60 of 144 · most liked firstMail Mole has been such a charming experience, I loved every bit of it. The characters are lovely, the levels aren't too challenging and they are visually delightful. There are more than 30 levels, 8 races and a lot of character customization. The controls feel tight, and they invite you to tackle the time challenges and the races against the "mecha-moles", robotic versions of yourself Overall it's such a wholesome experience, enjoyable for both children and adults
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dear speedrunners, this one might be for you, but I absolutely hate this game! Everything from the controls to the childish story is bad. I can't for the life of me figure out which age group this game is for. It seems extremely childish, in the worst way possible, but yet the time challenges are brutal when combined with the horrid controls. I was hoping for a game somewhat like Super Luckys Tale, with the borrowing and all, but I got an unbalanced mess of a game with total useless prizes in…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Okay, so, let me start this by saying there's nothing really wrong with this game in terms of its raw gameplay. Levels are designed fine, controls work very well and there's no glitches at least as far as I know. But this game just feels so half-baked that I can't recommend it. In short: It's a low-budget Super Mario 3D World that encourages speedrunning or at least getting the best time score in its short 21 levels. This is great, if you like speedrunning that is. If you're like me and find…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A 3D platformer that stands out above all for its fantastic level design. There are 8 worlds and in each one there is at least some aspect that differentiates it from the rest. Within each world, there are also 4 different levels between them, with a well scaled difficulty. The first world introduces you to the controls of Molty, although the second world is when things get interesting, introducing the rotating platforms. My favorite world is definitely the snowy one, where there is already…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was enjoying this game at the start, it's a neat idea for a platformer where you're digging around rather than walking. But for me the character just wasn't really fun to control by the end and that's pretty important for a platformer. It's hard to tell where Molty is when you're moving save for a trail, the skateboard-style "hold jump to jump" just didn't feel good (especially in later stages when you have shockwaves combined with platforms that appear and disappear whenever you jump), and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Had a chance to try the Demo and I just confirmed my impressions with the full game. A colorful fun experience with some challenging levels towards the end. Recomended for fans of the genere.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm a huge fan of 3D platformers in general but this one just doesn't work for a few reasons. Two big issues I noticed right away are that mole moves too slowly and the base jump is pitiful. You have to hold the jump button to charge a super jump, but there is no reason you'd ever want to not jump as high as possible so you constantly have to hold the jump button after every jump. It really throws off the flow of the game. They need to just eliminate that and make him jump higher. He also moves…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Follow my curator group for more Indie impressions: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/39817810-Indietiative.com-Indie-Game-Impressions-/ Talk I had with the developer over some original gameplay footage: https://youtu.be/WbhtZBkjFN0 At its core, Mail Mole is a 3D platformer heavily inspired by Super Mario 3D World, but after playing it for a while, it really does come into its own and feels like a well crafted 3D platformer that constantly stays fresh by introducing and combining ideas…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unfortunately a damaged package I unfortunately can't say I recommend this one even though I feel a bit mixed about it, and I feel bad because this is a very underground game with not a lot of attention, and clearly there's a few people that did see something I didn't. I think the main problem is that Mail Mole is fundamentally pretty flawed. The whole concept of playing a 3D platformer as a mole spending most of its time underground, not visible save for jumping or dirt graphics just doesn't…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Holy moley this game is great.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Target Audience: More Laid Back Platforming Fans Summary: Mail Mole is worth the price of admission, although it's one of those games that's focusing on a sub-set of the platforming lovers of the world. Taking strong influence from games such as Super Mario Sunshine, it's unique underground movement mechanic provides a solid basis for a game that focuses on more straight forward trap avoidance and speed (at times) more then exploration or combat. Level design may be simple, but it…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The main issue with this game is that the most basic and fundamental mechanic of any platformer (the jump) directly conflicts with the mechanic that makes this game unique (the dash). There are two jump heights: a very short jump that is really only helpful for traversing nearby platforms of equal (or very slightly higher) height and chaining dashes, and a high jump. Because jump height can't be fine tuned, some platforms are too high for a short jump but much shorter than a high jump,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →they worked pretty hard on this game and it is pretty cool the game is a little short but there is tons and tons of replayability with the radishes and the gold medals and such
