How to play

  • Press Start Game. You have 15 seconds; moles pop up at random holes and hide again quickly.
  • Click a hole while its mole is visible to score a point. The mole disappears when you hit it.
  • Your Score is how many clean taps you land before time runs out. The button disables during the round.
  • When the timer ends, your final score is shown. Press Start Game again for another sprint.

Game description

Targets flash into view across a grid of holes, linger briefly, then disappear whether you tapped them or not. The clock counts down; your score counts solid hits. Hesitation costs as much as wild flailing, because vanishing targets do not wait for second thoughts. The board rewards eyes that scan instead of stare, and hands that decide quickly once recognition lands.

This version is tuned for browsers: generous hit areas, simple start controls, and a layout that reads cleanly on small screens. There is nothing to configure before play—tap start and the burst window begins. Short rounds make it natural for pass-and-play duels on one device or for solo warm-ups before tighter games. Peripheral awareness, committing to a choice instead of hovering between two holes, and shrugging off misses before the next pop appear are small reflex upgrades that show up directly on the score line.
