash your inner squirrel parkour skills and let the Skoorily shenanigans begin!

It's fast, it's floaty, it's a great arcade platformer. It's all about a squirrel chasing high scores against all kinds of nasty birds. But actually it's all about [spoiler][b]DEEZ NUTS![/b][/spoiler]1 found this helpful
"Skoory Rush" is one of literally thousands of retro 2D platformers infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere... and I'm not kidding. Searching for "platformers" on the Steam store page yields over 17,000 results! Is this one of the best of those? Absolutely not. Control a squirrel on a single screen platformer level, jump around, collect acorns and avoid pigeons. This platformer isn't really a game for gamers (in fact if you asked me what an AI generated game would look like, I'd point you at this, although I don't think this is AI). It's from an educational/community group in the UK and was made to benefit the creators rather than being designed as a product gamers would want to engage with. It's a very simple Construct-like 2D platformer (actually made with Love2D, that's no better than Construct2). Offering almost nothing to gamers, this is less sophisticated than the original Mario Bros (yes, there were Mario games before Super Mario Bros), but this was published several decades later... so you can see why I'm saying this isn't valuable. Just play Mario Bros, any of them are better than this. This is a tired, outdated experience fr…
