Hole Swallow is a fast, satisfying arcade game seen from above. You control a hole in the ground. Anything smaller than the hole drops in: pebbles and flowers first, then people, cones and benches, and once you have grown enough, cars, trees, huts and whole houses. Every bite makes the hole a little wider, so the order you eat things matters. Each of the eight scenes — park, car park, beach, farmyard, high street, village, downtown and the whole island — has a short timer and a target share to swallow, marked on the bar at the top. Things that are still too big get a red ring as you pass them. Clear everything early for bonus points and three stars.
How to play Hole Swallow
Goal: Swallow the target share of the scene before the timer runs out.
Keyboard & mouse
- Hold the mouse button and move to steer the hole, or use the arrow keys / WASD
- P or Escape to pause
Phone & tablet
- Touch and drag; the hole moves toward your finger
Rules
- Objects smaller than the hole fall in when it passes over them.
- Each object you swallow makes the hole bigger, so larger things become edible.
- A red ring means that object is still too big.
- The white mark on the top bar is the goal. Swallow more for extra stars, and everything for bonus time points.
Tips and strategy
- Sweep through clusters of small things to grow fast.
- Don’t chase big objects too early — come back when you have grown.
- Quick bites in a row show a combo.
