Acron: Attack Of The Squirrels Models Cross-Medium Play From VR

Become a tree with mighty branches for arms and toss annoying squirrels as far as you can in VR's best kids party game.

Acron: Attack of The Squirrels is the best kids party game available in VR and a model for how cross-medium interaction should work.

Resolution Games immediately embodies players in VR as a mighty tree that transports a player straight from their living room to protect shiny acorns from thieving squirrels in VR. Your fingers turn into the wooden branches of the tree and VR’s ability to scale the environment makes you tower over a field invaded by scheming squirrels. Tree vs. squirrel matches are just a few minutes each and random codes make it easy for squirrels on phones to find their tree in VR.

The speed by which a match starts and ends, with the joy and surprise associated with the tree tossing squirrels into the far reaches of simulated space, is exactly the reason why Acron can entertain for an hour or more as players take their turn in VR with just a single headset.

Acron was released in 2019 and received its latest update in 2026. The game is available on the Quest store with free companion apps on Android and iOS to log in as the squirrels.
