The player controls a hungry LSU campus squirrel trying to survive by collecting food scraps discarded in the trash by LSU students. As the player collects falling food from above, they must be careful about what they choose to eat, as some items can be detrimental to the squirrel’s health. Both food and trash will fall from above. The game ends when the player accidentally eats trash. The player has 3 lives, and as the difficulty increases, food falls faster, giving the player more chances to mess up. The player has 3 lives and 30 seconds to get 10+ food score. If they lose all their lives or run out of time before getting a 10+ score, they lose.
