strange game but I like a bang hahaahhahahaha
solid entry. love the retro style visuals. I feel like the moles would disappear too fast, or maybe I'm just bad
Thanks for the review, your not bad definitely a bug that needed to be fixed.
Very fun. I like that it's whack-a-mole. Was expecting to have an animation for the whacking of the moles. But I do like that you just hit them and look around with the camera. Very nicely done.
This is a fun and nostalgic take on whack-a-mole the retro visuals are charming, and the gameplay loop gets more engaging as the difficulty ramps up. That said, the camera-based controls felt a bit disorienting at times, and moving the whole view to land a hit could easily cause motion sickness. A keyboard-based approach might smooth things out and keep the action flowing. The moles also popped up a little slowly, and there’s room to tighten the pacing.
Still, it’s a solid jam entry with a lot of old-school charm. And hey, since I do know a thing or two about moles (after all, I’m MoleHoleGames), you can take my word that this was a cool idea worth building on. While we’re at it, I’d love if you also checked out the game I submitted
A solid game. Something about moving the camera made me feel a bit ill though, perhaps it was having to move the entire camera to hit the mole. I also noticed that you can kind of cheese the game by hitting the same mole a bunch of times to wrack up points. The moles also pop up a bit slowly. How did you incorporate the theme?
Nostalgia hitted hard! Nice idea, I would try controling the rotation with the keyboard tho, maybe it will help reducing motion sickness. All in all, good job :)
I like the retro graphics, but I would suggest on a better control with maze. :)
Controlling mace with camera isn't that a good idea for players with motion sickness.
But congrats on completing your game.
Interesting controls. I don't quite understand the connection to the theme. Good Job!
Reminds me of the old games i played in DVDs! Like these visuals. I dont think holding to move your camera was the best idea since it complicates the gameplay. But overall is great
Great game. I like the old-style graphics. The gameplay loop is fun, and I like that it gets increasingly difficult as you go on. Well done dude, be proud :D
