70 points for save a mole 45s im bad lmao. I like how its a simulation of the whack games but very customizable. Nice job

Submitted

Excellent job to switch the role. Though it just changes a  little on the game mechanic, it brings much fun to the game. I still believe that it could be more things to discover and bring more other game modes.

Fun!

Interesting take on the classic, I like that there are so many moles and holes!

Submitted

Fun concept! Like the flexibility of what game you could play.

Submitted

I absolutely love this! All the different moles added a nice variety and the art style is absolutely adorable.

I finally found someone that made this game! Love it! Really fun whacking humans ahah. It needs some music and unfortunately the the hammer hides some holes while it's floating and you can't see if there're moles/humans inside. But it's a very good game!

Submitted

Very fun!!

Whac-a-Mole was not on my idea list, nice catch! Good and interesting game, it's nice that you can switch mode, I found out only by reading comments though. It's clean and enjoyable, good job!

Submitted

An interesting twist on the mechanics, I enjoyed this one.

Submitted

I really liked that you can switch what you are doing. Very role changing.

Submitted

I absolutely love it 
i gave it 5 stars in everything
the changing game mode wasn't obvious though

Submitted

Really clever twist, I like the different game modes, although it took me a second to figure out how to change them. Overall really challenging and fun!

Fun game. I like the variations of the game rules. Great job!

Submitted

Very fun and funny, I missed some variations of mechanics, like appearing a bomb and letting the hammer hit, so it would be out for a few seconds.

Submitted

Looks good and works well for what it is!  Changing the game mode and setting in the main menu is creatively implemented, but could be made more obvious (ie. make the buttons look more buttony).  Still an awesome game for just 48 hours in development!

Developer

thanks!

yes, definitely agree! the menu buttons don't look like buttons xD I need to up my game on UI creation

Submitted

Nice game! nice touch with more than one game mode (but i didn't realized until i saw the other comment). I liked the hammer and the sound, but sometimes it blocks the camera. maybe you could put a shadow to show were it will hit. 

Developer

hahaha yeah, the UI could have used some move love xD

true true, that bothered me a bit too. Good idea about the shadow!

Submitted

Nice that it has multiple game modes

Developer

Thanks! :)
