Treasure Mole 1.1

The first thing you need to know about Treasure Mole is what it is and what it can do for you. I will try to provide you with a brief and to the point explanation that will hopefully help you understand what to expect from this application. Here goes: Treasure Mole is an arcade game for Windows, game published by Alawar Entertainment. You control a mole and you have to collect all the gold nuggets and/or destroy all the enemies to progress to the next level.

The game has a grand total of 90 levels. To pass from one level to another you will sometimes have to gather all the gold nuggets, other times you will have to destroy a certain number of enemies, and other times you will have to do both. There’s a panel in the right corner that shows you what you have to do to complete a level.

You will get extra points if you gather gems and minerals. The points you managed to accumulate are displayed at the bottom of the screen. Get enough points and you can make it to the Hall of Fame. The number of lives you have left is also displayed at the bottom.

After you download and install the game on your computer, you will be able to play it free of charge for a trial period of 60 minutes (1 hour). After that trial period is over, you will have to get a license to keep playing the game.

You need to know that during the installation process the game asks to change your search engine to Ask.com and your homepage to Ask.com.