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I thought this game was pretty good! Overall, I loved the different aesthetics that the game showed: The Farm, Beach, Temple and… well, I don’t want to spoil the whole game ;) Also, I found really interesting the speedrun sections on which you race against some Mecha Moltys. They were quite challenging but very entertaining! Overall, I recommend this game to any fan of 3D platformers that are looking for a relaxing and happy-go-lucky experience :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very satisfying platforming, fun level mechanics and aesthetics, with speedrunning challenges and collectibles to grab as well for added replayability. Small pain points with things like boxes not breaking or some camera oddness, but the experience is still a lot of fun regardless!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well, this was a pleasant surprise. Mail Mole is an odd 3d platformer with no enemies besides the occasional boss fight and a timer. And occasionally races against doppelgangers, which are easy to beat as they don't take obvious shortcuts. I'm only up to world 4 of what seems like 8, been having fun with it, with a few caveats. The music works hard to disguise its loops, but it will become obvious that it's the same song when going for time trials or hunting for the secret fruit things. The…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was surprised, it is truly a wonderful game! I think the adjective CHARMY es the best description! I'm not a 3D platform player but it's easy to start collecting carrots, the movements and controls are smooth (with the controller, but keyboard is supported, too). The performance it's fine and all the details are important. It's a MUST indie game for the entire family <3
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awesome 3D platformer that's also very, very charming. In the game you play as Molty, a Mail Mole (shocking given the title, I know!) that has to deliver letters to get the power back on Carrotland. The story is simple, but like in the old 3D platformers, it's an excuse to go from world to world, and everything is quite charming in the process, so that's a plus! The game controls a bit differently than other platformers, since you must charge the jump by holding the jump button. This is used…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just a very muddled experience. Some of the models are cartoony and rounded, some are flat shaded and look to be attempting a low-poly look (poorly). The levels have collectables scattered around them, but the game has a strict time limit for golden medals, encouraging you to skip exploration. The game features unlockable cosmetic items, but because you spend the majority of the time underground, you'll never really get to see them. It's like the game is just made up of all these…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a cute platformer with an interesting enough gimmick to stand out from the games it tries to emulate (A Hat in Time, Super Mario Galaxy, etc.) The "race" style levels were definitely my favorite and are reminiscent of the tongue surfing from SpongeBob: Battle for Bikini Bottom. Mail Mole himself is really cute, so it's unfortunate that most of the time he's on screen he's underground and not actually readily visible. The inclusion of un-skippable cutscenes and having the game force you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fun take on 3D platformers mixing speed and momentum based mechanics into the levels. Starts out simple enough but if you're looking to 100% the game expect a decent challenge. A loose story holds together what is really just an excuse to visit new locales but it serves it purpose. The real meat of the game is going to be collecting the hidden coins and speedrunning the levels. It's perfect playable as a casual platformer/collector game but if you want to try and improve you level times then…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This has been a ride since the developers talked about the game the first time. They've put so much hard work on it and it has payed off tenfold. The game looks amazing and the response of the controls feels real good. The levels are so well designed, they aren't nor too easy nor insanely tricky. Literally nothing bad to say about it. I'm really looking forward for more games from TalpaGames.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A simple platformer, not extraordinary, not very long, but quite decent overall, even if the difficulty is handled in a rather odd way. The game features 8 different worlds, each with its own theme, music, and some different gameplay elements. There are around sixty levels in total. Most levels last between 45 seconds and 3 minutes, and the goal is to reach the mailbox with the mole. There are several types of levels: -Standard platforming levels: these are the most numerous and the ones I…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mail Mole is an incredibly delightful 3D platformer with endearing qualities and charm that newcomers and devoted fans of the genre alike will be able to appreciate. • Stellar level design that fairly increases in difficulty as you play • Cleverly blends level mechanics with its boss fights • Leaderboards and time trials add a good amount of replay value (especially if you enjoy speedrunning) • Molty can be dressed up in all sorts of fun cosmetics (:
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mail Mole (9/10) When you play plataformes, you want absolutely top and responsive controls. I played Mail Mole with a gamepad and so far so good. The way you jump is a little different from other platformers and I can see why some people don't like that. But please, don't be too traditional! The controls are done ON PURPOSE in this new way and it actually makes sense you are a Mole with these controls. I want to keep my review focused on the inputs/controls, but so far, level design has been…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Do you like 3d platformers? Buy this game. That's all
