Whack'a'mole

Whack’a’mole is a 2D rougelike turn-based RPG where players control a party of rats to raid and conquer the moles’ base.  Inside this seemingly ordinary base lies a secret that the moles have kept hidden. The game takes place in a fantasy setting where ratsand moles are sentient beings that are blessed with magical powers and are constantly fighting each other for territory. 

The comical artstyle of Whack’a’mole creates a whimsical feel of the game world. Despite being the smaller species, the rats had crafted magical bullets that drastically improved their combat capabilities. By taking advantage of elemental reactions that are amplified by magical bullets, the rats can defeat and conquer the larger moles, thus making them the dominant species of the caves.
