Fun game! The minimalist style works well for the jam, if you keep going with it I would love to see actual little moles.

Thanks. I'm planning to update the game post-jam so maybe that'll happen at some point 😁

Crazy potential. Really relaxing game. Sfx are kind of loud but ok. 

Keep it up :)

Thanks. I planned to add a volume slider or at least a mute button but ran out of time 😅
I'm planning to overhaul the sound effects post-jam too.

A simple and fun gameplay loop! The fact you can occupy multiple holes at once makes the game way more exciting, and the minimalist style aids the game pretty well.

Don't have a lot else to say, as it's pretty bare-bones, but overall I had a good time with it ^^
