About A Mole in a Hole
You get to look at the map first, and after that you dig from memory, which makes this a memory game at its core.
The goal is to bring the mole back to the safety of its molehill. Along the way the tunnels have hazards you need to steer around, and the clock keeps running the whole time, so you have to remember the way and move fast.

The mole and its underground tunnels are drawn in a simple pixel art style. The challenge comes from two things at once: a route you can only see before you start, and a timer that does not wait while you try to recall it.
Key features
- You see the tunnel map only before you start digging.
- You guide a forgetful mole home to its molehill.
- A timer runs while you dig, which gives it a quick arcade pace.
- Hazards in the tunnels have to be avoided on the way.
- You can play with the arrow keys or the mouse.
Tips & tricks
- While the map is up, memorize the key turns rather than every single tunnel. It saves time once you start digging.
- Note where the hazards sit on your route, so you can plan a way around them before the clock starts to matter.
- Pick the control that feels more precise for you, since the game asks you to be both quick and accurate.
