About Mole Mole
Mole Mole is a small sokoban puzzle game made in PICO-8, and its to-do list has two items on it: blow stuff up, then take a nap. Everything in between is the puzzle.
It plays on a grid, the way box-pushing puzzles do, so you think a few moves ahead before you shove anything. Explosions are part of the plan here, which gives the old formula a louder twist.
The art is chunky and bold, and the title screen offers Continue and New Game. You can play Mole Mole online here with a keyboard or a gamepad.
How to Play Mole Mole
- Click inside the game window so it takes your key presses.
- Choose New Game on the title screen, or Continue to pick up where you stopped.
- Move with the arrow keys.
- X and C are the two action keys. A gamepad works too.
- Work out an order of moves that lets you blow stuff up and still get your nap.
What to Expect in Mole Mole
Expect a compact, quiet puzzle game with a sense of humor. The premise fits in one line, and the joke comes from that pairing of destruction and sleep.
Like any good sokoban puzzle game, it rewards patience over speed. Play Mole Mole free here when you want a short brain teaser that needs only the arrow keys and two buttons.
Tips for Mole Mole
- Before you push, picture where each piece will end up. In box-pushing puzzles, one shove into a corner can leave a level stuck.
- Think about what an explosion will clear before you set it off.
- Work backward from the goal. Picturing the last move first often shows you which piece has to move first.
- Use Continue on the title screen to return to a puzzle later instead of starting over.
- If you have a gamepad, use it. A d-pad suits grid movement nicely.
