Gobble Hole

A 3D city eater: drag a black hole around and swallow everything smaller than you, up to whole skyscrapers. Free to play in your browser, no download or sign-up.

About the game

Gobble Hole is a 3D arcade game for phones and desktop browsers. You control a hungry black hole in a colourful low-poly world. Anything smaller than the hole tips over and falls in: traffic cones, bins, benches, people, lamp posts, trees, cars and buses. Every bite makes you bigger, until you can swallow houses, shops and whole skyscrapers, which sink into the ground with a rumble.

Play on four maps: Sunny City with roads, parks and parking lots, Coco Beach with umbrellas, boats and hotels, Hayday Farm with fields, animal pens, barns and a windmill, and Orbit Station with rovers, domes and a rocket. Classic mode gives you 2 minutes against 7 AI holes that grow, hunt and run away. Solo mode asks you to eat the whole map for three stars, and in Battle the safe zone shrinks until only one hole is left.

How to play

1. Drag anywhere on the screen to move your hole, like a floating joystick. On a computer, use WASD or the arrow keys, or drag with the mouse.
2. Anything smaller than your hole falls in when you move over it. Start with cones, people and bins, then move on to benches, trees and cars as you grow.
3. The bar under your score fills as you grow. Each new size lets you swallow bigger things: buses, then houses, then towers.
4. In Classic, a hole that is clearly bigger than another can swallow it. Chase smaller holes for big bonuses and keep away from bigger ones. If you are eaten, you respawn after a moment with half your size.
5. In Solo there are no rivals. Clear the map before the 2 minutes run out: 50% earns one star, 80% two and 100% three. Arrows point to the last few objects.
6. In Battle there are no respawns. Stay inside the safe zone, because holes outside it shrink and disappear. Be the last hole standing, or the biggest when time runs out.
7. Earn coins every round and spend them on hole skins, trails and new maps. Finish the 3 daily missions and unlock achievements for bonus coins.
