About Hole — 3D Browser Game
Free 3D hole game in your browser. Drive a hole through a procedural town swallowing flowers, lamp-posts, wagons and finally entire houses. Pure arcade — 2 minutes per round, score as much mass as possible. No ads, no sign-up.
How to play
- Move your hole with arrow keys, WASD, or by dragging your finger on the canvas. The hole always sits on the ground and follows your input direction; release to stop. The camera tracks the hole at a fixed top-down tilt so you can see what's nearby.
- Position the hole under any item small enough to be eaten — flowers, mushrooms, fences, barrels are tier-1 starters. The item falls in with a satisfying drop animation, you score points, and the XP bar at the top fills.
- When the XP bar fills, the hole grows one tier larger and the next class of items becomes edible. Tier 2 unlocks lamp-posts and signposts, tier 3 wagons and market stalls, tier 4 houses, tier 5 the giant tree at the centre of the map.
- Items you can't eat yet act as obstacles — they block your path. Use them as landmarks: a wagon you can't eat now becomes a 50-point snack two tiers later.
- The round runs for 2 minutes. Your final score is the total mass eaten plus any time bonus. Beat your local best score (saved in your browser) to climb your own leaderboard.
- Strategy: don't chase one big item across the map — sweep small items in a spiral around your spawn first to grow fast, then commit to a path through medium items, then swing around for the big buildings near the end.
- Spacebar pauses on desktop. The pause overlay also works as a quick rules refresher mid-round.
