Game Instructions

SETUP:
Connect the Blinks in any arrangement, so long as they are connected. Double-click any Blink to begin the game.
Any mole that completely disappears into the grass will end the game, and the cluster will flash red. In addition, a player who gets three strikes will end the game. Double-click any Blink to return to setup and double-click once more to try again.

GAMEPLAY:
During the game, waves of red moles will pop out of the ground. Moles pop up fully red, but countdown quickly before fading to black. Before they disappear back underground completely, a player must click a mole to “whack” it. The mole will flash white, then that Blink will return to normal.

As the game progress, waves of moles will appear and disappear faster and faster. If at any time a player whacks a Blink that has no mole on it, they get a “strike,” shown as a flash across the garden.

WIN CONDITION:
If you are able to last for 30 rounds, the garden will flash white and you win! Double-click any Blink to return to setup. Double-click to start
