How is the score calculated?

Each mole starts at 10 points multiplied by the difficulty bonus, with additional combo multipliers (up to 3 levels) for consecutive hits without misses.

Can I change difficulty mid-game?

Difficulty buttons are locked while a round is active. Stop the game or wait for the timer to finish, then choose a new difficulty before starting again.

How do combo bonuses work?

Every successful whack raises your combo level up to 3, boosting your score multiplier. Missing or letting a mole escape resets the combo.

Are my stats saved between visits?

High scores are saved locally in your browser for each difficulty. Accuracy, streaks, and other metrics reset when you leave or clear the page.
