Don't Get WHACKED!

Whac-A-Mole in reverse. 

The classic game of Whac-A-Mole with a twist: You play as the moles.

Keep you moles above ground as much as possible but remember: Don't get whacked.

How to Play:

Controls:

Click on a hole to add or remove a mole. The number of available moles is visible in the top-left corner. (Available/Total)

The lighter circles represent empty holes, while the darker ones contain a mole.

Gameplay:

To start the game, choose the difficulty level and place your first mole

Keep as many moles active as possible at all times to increase your score. But watch out for the Targeting Indicators. They are the circles closing around some of the holes. Remove your moles from the targeted holes before they close or it's Game Over.

When you get hit, click retry to try and beat your score or go to the main menu to chosse a different difficulty level.

Difficulty Levels:

The game has 4 difficulty levels. Each with a unique layout of holes.

The difficulty also affects the tempo of the game and the number of moles under your control.

Score:

The main goal of the game is to get your score as high as possible. Here are some tips to help you get a high score:

  • The more moles active at the same time, the faster your score goes up
  • The longer you survive, the faster your score increases
  • If you have only 1 mole active, your score will stand still
  • If you have no moles active, your score will start to drop!

Playing in fullscreen is recommended for best experience.
