![]() ![]() I wouldn’t recommend rushing out to go and grab it now, but next time you head to the game store, keep a look out for this interesting little indie game. It is, at its heart, a puzzle game more than anything else, and it suits that audience. For many, Mole Control may prove to be just too slow in pacing to be very enjoyable. The story itself is simple in nature, making it a great game to play with young children. A rotor on the top of the buggy lets you fly around, but the controls here are lacklustre. Monty Moles could be found on Donut Plains tracks, and hitting one would not necessarily make you lose all your speed right away, but they would latch on to you. The levels are also quite large, and retracing your steps, one painstakingly lengthy square at a time, can be tedious. This brings me to one of the major issues with the game some levels are very long, there’s no mid-game saving and you only get 3 incorrect guesses of where moles are hidden- any more than that and you will be booted right back to the start. Certain objects or obstacles might block your way, making it infuriatingly difficult to pinpoint a mole, or a fence might stand in your way. While the basic mechanic is that of Minesweeper, it’s the level design that sets Mole Control apart. If a number shows up on your kart, that number will stay on the ground once you move so that you can try to figure out where the mole is hiding. Also, once you’ve passed over a square the color of the grass will change to let you know you’ve safely passed over this point, so you won’t go back and cover ground you’ve already explored. ![]() Using logic and a bit of cunning you can eventually work out exactly where the moles are hidden. When you move, a small grid around you shows you how many mines (sorry, moles) you are touching. The whole game is quite simply a revamp of the classic Windows game Minesweeper. You are then tasked with removing the moles from peoples gardens in a place called Molar Creek, which unsurprisingly has a small issue with moles. You will need to spend a little more if you want to unlock additional tracks and features throughout the game via in-app purchases. In Mole Control you take charge of a person sitting in what can only be described as a cross between a large rodent and a flying car. Mole Kart is currently available for 2.99 and is compatible with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPod touch (4th generation) and iPad it is a universal binary too. ![]()
