The Mole Knocker

Desktop only

Description

The Mole Knocker is a fresh spin on the classic whack-a-mole idea, rebuilt with chunky 3D low-poly visuals and matching sound effects. Moles pop up from their holes, and you swing a big sledgehammer to bonk them before they duck back down. The rules are simple but they keep you honest. Hitting a mole earns points, while smashing an empty hole costs you points, so wild, random swinging works against you. Success depends on keeping your eyes on the field and reacting the moment a mole appears. You can play on your own or invite a friend for a two-player split-screen match on the same device, with each player using a separate set of controls. That makes it a nice pick for a quick head-to-head at home. Whether you play solo or against someone sitting next to you, rounds are short, easy to understand and fun for all ages.

How to play

1Choose between the 1-player mode and the 2-player split-screen mode.
2Player 1 moves the hammer with W, A, S and D or with the mouse.
3Player 2 uses the arrow keys on the same keyboard.
4Hit moles as they appear to score, and avoid hitting empty holes, which loses points.

Tips

Wait until a mole is actually visible before swinging; misses on empty holes add up fast.
Keep your hammer near the center so you can reach any hole quickly.
In split-screen, agree on who uses which keys before starting to avoid confusion.
