Kinda creepy and really fun :) you really had me at the zoom out effect :D
The electricity(?) shooting off the 'moles' was just... wrong. :D
Very funny! I liked the way you introduced the character and thereby made it a tutorial. The graphics weren't terrible, but weren't incredible to stare at. The game play was pretty cool, but there's no reason to not just spam the spacebar over and over again, which made my thumb tired. It would have been much better to just be able to hold it down since there was no cooldown on the attack anyway. The difficulty scaled really fast, I got to 120 moles and instantly died. Pretty fun game, well done!
Hah, the zoom out really surprised me! Quick question, is the signal just a time limit or is it actually affected by how many moles are on the surface?
It's affected by the number of moles on screen doing their electricity thing!
The music is awesome! And the camera movement revealing the rest of the map was also pretty good. Pretty and simple, good job :)
Awesome! This was really fun. I was so eager to know what happens in the end. ^^
AMAZING! The tutorial character bio was fantastic, the moles were cute and then became extremely menacing, the zooming out was brilliantly done, and the congregation leading to poor phone signal was bonkers! The Overlord called, and it wasn't good news! :D
Very fun game, short, but very fun. I did notice a little bug: whenever you whack a mole right before it starts emitting radio wave, the mole disappears but the wave stays until you whack it. Good job :)
what a twist!, really cool idea and hitting the "moles" was entertaining
I got the hang of it after my first game, but I only managed to get 100 points, I can see that no one else has posted their highscore D:<

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want to place in the final results, you NEED votes. The easiest way to get votes is by rating other games. Judging lasts for 3 weeks following the end of Ludum Dare. For best effect, rate 20 games as soon as possible. Rating more games is encouraged.
MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
I love the camera work. and pixel arts are so cute!
