I found Squirrel Eat Squirrel in Making Games with Python and Pygame by Al Sweigart. He described it as loosely based on 'Katamari Damacy'. You are squirrel who eats smaller squirrel which makes you bigger until you reach omega squirrel. I really liked the game despite it's simplicity. I decided to modify it to have better graphics and different type of squirrels. The different squirrel types don't have any gameplay effect at the moment.

Thank for sharing! Very nice little game, I'd be very glad if it was expanded to record hi-scores, have more rules and perhaps a little better background graphics. I'm having fun with it already. Maybe I'd just make the squirrel jump a little less when moving, it feels a little weird. Here is a screenshot for other people to see what's going on:

I added a title screen. The title was originally just black text. I decided to put the squirrel head and tail on the 'S' to make it more interesting. I see things I'd like to improve on it but it works for now. It should probably have a "Press any key to start" on it. The plan is to add two high score charts. One would be time to becoming omega squirrel. Second would be a high score with different score for different squirrels.
