About Pesky Moles

A farmer, a vegetable patch, and a mole population that has decided the harvest belongs to them. Each round hands you a fixed stretch of time to defend the garden, and moles keep surfacing in places you cannot possibly cover at once. You will always be late to something.

What lifts it above a plain reaction test is the economy behind it. Coins come from moles dealt with and, more to the point, from crops that survive to the end of the round. Spend those coins on traps and the next round changes shape, because parts of the garden begin defending themselves and free you up to watch the rest.

How to play

Keep the moles off the vegetables until the round timer runs out. Deal with whatever surfaces, buy traps between rounds, and let the traps handle the corners you cannot reach in time.

Controls

  • Click straight onto a mole to deal with it, and click the buttons for the shop and round options.
  • On a touchscreen, tap in exactly the same places.

Tips

  • A mole beside an untouched vegetable is worth more than one out in the open, because saved crops feed the payout.
  • Position traps where two mole holes sit close together, not where you happen to be looking most often.
  • Do not chase. Park the pointer near the densest part of the patch and let them come to you.
