What is distinct here
This quick reaction game adapts the familiar target-whacking format with a clear bomb penalty and a complete 1–9 keyboard map. Missed targets do not punish the player, keeping accuracy and restraint more valuable than random tapping.
Rules
- A round lasts 30 seconds.
- A mole is worth 10 points; a bomb removes 20.
- Scores never fall below zero.
Strategy tips
- Use number keys for speed.
- A missed mole costs nothing; bombs do.
What we tested

Frequently asked questions
