Read full description

HOLY GUACAMOLE! Guac-A-Mole is the squishiest, most satisfying whack-a-mole you've ever played — now in handmade-looking clay. Veggies pop out of their pots. You squash them. They SPLAT, squirt into your guac bowl, and your guac meter fills. Fill the bowl and it's FIESTA time: faster veggies, double the chaos, golden glowing pots. SQUISH EVERYTHING (WELL, ALMOST) • Avocados, tomatoes, onions, limes, cilantro and a very spicy jalapeño • Chain hits into combos that heat up the screen • Time it right for a PERFECT hit and a golden crunch • Careful: the Golden Avo is smug about it, and Moldy really stinks FOUR WAYS TO PLAY • Classic: 60 seconds, highest score wins • Endless: three lives, how long can you last? • Daily: a fresh challenge every day • Challenge: one miss and it's over COLLECT AND SHOW OFF • Earn Pitcoins as you play, and a daily gift that grows the more days you play • Spend them in the shop on splats, pestles and bowls that change how your guac looks • Try your luck at the Guac Machine: no repeats until you own the whole set • Unlock special items by pulling off feats Fair and friendly: everything you can buy is cosmetic — no power-ups, no pay-to-win. Grab your pestle. The guac won't make itself.
