I like how you took a classic game and reversed the players role. Nice job on the theme. This game is challenging.

A nice addicting game.

Nice reversal of concept, and cool soundtrack. Great job!

what a fun concept! Dialog is hilariously unexpected.

96 seconds...

Great idea and pretty fun for 48hrs. I kept thinking about Caddyshack :) I never made it much past 45 secs or so, about when the difficulty increased. Could definitely see something like this on mobile.

Yeah nice concept and good tension.

Very interesting concept. :)

good reversal of concept

really good idea. I was imagined the hammer was controlled by max (from sam & max).

the web link is not working

Worked for me! Dig it! That hammer up there is so imposing, it's surprisingly stressful (in a great way) and a great fit for the theme.

The intermittent dialogue was my favorite. The pathos of the last living mole!

I love the idea of playing the mole. It seemed a little difficult though, not a lot of strategy, just timing. It would be interesting to see this with several moles to more closely feel like playing on the wrong side of a game of whack-a-mole.

42 seconds for me... that's pretty bad, haha. Very challenging game, I like the concept! The simplicity of the graphics didn't really bother me since the gameplay was fast-paced.

Nice twist on an old classic! I like the burrow effect.

Loved this game, super addictive, I like the idea of health regenerating! I hope you continue to polish this game, it has a lot of potential

The poor mole... I didn't get past the two hammers. Great game.
