Nice work on this. The spinning made it feel pretty unique (and dizzy) and definitely kept things interesting. Good challenge and I found myself wanting to try again to beat my score. Music was a good fit as well. I did start to get a bit dizzy after a while.. maybe the rotation could slow down or change direction now and then to mix it up. Had a couple of moments where a tree spawned right under a mole so maybe a little spawn animation or delay could help with that.  Really solid and fun to play. Good job

Developer

Thank you so much im happy you enjoed it and sorry for the dizzyness , and yup couldnt have diffently did something about the spininng maybe change it up a bit andmake it moving left and right instead of rotating :)

nice music! Spinning was a bit disorienting but maybe that's the point!

Developer

glad you enjjoyed my music :3, sorry for the spinning haha should have tried other approuch alot of people got dizzy from it =p

Cute little game. It was a nice play, but the continued spinning can get you a little dizzy. But still a good job on making it.

Developer

thank you and sorry for the dizzyness caused by the silly game =p

Fun! I really like the background music as well.  I got 26 after a few tries, but I'm using a trackpad and I think this would be a bit easier with a regular mouse. But I still enjoyed it.

Developer

Fun little game. Kind of hypnotic and yes, I also felt the dizzyness. I once clicked on a tree hidden by a mole (which could be a memory like feature) and once probably on a tree just spawning which felt unfair. Maybe the latter can be avoided somehow, e.g. with a spawn animation where only after the spawning, the click actually counts.

Developer

Thank you for your feedback, yes sometimes a tree appear on top of a mole didnt know how to fix it D: glad you enjoyed it tho !

Cool game! Got 34 after a few tries! Could be interesting if at some point rotation changed))


Developer

Got 27 on my first try, never managed to beat it afterwards.



You do need to get a bit lucky to not get as many moles on the outside, since then spin faster and are way harder to hit. Maybe moles on the outside could have been a bit larger to offset that.

It also made me a bit dizzy trying it a couple times in a row, but that is to be expected for stuff that keeps spinning ;P


Great job for a first jam (and I liked the OPTION menu a lot ;P)

Developer
