ABOUT BONK! THE MOLE SHOW
1BONK! The Mole Show is a pixel-art whack-a-mole roguelite where you only choose where the hammer stands, and one correct BONK can set off half the machine.
2A carnival whack-a-mole machine scrolls toward you; you slide a hammer between columns and it strikes automatically when a row reaches the line. Between strikes you draft hammer modules, special moles, prizes and chemistry recipes that turn every hit into a chain reaction.
5BONK! takes the oldest arcade game at the fair and turns it into a run-based build-crafting roguelite. The machine scrolls down and the hammer BONKs on its own; the only decision is which column gives you the best next hit. Tesla moles arc lightning, bombs blow up their neighbours, magnets pull targets into line, golden moles multiply the score, and curated chemistry recipes such as Overload (Tesla + Bomb) link pieces into new behaviours. Keep the crowd entertained across six shows and six bosses, or the Audience walks out and it is SHOW OVER. Same controls from minute one to minute twenty; the depth is all in the build.
FEATURES
- ONE DECISIONMove the hammer; it strikes by itself. Readable at a glance, deep after fifty runs.
- CHAIN REACTIONSLightning, blasts, magnets, gold, fire and water: one BONK can trigger 40+ hits.
- CHEMISTRY + RESONANCEHand-made recipes between pairs of pieces create new behaviours; mutate both and they resonate.
- LEVEL, MUTATE, BONDEvery piece levels up, then picks one of two mutations or a chemistry bond.
- SIX SHOWS, SIX BOSSESEach fair has its own rules and a boss with one board mechanic: no bullets, still only the hammer.
- AUDIENCE IS YOUR HPEscaped moles bore the crowd. One great chain wins them back.
