▶

A new version of That's Nuts! is now available for download on all supported platforms. The update includes a handful of small bug fixes, UI tweaks, and some internal changes in preparation for our larger update coming in March. The most noteworthy bug fix is that critters will now only be counted as missed/escaped if their body fully crosses the right edge of the playing area. In previous versions of the game, once a critter's body was more than half way off the screen the player would lose a life and the critter would disappear. This wasn't the intended behavior, but it existed for so long that we just got used to it. For example, the dog below would have cost a life in v1.5.5, but is still hit-able with a nut in v1.5.6:
The new update also fixes a visual issue with the Meese and Mike bonus critters losing their animations after using a Clock power-up. We've also added a custom cursor and fixed a menu selection bug when using a controller to navigate the pause menu. The internal changes actually make up the bulk of the update, although they shouldn't have any immediate impact on game play. We've updated the system we use to track personal and global stats so that it supports multiple game modes. That includes high scores on the global leader board, as well as your own personal scores and game play stats show in the Progress page. The 1.5.6 update will automatically port your data over to the new system so that's ready for the big update in March, which will introduce a brand new game mode! The full release notes for the update can be found below:

Added a custom cursor graphic
Added a Steam download link to the official homepage
Added a Bluesky social link to the main menu, next to the existing Instagram link
Changed the name of the Default theme to Meadow
Fixed an issue with Mike and Meese losing their animations after using a Clock power-up
Fixed critters so they only count as missed when their entire body crosses the right side of the screen, instead of only the first half of their body
Fixed an issue with pause menu buttons not automatically re-selecting when controller input is received

Welcome to That's NUTS! -- a casual tower defense game where you help Hank the Squirrel defend his park from invaders. Fire four different kinds of nuts with your slingshot, each with its own special ability. Grab power-ups that fall into the playing area for a quick boost when things get chaotic. Race against the clock and survive for as long as you can!

At the beginning of the game a steady stream of critters will try to make their way across the screen. Critters start off on foot, but over time they'll learn to use parachutes and drop into the middle of the map instead of starting on the edge. The game ends if too many of them successfully make it to the other side.

As your score gets higher, your chances of encountering a rare Hawk, Grasshopper or Mangolin go up. All three of them have ways to avoid your regular defenses and pose an extra challenge!

Each time you fire your slingshot a random nut is chosen -- you can tell which type is coming up next in the game interface. The most common type is the Acorn which bounces up to 3 times on the ground before disappearing. The Coconut breaks and creates a slowing puddle as soon as it hits the ground. The Pistachio explodes on impact with the ground, hitting all nearby critters and power-ups. Lastly, the Walnut creates a vertical barrier that blocks critters. All nuts can bounce any number of times after hitting a critter, but they lose speed from each bounce.

Hitting a power-up using any kind of nut will collect it and earn you a small, temporary advantage. The Clock power-up freezes time for 5 seconds and stops all critters in their tracks. The Heart grants you an additional life, and the Skull eliminates all critters currently on the map.

You can pick a theme to customize the appearance of the world and the outfits worn by critters. Keep track of your personal scores, stats and achievement in the game itself, and fight for a spot on the global leader board.

Best of luck!
