Hole io

ABOUT HOLE IO

Hole io is a multiplayer .io arcade game where you control a growing black hole that consumes objects and opponents across a city. Starting with a small opening, you must absorb streetlights and other nearby items before becoming large enough to swallow cars and entire buildings. Your size determines what you can consume, making every object an opportunity to expand and gain an advantage over rival players. Other black holes introduce an additional challenge, as larger opponents can swallow you while smaller ones become potential targets. Each match lasts two minutes, with final leaderboard positions determined by the size of each player's hole. Developed by French studio Voodoo and originally released for mobile devices in 2018, the game is also available for free through desktop and mobile browsers. Swallow everything within reach, avoid bigger rivals, and become the largest black hole before the timer runs out!

GAMEPLAY OVERVIEW

Swallow City Objects to Expand Your Black Hole

Hole io begins with a small black hole that can only absorb objects that fit inside its opening. Streetlights and other smaller items provide the initial opportunities for growth, gradually increasing the range of objects you can consume. Once your hole becomes large enough, cars and buildings become valuable targets for further expansion. You can also circle buildings and absorb their bases to bring them down, making the structures easier to swallow.

Compete Against Other Black Holes

The city is shared with rival players whose black holes follow the same size-based swallowing mechanics. Opponents larger than yours are dangerous because they can consume your hole, while smaller rivals offer opportunities to eliminate competitors. Choosing when to approach another player depends on your current size, especially when you are still collecting smaller objects. Staying away from powerful opponents allows you to focus on growing until you are large enough to challenge more rivals.

Maximize Your Size Before the Two-Minute Timer Ends

Every match gives you two minutes to become as large as possible before the leaderboard determines the final rankings. Early in a round, areas filled with smaller objects offer accessible targets without requiring a large opening. As your size increases, moving toward cars, buildings, and smaller opponents creates opportunities for greater growth. Your priorities naturally shift from collecting small items to consuming larger targets, making the final size of your black hole the deciding factor in your leaderboard position.
