One Squirrel To Rule Them All by Kazuul (Free, 143.2 MB): It's the clash of the century as the average animals take on the ogres in this adorable, peculiar, and challenging tower defense-style game. After the hideous green creatures invaded the kingdom, only one territory remained, but the residents weren't ready to give up entirely. Backs against the wall, the barnyard leaders put you in charge of the forces, which are none other than the baby squirrels. These furry tailed creatures may look cute, however, their vicious acorn spouting will prove otherwise. Utilize the pink pelted soldiers properly to overpower the beasts, protect the chests of various treasures, and you'll recapture the province in no time. From that point, move onto reclaiming the next, and next, and next until all 100 are once again yours. Along the way, gather more energy providing mushroom juice, recruit new animals, plus make allies and other enemies. The game features cartoony 2.5-D graphics, awkwardly charming soundtrack, 150 mission campaign with online multiplayer element integration, 18 unlock able units/characters, humorous cutscene-type tutorial, and three virtual currencies. Access requires a Facebook link or sign-up to a free account.
