Cool game!

New Comment as the game ran this time!
I love the concept of seeing what's inside of the box the mole hides in! I was at first confused as to what I'm meant to do hahaha, but after clicking around a lil I realised I'm meant to be trying to take pictures or "scoops". I loved the improv music and sounds hahahaha they were fantastic, and the art is great too. Would be great to have some feedback for when you hover over a valid target, I felt like I was clicking randomly until something happened (might just be me tho). Very wholesome vibe across the board however! I loved this take on whack-a-mole :D

Seems there's a handful of us who made a game around this theme, it's cool to see all of the different takes!
Very well done!

Can't rate because the game didn't run for me D:

Oh no, that's a shame! Can I ask what browser you are using?

Firefox, it seemed to just blackscreen. Tried it again just there and it worked fine! Not sure what the issue was the first time around

Cute game!!! The take on the theme is really funny and the execution is really good, and the implementations of the "scoops" were really creative! It's just a shame that there is not much motivation to get a higher score and it can get boring if the player decides to play safe against the hammer o3o.

Anyways the graphics and the SFX are actually flawless :p. Very memorable entry!!

I was just vibing to the music moving through holes taking pictures that I kept forgetting about the hammer haha! nice scoop!

Cool concept! Really liked the artstyle and theme song, getting scoops while avoiding the hammer was a fun bit of multitasking. Perhaps there should be a bit more time on the clock to reduce the impact of rng on the final score. Also, would have been nice if the game over screen from time running out was a bit different, I got pretty confused the first time it happened 😅

Thank you for your review and feedback! That's odd - does nothing happen when you press the W button?
