Use of theme is great, and use of different types of moles was a great addition - so there's some strategizing there. I had fun!

Great menu system and UI. The game nails the theme, and the gameplay loop is a simple, but thoughtful design. Great job all around, it feels so complete, and that's truly impressive for 48 hours!
Very cool to see another Whack-a-mole inspired game! I love your take that the moles are getting their revenge hahaha, you took the theme one level further than myself.
I love the modelling and the music, it's very nicely done! Dodging that red mole is super difficult 💀
Would love to see this updated further and see where you can take it with more time!
Very well done :))
Got 107 score. I like a good arcade-style game, and the different types of mole added some intrigue because you weren't dodging all of them, some of them you wanted to get hit by, which is a role reversal in and of itself.
The only thing I wasn't clear on was the dash mechanic, it didn't always work it seems.
I liked the design of the characters and enjoyed the music. I thought this was an interesting idea for the jam.
A interesting concept for sure! It took me a while to get an idea of what was going on, but I managed to figure it out. I do think some sound for the warning lights would make it easier to know when to doge and gives you a heads up on what to look out for. Simple buzzers should do the trick. After playing this though, I did start thinking of the other way you could do the idea, but realized that it was a bad idea.
The baby mole is a nice way to bring variety to an arcade-like game like this one, but I'd like more. Giving the player the option to temporarily seal a hole when they catch the baby mole could be it, maybe? Something like that. On the whole, a fun little game - I particularly liked the UI art.
Man this game is so polished for a gamejam. Very cool take on the theme and the gameplay is fun and addictive. I got something like 160. It was also quite challenging as well especially when the side moles started showing up. One thing this game would favor from is some player feedback because at the moment the only thing that indicates got hit is the hearts but a sound or camera shake would add so much more juice to the game. Aside from that the game is pretty cool good job.
Good game overall. Graphics and music fit nicely. Also liked that the game included audio settings. Good job.
liked playing it! So congrat's! I like that style for the game, i don't really understand why in 3D but it look cool!
Nice game! First off, the gameplay was very enjoyable, the game is really not easy at all lmao. The side moles are way harder to react and respond to than the bottom ones. The reds coming right after another mole, especially from the side, were really hard to react to since I was never looking at the sides after another mole had just shown up, but that might honestly be a good thing.
