Mole Whack Arcade Screensaver
The Mole Whack Arcade screensaver is a self-playing, attract-mode tribute to the classic whack-a-mole cabinet. It is free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
How the Mole Whack Arcade screensaver works
Moles pop up at random from a grid of holes, staying up briefly before ducking back down.
A self-timed hammer swings down to strike moles just after they surface, adding to the score.
The pace gradually quickens, exactly like the arcade original's escalating difficulty.
All art and names here are original, in the spirit of the genre rather than a copy of any one cabinet.
A worked example
A mole pops up in the corner just as the hammer catches it mid-rise, sending a satisfying scoring flash across the board.
