About

SmartMole!

Features
Read full description

You can choose between time attack and unlimited time. In time attack, the speed at which moles appear will change depending on the level. You can also choose when they appear. We also have a mode where two animals appear at the same time, making it even more difficult. With no time limit, the more you continue, the faster the moles will appear. In most whack-a-mole games, the locations where moles appear are fixed, but since this is a smartphone, we made them appear randomly anywhere within the screen range. It's designed to look like a rhythm game, so you'll be able to enjoy a different kind of whack-a-mole experience than ever before.

About

Whac

Read full description

With AR technology, a whack-a-mole like game that surrounds you 360 degrees appears. Tap to hit the Anpan as they pop out of the 8 holes, you will get 10 points for each hit, and if you can hit them within 1 second you will get 30 points. You can get 10 points for each tap and 30 points if you can tap within 1 second. The time limit is extended by clearing the scores according to the level. If you hear the Anpan appearing but can not see it, it may be behind you. Each Anpan is a different size and has a different pitch when it appears. Use not only your sense of sight but also your sense of hearing to get a high score. โ€ปEven if the OS meets the requirements, AR cannot be used if the hardware is not compatible. Please check the following page for the compatible models in advance. https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/DeviceInformation/Reference/iOSDeviceCompatibility/DeviceCompatibilityMatrix/DeviceCompatibilityMatrix.html