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really nice game! I played the demo when it came out, and now I see that the full game is up to expectations. I am enjoying all the levels, and getting kind of addicted to finding all the carrots and radishes. It is definitely a plus to have the option to play it in my first language, Catalan, and it is also available in five other languages - a lot of work here! I really feel like the creators have put tons of effort and care in every aspect of the game. To be honest, they won me when I…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is awesome! I really enjoyed trying to obtain the gold medals, which are achieved when you complete the levels faster than a specific time. It was a pretty hard challenge that made me be hooked on the game for hours. The level design is also amazing, and the main character can't be more adorable. Really nice game!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had the opportunity to try the game on the last Steam Festival and I had a blast! Now that the game is out, I HAD to play it and it's as good as I remembered :D Molty is super cute, the levels, even if not the most challenging, are certainly well designed and the visuals are great. Really good game overall!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A lovely platform game with a lot of characters with a great design, if you love platform games this is your time to prove your hability. In the game you are a mole called Molty who is the fastest digger in town ready to deliver no matter how far. Now Molty got a big place in my gamer heart. Enjoy it!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mail Mole is a charming game about Molty, a mole whose vacations are interrupted when power goes out in Carrotland after someone sabotages all of their power plants. After the first steps, the game leads you to believe the experience will be a slow-paced, beautiful stroll trough its vertical, intrincated and charismatic worlds. The simplicity of the graphics invites you to get comfortable and just relax during the ride. "Don't think too much, just enjoy", i thought, as i entered the first…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you enjoyed the burrowing sections of New Super Lucky's Tale you'll probably love this. I did! It's a linear 3d platformer that has some really fun level design, NPCs that don't ramble on and instead get straight to the point, chill music, fun boss levels, excellent platforming with an also excellent camera to go with it. No crashes, no bugs, ran smooth as butter the whole time. Got 80% achievements just playing. Dev is definitely on my radar for these types of games and looking forward to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The characters are cute and it is a charming game, but the fact that you are always underground makes it hard to tell where your hitbox is, and you can get hit with flying projectiles that really look like they should've missed you. On top of that, the jump feels pretty awkward. It's not unplayable, it works just fine, but it just feels awkward. The regular jump is pretty ineffective and the higher jump requires you to charge it up before popping out of the ground in a way that just... doesn't…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wanted this game to have the quality and fun that New Super Lucky's Tale did, but it fell a bit short. It's a fine experience and there's some good challenge here, but NSLT is objectively better in every way. This game is still worth playing and I had a good time with it!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is everything I hate about platformers.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great visually, but extremely uninteresting platforming mechanics and level design. ------------------------------------------- The base movement speed is way too slow and the sprint button literally only increases your speed by like 20%. If they doubled the speed it might still be too slow for me personally. No real challenge at all in terms of speedrun times or just regularly completing the levels. Maybe it gets slightly harder near the end, but out of the first 3 worlds there was actually…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun! Fun! Fun! I have enjoyed alot my first hours with this game. Simple premise and complex challenges make this game very refreshing and easy to play while having tons of fun. Win/Win The graphics are very pleasant an very beautiful, old-style aesthetic with new graphics <3 10/10 for me!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mail Mole may seem like another good-looking 3D Platformer at first glance, but the truth is that its underground movement and charged-jump mechanic provides a very different gameplay experience: instead of jumping higher by pressing longer the button, you have to charge the jump underground and release the button. This makes for a more strategic approach to challenges and, once you get used to it and combine it with the advanced dash mechanic, it works beautifully! Levels start on the easy…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a perfectly fine, little platformer in the vein of Mario 3d World. However it is no 3D World. It's got a few issues, but it's not bad. Its a middle of the road PS2 game that you'd find in the bargain bin and give a chance as a child and enjoy way more than you were expecting. Wait for a sale too pick it up if you're really interested.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This didn't really work for me. It's a good idea and the level design is decent enough but the controls are the main problem. I found them to be sluggish as hell and judging exactly where you are is difficult because the character is underground! There's definitely something to build on if they ever chose to do a sequel but I became frustrated quite quickly with this.