Mole Mash is a fast, friendly tap arcade for everyone. Moles pop up across a 3x3 grass field — tap them before they duck back down. Land five clean hits in a row and the Golden Hammer activates: a glowing five-second window where every mash counts double and the whole world shakes with every tap. Watch out: skunks show up too. Tap one by mistake and you lose a life. Three lives, 30 seconds, one round. The clock speeds up as time runs out, so the last few seconds get wild. Why people love it: - Pick-up-and-play controls anyone can master in seconds - Original characters: a cheeky brown mole, a rare gold mole worth bonus points, and a skunk to avoid - Golden Hammer combo state that turns clean play into fireworks - Crisp haptics and arcade-style sound that feel great in your hand - One-handed portrait play, perfect for the commute, the couch, or queues - No accounts, no friction — just open and play - Built natively in SwiftUI for buttery-smooth motion on every iPhone Mole Mash is a love letter to old-school cabinet arcades, redrawn with modern art and a tactile feel. Every round is short enough for a coffee break and good enough that you'll want one more. Chase your best score, share it with friends, and see who can survive the final ten seconds. Free to play.
