I almost made a game like this but it was going to be horrible lovecraftian worms and such bursting forth and you'd have to burn them.

The artwork is really good, and I especially love the mole popping in and out animation.  I think it's a little frustrating to time the bomb explosion to when I thought a mole would appear.  I was essentially throwing bombs at random.  But you did a good job with scaling the difficulty - one mole, then several moles on one side of you, then moles all over."},{"author_name":"stvr","author_uid":"26473","time":"May 4, 2014 @ 3:24am","epoch":1399173540,"text":"That adorable paraplegic is really vicious towards those moles!"},{"author_name":"MaesK","author_uid":"30782","time":"May 4, 2014 @ 12:43pm","epoch":1399207080,"text":"Nice whack-a-mole! Bombs can fix everything everywhere in gaming :D \r<br\/>\r<br\/>I got confused with controls, I didn't thought you can control the direction of bombs with the mouse position, so the moles defeated me easily.