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →deeply mediocre, it's pretty mindless except for a few golds which can genuinely be challenging (and frustrating, due to no fine tuning over the jump height). extremely forgettable character and story and extremely generic level design, platforming is fun enough but not really *that* fun. i'm still giving it a positive review because truly i don't like using negative unless something genuinely sucks, and i do see passion from the developers especially with free dlc. but after 100% the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have very mixed feelings on this game. I like the premise of a mole mailman. You don't actually deliver any mail in this game, just turn power plants back on, but that's kind of like complaining mario doesn't do enough plumbing. But overall, I do like and recommend this game. I'm going to start with everything I don't like. So why the mixed feelings? Well, I hate the aesthetics of this game. So many of the levels are far too orange or too green. The first time I played this I actually…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mail Mole is a confusing game. It's a 3d platformer where you can't see your character. Despite being underground, you can be hit by projectiles flying overhead. The game's visual aesthetic is mostly cohesive, Save for many recurring objects that have an untextured low poly aesthetic. The music is bland. The writing is boring. I can't really recommend this game to anyone.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had the opportunity to play Koa and the 5 pirates before Mail Mole. It’s made by the same developer and the games are very similar in terms of controls, gameplay and structure. The differences are Mail Mole is less polished for being the first game and it’s a bit more challenging. Its style is also more reminiscent of old school platformers for being about animals instead of humans. The controls are very unique. This isn’t your typical platformer. It can be a positive or a negative depending…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I purchased this game on a whim because I saw it going cheap and I had no expectations for it at all. And do you know what? I really enjoyed it, I found myself surprised by how fun it was and I had that "just one more level" sort of vibe. It's not a long game. Took me about 6 hours to complete the story. Still really cute and fun though. Although I am terrible at it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mail Mole is a cute 3D Platformer who takes inspiration mostly from Super Mario 3D World. Its main gimmick is the fact that Monty moves around underground and that the player can chain boosts by jumping and dashing. This makes the game particularly fun for speedrun attempts if I may say so. However, even if you're not a speedrunner, the game is particularly fun because of its good level design, centered mainly around the introduction of different challenges and elements in each level and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The devs quickly fixed a bug that I posted about. Nice! <3
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mail Mole is a simple platformer with cute graphics and a twist in the controls. The game itself is not very challenging, but getting the gold medal in every stage can be really hard because it requires a big knowledge of the mechanics of the game. Overall a great experience with a few hours of gameplay.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really fun platformer. Have enjoyed every bit of it: cool low-pol graphics, catchy music and the control of the mole is really nice. Would recommend to friends.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is a lovely little game! I am really glad I chose to buy it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →in my opinion it'a a very creative and interesting game as it brings back memorys from past famouse games but at the same time creates good new memories because of the history
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →cool and cute! I enjoyed it so far:) Maybe lower the volume on the cannon >:)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Short little 3D platformer with a jump mechanic that takes some time to get used to, but ends up in a satisfying places. You can easily get through the first few worlds within the refund window, so don't be too quick to judge it on the early levels. They're less interesting than where it goes later.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great level design and fun mechanics. Has a nice difficulty curve and rewards revisiting levels.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had the opportunity to try the demos and from that moment Mail Mole was on my wish list. 3D platform game with a difficulty that suits what you want from it. If you want to have a good time and you don't have much experience you will enjoy finishing the levels. And if what you want is a real challenge, try to get all the records and win all the races. The difficulty increases as you advance through the levels, so you will always have to give a little bit more of yourself. The mechanics and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Neat premise, medicore execution. I'm reminded of late '90s, early '00s platformers in all the wrong ways. Each level is full of collectibles, but the game only cares about how fast you complete it, but the first time you complete a level you get kicked out with no option to restart (subsequent attempts do give you this option). Entering or exiting any stage involves lengthy cutscenes, but the game's too graphically simple to need these to mask load times on modern computers so it's just a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →silly little platform id like to play more of :D
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I normally hate collectathon platformers, but something about Molty and company just won me over enough to keep going.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The graphics are slop and the level design is also slop. Feels like the first game this developer ever made.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I just can't get past the controls. It's hard to tell where you are because you are always digging in the ground unless you are jumping. It's just not very fun to control what looks like an invisible character. It's a very odd decision to say the least, I mean you want to see your character model right? The jumping is also bad and feels stiff because you have to charge it by holding the button, which is stupid. And the transition between jumping and going back into the dirt is really choppy and…
