About the Game

In Scare Crow, you will unleash your inner prankster by playing as Casey the Crow, who is feuding with squirrels over their limited food source. In a blend of stealth and 3rd person tower defense gameplay, you will hide and set traps to jump-scare your skittish enemies and send them fleeing your territory in fear.

Protect your birdseed

Your precious bird feeders are under siege! Sergeant Squeak and his squirrel army are eyeing your tasty treasures with greedy determination. Your mission is to stop them before they sink their paws into your beloved snacks. Every seed you save brings you closer to victory—and every loss stings.

Lure your enemies

Publicly known intel: squirrels love acorns—and that love is a weakness you can use against them. Toss acorns in strategic spots to lure these knuckleheads off their paths......and right into whatever you’ve got waiting for them.

Scare invading squirrel

These skittish squirrels may come in numbers, but a good scare is all it takes to send them scrambling! From leaping out of bushes to sneaky greetings from behind, unleash your arsenal of pranks and watch them panic, scatter, and bolt across the yard in hilarious chaos.

Play your way!

Outsmart your furry foes—whether by jump-scaring, trapping, or kicking their butts off the bird feeders, the choice is yours! Use balloons, sandboxes, beehives and other hilarious backyard props to turn your territory into the ultimate prankster’s playground!
