Holecraft.io: Free Online Black Hole Game

Start tiny. End enormous. Holecraft.io hands you control of a hungry black hole on a blocky 3D map and gives you one simple instruction: eat everything you can fit into it.

At the beginning, you are only big enough to gulp down small blocks and little objects. Every bite makes you a bit larger, and as you grow, bigger blocks and whole structures start to fit through the opening. Soon you are swallowing chunks of the map that were towering over you a minute earlier. The world steadily disappears into your hole as you sweep across it.

The clock adds a pleasant bit of pressure. You want to collect as much as possible before time runs out, which means thinking about your route. Clearing a dense patch of small items early can bulk you up quickly, setting you up to gobble the big stuff later. Wandering aimlessly wastes precious seconds, while a smart path through the map can make you the biggest hole on the board. It is a bit like a puzzle about order: which things to eat now, and which to leave for later once you are large enough to swallow them in one go. Getting that order right is what separates a decent round from a record breaking one.

This hole game is wonderfully satisfying in a way that is hard to explain until you try it. Watching blocks tip over the edge and vanish never gets old, and the growth curve gives every round a clear sense of progress. It is easy to pick up and still fun when you want to beat your best size. Rounds are short, so it makes a great quick after-school break.

Holecraft.io is free to play in your browser with no download. Use the mouse on a computer or touch on a phone or tablet, and find out just how large your hole can grow.
