Hole.io is a free casual game for Android from VOODOO, installed over 100 million times according to Google Play. You steer a hole across a 3D map and swallow everything smaller than it, from trash cans to skyscrapers. It carries a Teen content rating and runs on Android 8.0 or newer.
Free to play, with ads and in-app purchases
The game costs nothing to install. Google Play marks it as containing ads and offering in-app purchases, so expect advertising between rounds and optional paid items on top of the free game.
The Google Play score is 3.2 out of 5, based on about 1.3 million ratings. That is a modest average for a title with this reach, and it fits a game that is simple and free but monetized with ads.
Swipe, grow, and clear New York or a pirate cove
Control is a single swipe: you glide the hole around the map and it consumes whatever fits. You begin small, barely able to take in a trash can, and grow until buildings drop in whole. Cars, lampposts and hot dogs all count along the way.
The maps are themed 3D worlds, including a busy New York, a pirate cove and a glowing sci-fi city. Rounds are short, which suits quick play sessions such as a break between tasks. The aim in each match is to clear the map by eating more than you leave behind.
Eight screenshots on the store page show the bright, detailed look of these worlds.
