Mole Patrol

Bop the moles as they pop up — but each one wears a color, and only the matching hit counts.

How to play

Moles pop out of their holes faster and faster across a 60-second run. Each mole appears in one of four colors, and you score only by striking it with the matching color. Pick the wrong color and you take a penalty and break your combo — and watch out for the bombs hidden among them.

• Match the mole's color to score; mismatches cost you and snap your streak.
• Chain correct hits to build a combo bonus.
• Never hit a bomb — it's an instant penalty. Speed ramps up as the clock ticks down.

Controls

• Desktop: press a color key (R / Y / G / B) while pointing at a hole (number keys 1-9 select holes), or pick a color swatch then click the hole.
• Phone & tablet: tap a color swatch, then tap the hole — fully touch-supported.

Tips & strategy

• Keep your fingers on the four color keys so you can react the instant a mole appears.
• Protect your combo — a careful correct hit beats a fast wrong one.
• Scan for bombs before you commit; one mistaken bomb tap can wreck a great run.

Origins

Mole Patrol is a nod to the whack-the-mole reflex game, a carnival staple that became an arcade and electronic-toy mainstay — pop-up targets to bop faster and faster, with decoys to avoid. Pure, primal reaction-testing.
