Slow Mole+
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
Slow Mole+ is out now! The game is finally 100% complete.
Better than ever! More incredible music by chiptune prodigy Linus Rosenlund! Subtly improved mechanics. New secret sections with new chiptunes and new enemies. Take different routes trough the game depending on you playstyle (and if you can find them)!
Launched in 2021 for the NES, Slow Mole is a highly challenging but rewarding platformer with a unique checkpoint system; you can get a checkpoint on any screen in the game, but only if you beat the timer. Be ready for some crazy clutch plays when you fail to get checkpoints several screens in a row and then pull off some crazy stunt to finally get one (or fail and get sent back several screens). Regardless, it's a platformer quite unlike anything else, where everything is lightning fast, except you.
The difficulty affects the timer and if the harder alternative levels are accessible.

Thank you for this, this is my tribute...
Thanks! Nice video! Check out the trailer for a clue on how to beat that level...
Very nice game. Our German-language review can be found in our recorded livestream starting at 02:21:27. Subscription to our YouTube or Twitch channel is welcome. 🙂
The fact that the trailer is Nightmare Fuel makes it an instant Classic!
Excellent game ! and that horror music in game is really appropiate.
Nice Retro feeling! (Titus the Fox on timer and steroids!)
Finished the game on easy.
Then on normal (and mecha lvl).
Then on (skull) hard (and mecha lvl).
Some youngsters cried about how hard the game is.
It was time for the old fox to shine again.
Thank you for the victory from the past over the future!
Thank you for the super (hard) experience!
Thank you for the opportunitiy to win the respect of the young!
Old Mole walks slower but lives longer!
Thank you! Well played indeed! I fear few players make it that far. Keep an eye out if you want more, eventually I'll finish the Slow Mole + version!
I'm loving this game so HARD!!
And "hard" being a key word here... Damn! This is my kind of game, so much fun - yet so thumb thumpin difficult!! But everything about this game is awesome... The music, the graphics, the gameplay, the level design, and the freakin amazing trailer videos you have been making!
Thanks so much for making this!
Thank you for playing! Comments like this make the hard work worth it! The cartridge version will feature a few extras, including one more chip tune track that Linus just finished. And work on the Slow Mole+ version continues, but that won't be finished until possibly some time next year.
Claymation Trailer 2:
Updated Famicom prototype in action. A unique board of our own design.
Amazing work! Idea for a sequel - Swole Mole :D
Looking forward to grabbing a cart version, whenever they're available!
Great to hear! We're doing a limited release first, based on the Famicom prototype cart, that we designed:
Later this year there's also going to be a release of SlowMole+ with a more advanced cart with some unique hardware features. More info in this thread: https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/8283-slow-mole-for-nes/Definitely picking up that SlowMole+ version!
cute game! I cant get past a certain point though.
If it's close to the start I can guess on which screen. There might be a hint in the trailer, otherwise you can always check what the speedrunners do https://www.speedrun.com/slow_mole
lo descargué , se ve bueno
This is great! Congratulations.
Thank you! I would be amazing if it can reach players into this sort of game.
Cool game! But very hard. Here's an alternative box cover.
This looks so good! At the same time really challenging! Definetely gonna try it! Love the commercial!
I'm gonna try it! Thanks!
Great Game!
