About the Game

AUTOMOLES is an auto-battling puzzler where you design a team to defeat hordes of enemies. You take the role as a mole-cenary company tactician, and travel across the systems of Subterra. Analyze your team in battle and edit the tools at your disposal to emerge victorious.

Massive puzzle depth

There are mole-ions of combinations with the almost 100 types of combatants having variable stat blocks. Each mole is a tool, every trinket is a modifier, and every dungeon is a problem to be solved.

Packed with content

You have 20+ moles and 40+ trinkets to experiment with. Try your hand at infinite dungeons in the Molosseum, and go back to previous dungeons with fewer moles for an extra challenge.

Explore the world of Subterra

You hear of rumors that a force powerful enough to threaten Big Doug's Empire is gathering in the Cerberus system. You will be rewarded handsomely upon ensuring that does not happen. Now, it's just a matter of getting over there; purging our enemies while you're at it. Chat with shopkeepers to get to know the world and your adversaries better.

Praise Big Doug!
