Zero is Hungry
Winter's coming, and Zero is hungry!
Zero the squirrel has spent all autumn filling his acorn stash beneath the old oak. Now, every day, a new thief turns up to raid it: barn rats, blue jays, crows, raccoons, even a black bear. Bet your acorns, spin the roulette wheel, and help Zero shoo them off before the first frost.
How to play
- Bet and spin. If the acorn ball lands on the green 0, Zero pounces: the thief takes a hit and your bet comes back multiplied.
- Anything else and the thief attacks Zero. But red makes Zero hungrier, so the next 0 pays even more, and black means he dodges the attack.
- Shoo the thief away to win the day, then shop the Harvest Market for charms and snacks.
- A new pocket sprouts every day: longer odds, bigger wins.
The goal
The wheel starts with just three pockets (0, 1 and 2). Win day 35 and the last pocket, 36, sprouts: a full roulette wheel, and a stash big enough for winter. It's really hard, but it can be done. After that, keep going for a bigger best!
