Mole Rancher: Out of Control

It's been years since C. Rodney's been on the ranch, but he's the first person they call when something goes wrong. With his trusty control rod in hand, he's here to ranch some moles and get this reactor back under control!

Controls

Use the mouse to move Rodney into position, then click to swing his control rod to clear up the molecules before they trigger a chain reaction. Hold to charge for a bigger swing, but you'll be unable to move while you do so! Try to survive and rack up a highscore by taking out as many of those moles as you can!

TL;DR: Point and click!

Known Issues

The web build can take a while load, so please be patient. If the game doesn't seem to be displaying correctly then try refreshing the page or trying a different browser. All assets are preloaded before the menu spawns so once the game is running there shouldn't be any issues.

Also, the audio can sometimes stutter, though this is just due to the processing limitations of the web build. If you find this too off-putting, try the downloadable version! 

Sometimes fast molecules can clip through Rodney's bat. His world is 3D, he probably just missed...

Additional Notes

Made in 9 days for Bevy Jam #6, with the theme "Chain Reaction".

Source code available on Github! Excuse the working title, I was too afraid of last minute build issues to change any project/file names.

Untested on Linux and MacOS, though downloadable version should run faster than the web version. If you run into any issues, let me know and I will try my best to help!
