Those moles are evil!! Good game!

Nice!! But it's too hard at my mind) Moles must die)))

I'm trying to branch out from diving games. I almost made a game like this but it was going to be horrible lovecraftian worms and such bursting forth and you'd have to burn them. Then I realized that was a huge part of the terrible ALONE IN THE DARK remake from 2008 which I bought for full price. Ugh!

I do enjoy a good mole bombing every once in a while. I couldn't figure out where the hitboxes were on those darn moles though, i'd see it explode right overtop of them, but they kept on living.

Well done

I got to level 3, walked into my own bomb and got spat on... Oh well, at least I blew up some moles on the way...
Game looks great...!

Nice graphics. If I could give an advice, you should think about mapping the arrows for moving next time, because AZERTY players also exist :)

Very, hard, couldn't pass the second level. ALso, very repetitive and not very original.
That said, for a first game it's pretty decent.

Come on little girl, kill those evil, green spit flinging underground dwellers! Liking the graphics.

@pandavigoureux, sorry about that! We'll definitely include alternate control schemes in all our future games.

Very hard, but a cool idea :) Whack-the-Mole, I have played a million times, but Bomb-The-Mole is new :)

Nice game! but kinda tricky.

Nice graphics

This gets hard really fast :P
Looks great though!

Nice art. The hitbox of the character is maybe too big.

baknik 2014-05-01 04:34

It was a bit hard to figure out where the bomb would land, but great job overall!

Nice graphics!

Hey, congrats on completing your first game (this was my first LD as well)! The artwork is really good, and I especially love the mole popping in and out animation. I think it's a little frustrating to time the bomb explosion to when I thought a mole would appear. I was essentially throwing bombs at random. But you did a good job with scaling the difficulty - one mole, then several moles on one side of you, then moles all over.

That adorable paraplegic is really vicious towards those moles!

maesk 2014-05-04 12:43

Nice whack-a-mole! Bombs can fix everything everywhere in gaming :D

I got confused with controls, I didn't thought you can control the direction of bombs with the mouse position, so the moles defeated me easily. Now I'll make them pay.

Good work!

Love the character-design :D

voider 2014-05-07 01:41

Liked having that delay in the bomb to explode. Level 3 is really hard!

gre 2014-05-10 20:51

Great concept! Nice improvement of the original whack-a-mole.
Very cool that the bomb can also kill your player and is part of the gameplay, you didn't miss that :-) And mole are firing snot! nice :-P
Graphics are sweet.

Firt level is too easy, the second one is crazy! Really nice looking game
