Squirrel King is an unlicensed platform game developed for the Sega Mega Drive. It was published and developed by Gamtec, and therefore its origin is Taiwan. In 2010s, Piko Interactive bought the rights to the game and thanks to this was available on some of the Atgames console.
Squirrel King is the basis for another unlicensed title, Super Mario World, also for the Mega Drive, but developed by Chuanpu and possibly published by Ming Super Chip Electronic.
In 2015, the hack of the game called Fixiki, based on Russian cartoon show, was sold there as one of the game available for EXEQ portable consoles and with branded clone Mega Drive 2 VG-1627 FX, bundled with cartridge FX-025 including 25 games and Fixiki. The only difference is removal of cemetery level. Oddly enough, the game was published by a company that had the rights to produce licensed products of this brand.

Gameplay
Squirrel King is extremely similar to Capcom's Chip 'N Dale: Rescue Rangers and it sequel, Chip 'N Dale: Rescue Rangers 2 for the NES, to the point where the player actually plays as two characters named "Chip" and "Dale" (though they look slightly different to their Disney counterparts). 
jumps, 
picks up and throws crates, and 
allows Chip or Dale to throw fireballs, assuming they have some in their inventory.
