Obby: Be a Hole
Obby: Be a Hole drops you into a whimsical world where you play as a ravenous opening in the ground. Your goal is straightforward: travel across obstacle-filled tracks and consume whatever lies in your path. Each object you swallow makes your hole a little wider, letting you reach new areas or take on bigger challenges. But the courses are designed to test your timing, and certain hazards can make you shrink back to a smaller state. What sets this game apart is how your growth changes the way you move. A larger hole can cover more ground but may struggle to slip through narrow passages, forcing you to think about every bite you take. The levels ramp up in complexity, blending platforming with puzzle-like decisions. Whether you’re darting around moving blocks or deciding which items are worth the risk, every step feels deliberate. It’s a lighthearted yet strategic twist on the classic runner formula.

What is Obby: Be a Hole
Take control of a bottomless pit with a mission to eat everything in sight. Navigate cleverly built courses and see how big you can become before the stage ends.
How to Play
Use arrow keys or WASD to steer your hole across the map. Approach objects to swallow them, but watch out for obstacles that can shrink your size.
Tips for Playing
- Prioritize eating large objects early to gain size quickly, but check if the path ahead has narrow gaps.
- Keep an eye on moving hazards—timing your movement beats rushing through.
- If a section feels too tight, avoid eating extra items to stay small enough to pass.
- Memorize the layout of each level to plan which items to skip and which to chase.
- Don’t ignore smaller objects; they add up and can give you just enough growth to clear a hurdle.
