Tap the moles before they duck back down. Grab gold ones for bonus points — avoid the bombs.
Moles pop up at random from the nine holes and duck back down after a short moment. Tap or click a mole before it disappears to score points. Occasionally a golden mole appears — worth triple points — or a bomb, which costs you points if you tap it. You've got 30 seconds to score as much as you can.
Keep your eyes on the whole grid rather than staring at one hole — moles appear anywhere, and reaction time matters more than prediction. As the round goes on, moles pop up faster and stay up for less time, so don't get thrown off when the pace suddenly increases. It's almost always worth skipping a bomb even if it means missing the next mole; the point penalty is bigger than any single mole is worth.
What happens if I tap a bomb? You lose points and the hole flashes red — bombs are never worth tapping.
How much are golden moles worth? Three times a normal mole's points, but they appear rarely and only stay up briefly.
Does the game get harder over time? Yes — moles pop up more frequently and duck back down faster as the 30-second timer runs down.
