Mole Hunter

You control a mallet, following your mouse cursor across the screen. Your job is to protect a garden by whacking moles as they pop up from their holes. They appear at random, sometimes alone and sometimes in quick succession. The main objective is to score as many points as possible before time runs out. A recognizable mechanic is the combo system; hitting several moles in rapid succession multiplies your score. The pacing starts slow but quickly becomes frantic as more holes become active. The difficulty comes from the moles' speed and the need to react instantly to their brief appearances. It feels like a test of simple, focused reflexes.
