Acron: Attack of the Squirrels! redefines social gaming by merging VR and mobile players in a hilarious battle of wits. As a VR user, you become a giant tree guarding golden acorns against up to eight friends controlling mischievous squirrels on phones. This asymmetrical party game thrives on laughter-filled chaos, cross-device teamwork, and quick strategic thinking.
Features of Acron:
🌟 Multi-platform mayhem: VR players wield environmental powers (tossing boulders and sticky sap traps), while mobile squirrels deploy pumpkins, tunnels, and mushrooms to outmaneuver the tree.
🌟 Character personalities: Play as Zip the sprinter, shield-carrying Chunk, tunnel-digging Doug, or ramp-building Sim—each squirrel offers unique skills.
🌟 Language inclusivity: Enjoy the game in 10 languages, from English and Spanish to Japanese and Simplified Chinese.
🌟 Auto-region setup: Seamless server connections adapt to your location for smooth multiplayer sessions.
