Moletastic!
Cute game, I love swapping between the shovel and the pick, I like the field of view powerup and overall its very easy to just pick up and play!
My main criticisms though would be I'd like to be able to swap between the tools faster, there's a slight delay right now between the swapping and I think if that were significantly reduced it would allow me to go faster! The trade off would be its easier to make a few mistakes as you're allowing the player to go faster.
Love the falling rocks, and I like there's a difference in points between the sand and the rocks.
Could be some improvement over signposting to the player what the powerups do, and currently I've been avoiding all the red ones, as I expect they're most likely going to be bad. Possibly have some random ones that could be good, or could be bad so the player could take a gamble whether or not to hit that block. And maybe a power up that gives you a super tool that would allow the player to hold the button down and churn through terrain at high speed for a short while without having to swap tools. Occasional bursts of super digging could be quite satisfying.
Love the UI, simple and easy to read. thought i'm not fond of the music, I think have a bit more variety in there would help.
Lastly I really like the little animation of the mole when he gets his head bonked by a rock haha :D
Good fun. I also like the fact that I currently hold the world record in Mole In The Hole.
Viewing post in ๐ฎ My Mole Game โ Looking for Feedback!
I truly appreciate your comment and especially your "criticisms"—for me, that's really good feedback and stuff I can build on! Speeding up tool swapping is a great idea, especially since it would let players move faster and feel more in control. Iโll definitely tweak that!
In the future, I plan to add quick info about the power-ups so players know what they do. And yeah, the red ones give debuffs, while the green ones give buffs. I love your idea of a super tool power-up that lets you churn through terrain at high speed—Iโm definitely going to implement that!
I try to keep the graphics simple because, honestly, Iโm not that great at it, just doing my best. ๐ I had a lot of fun working on the animations, so Iโm really happy you like them haha. And yeah... doing music is a real pain for me, gotta work on that too.
Again, really appreciate your feedback, and congrats on holding the world record—enjoy it while it lasts… because Iโm coming to take it back! ๐๐๐
