not much to say, art is decent and gameplay was very simple.

id probably categorize this as an idle game pretending to be an arcade game. the spawn/despawn rate of the moles was way to fast for it to feel like a cozy idle game and the lack of progression and content means it also felt short of being an actual game. definitely an experience, but not something I find myself wanting to replay.

Five Nights at Mole's. These sound effects are... very familiar... but fun little game! I like the music change when you purchase the hat too. It'd be nice if the items were explained in the game unless there was a way to see it and I'm just a goober.

Haha, theme fits fine, but would be even more fitting if the moles are synchronized to the music :D Simple, yet fitting art style. The game play is working, but I got the feeling the moles are moving much too fast to make this game an enjoyable game. This way I got frustrated and overwhelmed by the fast moving moles quite quickly. Still: Nice work!

Fellow mole enthusiast! I like your take on the theme ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I love the art style and sound effects, I think its fair to assume you're influenced by Pizza Tower?? The style is packed with character, chaotic and intentional, I love it!


The chill bossa nova music interrupted by the rat jump scare was comedy. At first I wasn't sure how to play, but the game does a good job of leading you to feeding that unhinged rat pretty well with that! Great work on this one!
