Great game. I was patient enough to eat it all. Superb ending : )

agreon 2014-04-28 18:06

Pretty cool, Didn't expect the 'hill' to turn out to be the entire world, so that was pretty funny. Nice job on this, looks well polished.

Great game, I really enjoyed it.

derosa 2014-04-28 18:13

Haha, great game! I also managed to see the grand finale an it put a smile on my face. Thanks!

Not a very original concept, though still an enjoyable game. What I really missed in this game is a losing condition. Games become boring really fast by not being able to lose. In this game you just bump into enemies bigger than you, which is good because sometimes it is not entirely clear who you can eat or not, but there is not really a challenge in this game and thus the biggest part is not getting bored and reach the amazing ending.

accidental commentary on the consumer culture paradigm? Hilarious and fun :)

rubna 2014-04-28 18:14

really awesome game, I loved the text and how big you are at the end!
Great job!

tinykidtoo 2014-04-28 18:15

That was a fun short game. I loved the graphics.

foofur 2014-04-28 18:15

Woohoo! Found someone who made mole game just like me! I love it! Looks absolutely polished, and the concept is amazing. One tiny little thing; I thought the animation of his paws looked a bit weird. But overall, it's totally worth five stars!

phi 2014-04-28 18:17

I love it! Simple concept, but highly satisfying to play. The little "story" behind it is great, too. If you add more levels/planets to it, it would be even more awesomer!

raulincze 2014-04-28 18:17

Hah... I couldn't wait to eat the core of the Earth since the moment I've seen it. This was fun. I want a sequel on an alien planet!

tiffi 2014-04-28 18:18

This was fun, reminded me of the first stage from spore. Very nice graphics!

mintarcade 2014-04-28 18:55

Yummy game. Nice use of trails.

bakpakin 2014-04-28 19:36

I really like the mood of the game, the simple animation, and the ending anding starting dialogs. Feels nice and polished :)

micdoodle8 2014-04-28 19:36

Very cool game! Great music and concept. Reminded me of Spore :)

fyberoptic 2014-04-28 19:37

It may have been short, but it was definitely fun while it lasted. I enjoy that Spore aspect of gameplay, of getting larger and being able to consume the things that were once huge to you. The graphics were really nice, and I like how you confined the mole within the circular planet. Gives you a fun sense of scale of how much you grew. I would be interested to see how this concept could evolve. Great job, regardless!

rose 2014-04-28 19:37

This is really fun! I don't think you need a lose condition. It's just fun and satisfying to get bigger and bigger, and the end is great.

jcvsmc 2014-04-28 19:38

I wondered where this game was going at first and then when I realized I loved it xD very cool, really fun, cute ending :)

tombofry 2014-04-28 19:41

Really like the simplicity of this game, it's actually quite zen like

quade81 2014-04-28 19:44

This was really Awesome. Much more than I was expecting.

smilingcat 2014-04-28 19:45

This reminded me a lot of Katamari or Tasty Planet.

gins 2014-04-28 20:32

Totally not what I expected, but I left with a smile :)

andrewshouldice 2014-04-29 00:06

I did a little bit of research after playing your game and I don't think you understand the eating habits and growth rates of moles.

lonewookie 2014-04-29 00:06

Love it! Reminds me of Osmos and Katamari Damacy.

andrewshouldice 2014-04-29 00:07

But seriously, great work. :) "Bite sized", and quite fun.

benmcnelly 2014-04-29 00:47

Short and sweet, perfect execution. Also super cute.

terraco 2014-04-29 09:06

Short, sweet, and I'll have nightmares now. Thanks

adamwoolridge 2014-04-29 09:22

Nice little game! Totally playable :) Could do with some danger/challenge though.

lanoiadimuu 2014-04-29 10:18

Great game, so relaxing to play.
It reminds me Flow.

robber 2014-04-29 13:03

dj_pale 2014-04-29 16:24

Nice execution! Consistent art style and a fun story to wrap it up. Good work!

danidre14 2014-04-29 19:46

Loved it good work you did there.

daskaund 2014-04-30 20:14

great game !

gettothechapel 2014-05-01 09:26

really fun to play, but you cant really die so it is a little too easy :) nonetheless i love the concept that you need to grow to consume bigger foes!

tenpn 2014-05-02 18:58

Not particularly replayable, but very polished and fun to play through once. Katamari-like.

crocantidepollo 2014-05-03 18:04

I became Moleactus, eater of worlds... And it was fun! Haha! nice ending!

woodenrabbit 2014-05-13 02:56

Its impressive that you got so much done in so little time.

The game ended up being quite enjoyable, more so than I had thought from the initial images. But I really actually enjoyed it. The graphics look great and worked really well with it. I'm also really glad you put in the beginning and ending text/scenes because it help give the game closure.

Well done!
