About

THE MOLE MATCH

Features
Read full description

A fresh casual game that reinvents whack-a-mole! Find matching moles among the ones popping out of the holes, and tap them one after another. You'll need quick reflexes to spot matches on a board that keeps changing, plus the memory to track your target after tapping the first one. Since the hole layout changes every time, even the same stage feels fresh with every attempt. [Game Features] - 30 stages in total (Free area Lv.1-5, Paid area Lv.6-20, Cloud stages Lv.21-30) - 25 uniquely designed mole characters - The further you progress, the more moles you need to match at once and the more types keep switching, gradually raising the challenge - Simple tap controls anyone can enjoy - Available in Japanese and English [How to Play] Tap the same type of mole twice in a row to make a match! Clear a stage by matching every mole type before time runs out. Tapping the wrong mole triggers a penalty — the board may freeze, or your current target may reset. Play carefully, but stay quick. A troublemaking mole called the Ghost also shows up on the board from time to time. Tap it by mistake and it will undo the match you just made — be careful! On the other hand, tapping the Miracle Mole "Mogld" instantly completes your current or upcoming target, making it a powerful ally. When time is almost up, the moles speed up and the stage enters Time Attack mode, keeping the tension high right to the very end. [Collect Moles in the Mole Encyclopedia] Every mole you meet while playing is automatically recorded in the Mole Encyclopedia. Even the free area has 6 types to discover, and all 25 types are waiting to be unlocked. Chase after the moles you haven't seen yet and push on to the next stage. [Safe for the Whole Family] No ads, no data collection — just simple, focused gameplay. Rated 4+, so it's safe and enjoyable for kids, adults, and everyone in between.

Orbit Grid

Lost in deep space without friction or tether — can you calculate the trajectory back to safety? Orbit Grid is a tactical zero-gravity sliding puzzle game where every directional swipe sends your astronaut gliding continuously across the cosmos until an obstacle, another crew member, or a designated docking pod halts their drift. Beware: with no boundary walls, a single miscalculated thrust can send your crew drifting into the deep void! KEY FEATURES: • ZERO-GRAVITY TRAJECTORY ENGINE: Master momentum and inertia. Slide up, down, left, and right, calculating stop points and coordinating precise paths across dense orbital grids. • TWO-ASTRONAUT TACTICS:: Coordinate multiple astronauts (Orion & Nova). Maneuver one crew member to act as a dynamic stopping block for the other to reach previously unreachable docking coordinates. • PROGRESSIVE CAMPAIGN: Advance through diverse orbital sectors ranging from compact 5x5 tactical drills up to massive, brain-bending 9x9 void labyrinths. • PRECISION & Oā‚‚ CONSTRAINTS: Plan ahead to beat the PAR move count and conserve critical oxygen supplies. Earn stars by executing flawless, optimal routes. • MINIMALIST SCI-FI AESTHETIC: Immerse yourself in clean vector visuals, atmospheric space ambient soundscapes, and intuitive tactile swipe controls. No clocks, no timers — pure tactical logic. Chart your course and bring your crew home.
