Read full descriptionHide 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.
