About

Mole Madness

Features
Read full description

To reach the tastiest vegetables hidden deep within the field, dive into an underground, adrenaline-packed adventure as a hungry mole! But beware—play strategically so you don’t become the target of the angry farmer’s shovel waiting above. Surface to scout the freshest vegetables and take a clean breath of air, then quickly plunge back into the depths. Avoid slamming into hard rocks that can leave you dazed, and skillfully steer clear of harmful plants that spread across the fields as levels progress. Manage your limited oxygen wisely, rely on sharp reflexes to outsmart the farmer, and join this unstoppable digging adventure to claim the greatest feast of the underground kingdom!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Mole Madness at none against Mr Cactus's 17. Mole Madness also leads on ads (none vs shown). Mr Cactus's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
