(I only arrived up to wave 15)


A wackamole game of this type seems interesting in concept but wackamole should be more about  "do you have the reflexes and the wit to distinguish which mole you should wack and wack it in time", while this game evolves into "try clicking the red dot in a sea of orange dots"; imo the orange bullets become too many as the game goes on and instead it would've been more engaging if it was closer to traditional wackamole with similiar "moles"

I 100% agree, thanks for the feedback! Despite the positive comments I got, I'm not excited about how this turned out at all. I appreciate it, sorry for the late reply, I've been sick!

The graphics was awesome ! Also the gameplay feel smooth and never punishing. Great works to pull it under 3hours alone.

Hi!

I had a lot of trouble trying to play your game because it made me feel sick. The motion is just too much and too blurry and everything feels blurry. It honestly hurt my eyes and made me feel sick (physically), so I had to stop. I hope you can consider this for future games.

Developer

I am SO sorry Patricia, genuinely!! I suffer from terrible motion sickness from many games myself, so I completely understand! In this case, the buildings didn't "set it off" for me. I'm deeply sorry. 

There *IS* accessibility options in the menu to reduce motion, etc (I try to ALWAYS include these), but they weren't working sufficiently. Right now I am adding a warning screen, reducing the motion overall, and fixing the menu option to ACTUALLY disable the motion. 

thanks for letting me know, and again, I apologize-- i know how awful that feels. sometimes I have to actually lay down and take 'car sickness' pills for it. 

Developer

Please don't try again, as I don't want you to get sick, but FYI I have fixed the settings menu so that it entirely disables the background motion now.

Thank you!
