Very impressive art. I love it : D

Submitted

I very much enjoyed playing this! It was a fun idea having the moles be set on a timer to go up and down in the holes rather than having some sort of quick time event like most minigames of this fashion do. Continue the great work!

 Very nice! I loved the concept of being the mole, and the gameplay is simple but works perfectly fine. Nice job and good luck with the jam!

The pixel art and animation were amazing. It was a bit confusing at the beginning, but still nicely done.

Cute graphics, I like the strategy on this game

Dang, I beat it my first try, let's go! They don't call me Mole King for nothing (literally nobody calls me that, but...). I also liked that the hammer guy looked evil lol.  A nice classic with reversed roles, great game!

Submitted

Cute art, I enjoyed the puzzle aspect although it took me a turn to really figure it out,  had lots of fun protecting the moles!

Submitted

Cool pixelart!

The hammer swing is probably my favorite animation I've seen in any game I've played in this jam- really well done there. The game is pretty hard to grasp, so I agree with others that a tutorial might've been good. I also agree that the turns are slow, but I think it didn't bother me as much as some other people. Fun game overall!

I agree the turns and animation for the hammer should be faster and maybe add some sound effects. The strategy is a little unclear so maybe a tutorial or description would help

Submitted

The art of the game is very good, also the game idea is good but a bit confusing at first. Good work!!

Submitted

Great game, but turns and animations could be a little faster

Submitted

Such a cute art style! The game is a little confusing at first, I read to re-read the instructions like 3 times before I got it, when I did it started to feel fun, but then IT ENDED 😭 it deserved to be longer, such a creative concept! Congrats for the submission!

ha! nice take in the whack a mole game. I really like the turn based aspect of it
