Tap the moles

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

  1. A round lasts 30 seconds.
  2. A mole is worth 10 points; a bomb removes 20.
  3. Scores never fall below zero.

Strategy tips

  • Use number keys for speed.
  • A missed mole costs nothing; bombs do.

What we tested

Review checks thirty-second timing, one active object, mole and bomb scoring, zero score floor, number-key mapping from top-left to bottom-right, touch targets, disabled input after finish, restart and best score.
