This is a hot, unique Game Boy puzzle gem.

You play as a mole who can "win" each level by throwing bowling balls at the exits.

Each level contains a bunch of screens, each serving as a mini-puzzle. These puzzles are solved by digging holes, navigating the underground and surface, and hitting the exit with your bowling ball.

The scoring system is very satisfying: if you fully complete a level (clear all screens and get all items) you get 100 points. This feels good.

I did this (got all 100 points) for the first four levels and then sort of lost interest. While I was loving the gameplay I felt pretty satisfied after four levels and things were starting to become just a little bit tedious. There is no rewind feature so if you dig a hole in the wrong place or throw a ball in the wrong spot you potentially need to start over the screen, which does get pretty tiresome.

Overall, this thing is a real good time and I love that it has its own special Super Game Boy border.
