It's a fun game, but the mole surfaces once to find the apple, then he never has to resurface again until he wins.

Do the hunters get to see the paths the mole has dug? (I haven't played as a hunter.) That can help the hunters get an advantage.

I think it's a game that could use some improvements to be made very good.

took some time to figure out how to work this game (also my screen resolution cut off the instructions at the bottom, that might have helped) :p First time I played a mole!

Nice original concept. Well done getting multiplayer working (with editable terrain even!) in the 48 hour timeframe (though I didn't try multiplayer myself).

Really interesting premise, but realiszation could be a little better. And disability to restart the game without reloading the page sucks :)

@CustomPhase: You can press Esc to restart. It was only in the controls beneath the player. Now also in Description.

@Seppel: The mole has limited vision. When he goes to the surfaces he can only "smell" it and see the direction. It is just a projection of the apple, not the apple itself, which is pretty far away.

Well, it will be fun to try it out with a friend.
As for the solo-play, I don't know if there is an objective other than surviving. Maybe arcade-like, but I think it misses a score thing (timer or something).

@muramasa: Get the apple ;)

I want this game on LAN, with twenty players, 10 Vs 10. Great idea ;)

Original concept! I'm also quite impressed that it is multiplayer (although i could'nt test it).

Interesting concept - I got hit by a spade quite a lot!
