YOUR CRASH COURSE

Move and Swallow, Bigger and Bigger

Drag anywhere on screen to move your hole across a 3D city map. Any object touching the hole's rim tumbles inside. Start with pedestrians, signs, and small debris; as your radius grows, progress through cars, trucks, trees, lamp posts, and ultimately entire buildings. The final thirty seconds of a match are a chaotic scramble of building-guzzling.

Race Other Holes for the Best Buffet

Multiple holes compete for the same finite city. A rival devouring a cluster of cars that you were steering toward hurts — but steering into a rival hole smaller than yours eliminates them and absorbs their mass. The map awareness required to track rival positions while planning your consumption route intensifies as your radius grows.

Exploit Gravity and Slope Physics

Objects on elevated surfaces — bridges, rooftops, hills — tumble down slopes toward your hole if you position below them. Skyscraper clusters near the city center offer the densest late-game mass; suburban edges let you farm uncontested during the vulnerable early seconds. Map knowledge dictates optimal routing.

Switch Maps and Modes

Urban, medieval, fantasy, space-station, and post-apocalyptic maps alter which objects appear and how they're distributed. Some maps favor vertical consumption (tall buildings close together); others favor horizontal grazing (spread-out objects with room to maneuver between rival holes). A dedicated battle mode shrinks the map and accelerates growth for faster, more aggressive encounters.

Master the End-of-Match Sprint

The final twenty seconds multiply growth rates and emphasize territorial aggression — swallowing a rival in the last five seconds can flip a third-place finish into first. Veterans memorize which map corners hold dense clusters of high-mass objects specifically for the end-of-match feeding frenzy.
