Mole: The First Scavange is a casual puzzle game where your goal is to draw the most efficient path for a hungry mole.
Using your mouse in this browser-based game, you'll create a burrow for the mole to travel, collecting all the vegetables in each level. It's a game of skill and planning that rewards clever, direct routes similar to classic pathfinding challenges.
Controlling the mole is simple and intuitive. You just need your mouse to play. To start a level, you click and hold the left mouse button on the mole, then drag your cursor to draw a path.
Your line will show the route the mole will take underground. You must connect to all the vegetables on the screen in one continuous line.
Once you're happy with your path, release the mouse button, and watch him zip through the dirt to collect his meal.
The main challenge in Mole: The First Scavange isn't just feeding the mole-it's doing it efficiently. Each level rates your performance with a star system. The shorter and more direct your path, the more stars you'll earn, with three stars being a perfect score.
This means you need to think like an engineer, finding the shortest possible distance between multiple points. Avoid unnecessary curves and long detours to maximize your score and prove your puzzle-solving skills.
As you progress, the puzzles become more complex. Early levels might just have one or two vegetables to collect, but soon you'll face layouts with multiple items scattered across the screen.
You'll also encounter underground rocks and other obstacles that you must navigate around, making a direct path impossible.
Part of the strategy becomes determining the best order to collect the vegetables to keep your burrow as short as possible.
You can play Mole: The First Scavange for free directly in your web browser. There's no need for any downloads or installations.
Since it's an HTML5 game, it runs on most modern devices and networks, including those at school or work, allowing you to get a quick puzzle session in anytime.
The goal in Mole: The First Scavange is to help the mole collect all the vegetables in each level by drawing the shortest possible path for him to burrow.
To play, use your mouse. Position the cursor over the mole, then left click and hold. Drag the cursor to draw a line that connects the mole to all of the vegetables on the screen.
Once you have drawn a complete path to all the food, release the left click. The mole will automatically follow the path you created. Your score is based on the path's length, so shorter is always better.
As you advance, levels will include obstacles you must draw around and require you to figure out the most efficient order to collect multiple vegetables.
Plan Your Route - Before you click and drag, look at the level layout and mentally trace the shortest possible path. Straight Lines are Best - The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Aim for direct routes between vegetables whenever possible.
Order of Operations - On levels with several vegetables, think about which order you should collect them in to create the shortest total line.
Hug the Corners - When you must go around an obstacle, make your turn as sharp and close to the corner as possible to save distance. Restart for Perfection - Don't settle for a one or two-star run.
If your path is messy, hit the restart button and try again for a perfect score.
