Players will pick their favorite varmint and chase, catch, throw, and tackle their way to securing the elusive acorns.  Each character has different abilities such as speed, strength, jump and other special moves, making its selection a strategic choice before diving in the arena.

Save Your Nuts features three different modes; Capture the Nut, where an acorn is dropped and teams fight to score it, Thieves, fight to steal multiple enemy’s nuts while protecting your own team’s, and Battle, a constant fight to be the last animal with their nuts intact. Each of these modes is playable across 10 different arenas ranging from backyards and parks to castles, ships, and even outer space! These maps are filled with unique hazards and power-ups that help players turn the tide of battle. Up to 8 players can compete locally, online or against a challenging AI to be the greatest nut defender the neighborhood has ever seen!

With simple and intuitive controls, new players can easily jump in and have fun! Easy to play, but hard to master. Want to win? You better know when to attack (or defend!), jump, shoot, pass – or choose the right power-up.

“We would like to thank our Early Access community; they have really helped us with their feedback so far. This period has been extremely constructive for us. Their suggestions and the improvements we’ve made will help us to launch on Steam with a high-quality game that we can bring to even more people on Xbox and Switch”, says Frederic Bobohn, Triple Scale Games founder.
