​Hello everyone, welcome to Taupattack (moleattack)!

In our game you play as a small man dressed up as a "papa mole." Your mission is to take care of a horde of cute baby moles rushing towards you, craving love. Once you've successfully given them love, they transform into hearts, which you can collect to score points.

The game revolves around using various actions to give love :

Caress: A simple, gentle touch to give love directly.
Haribomb: An area attack where you throw a Haribo bomb that showers baby moles with affection.
The Holy Hand Cookie: A cookie-shaped boomerang that returns to you, warming up moles in its path.
U.F.O.reo: An Oreo disc that constantly spins around you, spreading happiness to nearby moles.

The goal of the game is to collect as many hearts as possible while strategically using these actions to spread maximum love!

WASD to move (or whatever is WASD on your keyboard)

very nice, cool implementation inspired by Vampires Survival, I encountered a couple of visual bugs but otherwise the game is good, although very short ![Снимок экрана 2024-10-08 004340.png](///raw/248/43/z/67017.png)![Снимок экрана 2024-10-08 004116.png](///raw/248/43/z/6701e.png)

Why is the cover art one of the cutest things I have ever seen, I absolutely "awwwed" out loud at the little moles hugging papa mole and to be honest even if I lost immediately that would be ok cause all I want to do is hug the little moles <3

Pff that's such an adorable idea! The fact the receiving "damage" actually makes you win because that's all the love enveloping you... Quite unique! The art is just - magnificent. Perfection. CUTE!!! >v<

Absolutely adorable! Took me a minute to figure out how to not pass out of love in 19 seconds but I got it. Overall super cute and wholesome, or shall I say MOLEsome? Hahaha.

Adorable art and concept! I love the twist that losing = winning ^^ I had a bit of a hard time understanding the gameplay until I saw the first comment that said 'Vampire survivor' :p Maybe some prompts saying which button to use could help clarify. Great work~

i like the simple game concept :) the artstyle is also super cute. I didn't quite understand what I had to do at first, but I liked that I won and was cuddled to death^^

Very cute artstyle, I like it a lot! :smile:

I was just standing around with 3 oreo upgrades and gave up thinking there is no end, then I saw other people's screenshots :sweat_smile:

Very cute game! I really like that you "win" because you get too much love. The art is very cute and I had an overall really nice time playing with it. Gameplay wise it can get a bit difficult sometimes since you cant really hit above or below you but the upgrades mostly make up for it. In any case, good job on your entry!

I love the art style and the big swarms of moles are so cute. And the mechanic of cuddling the mole hordes was great too, as well as the upgrades!
