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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I hit a hazard?

Hazards like spikes or damaging zones will shrink your hole, making it harder to swallow certain objects. You can still recover by eating more items if you’re careful.

Can I shrink on purpose?

Yes, you can avoid eating objects to remain smaller, which helps when navigating tight spaces. Your size is purely based on what you consume.

Is there a way to restart a level?

Typically you can restart the current stage from the pause menu or by pressing a reset key. Check the in-game instructions for the exact button.

Are there different game modes?

The core mode is a level-based obstacle course, but the game may include variations like time trials or endless challenges depending on the version.

How do I get a higher score?

Your score is tied to how many objects you consume and how quickly you finish. Aim for efficient paths that let you eat a lot without wasting time.

Can I play this on a mobile device?

If the game supports touch controls, you can play on a phone or tablet. Look for on-screen buttons or swipe gestures in the settings.
