Read full descriptionHide full description
Draw your route, claim territory, and keep animals away from your trail! Mole Digger is an offline game for iPhone and Apple Watch that combines route planning, quick reactions, and timed challenges. SWIPE, TAP, AND CLAIM LAND Guide your mole into open land, then reconnect your trail to claimed ground to capture an area. Only the largest open region remains; the other regions and their animals disappear. Watch each animal, choose your moment, and retreat along your trail when danger gets too close. TAKE ON 10 LEVELS Each level starts with 60 seconds and 3 lives. Clear all animals or reduce the open area to the target size to advance. A collision or timeout costs a life. Run out of lives and your challenge begins again at level 1. CATCH THE RED ANIMAL Capture the red animal for a chance to collect one random item per level. Shield, Freeze, Extra Time, Sprint, Slow, and Extra Life can help you recover. A Mystery Box may give you a helpful effect, or double the animals' number or speed.EARN COINS AND CHASE STARS Link captures together for coin combos of up to 3x. Finish quickly and keep more lives to earn up to three stars per level, with a bonus for your first three-star clear. Your coins and best star ratings are saved on the current device. PLAY ON YOUR PHONE OR WRIST Includes the iPhone game and a companion Apple Watch app for short play sessions. Gameplay works offline, with pause and resume controls. Coins and best star ratings are stored separately on each device and do not sync. Leaving a game does not save a resumable round. CHOOSE FROM 9 LANGUAGES Play in English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, or Italian. Menus, instructions, and prompts follow your preferred app or device language, with English as the fallback for unsupported languages. Start with one patch of land and see how far you can go!
