HoleMart

Mission briefing

HoleMart is a fun and addictive casual game where you control a growing hole inside a busy market. Move around the area, swallow objects, and expand your size as you consume more items. Start small by absorbing tiny goods, shelves, and carts. As your hole grows bigger, you’ll be able to swallow larger objects and clear the market faster. The more you consume, the stronger and bigger your hole becomes. Simple controls, satisfying growth, and smooth gameplay make HoleMart perfect for quick play sessions and endless fun.

Field manual

Move the Hole Drag your finger to move the hole around the market. Consume Objects Absorb smaller objects to increase your size. Grow Bigger The more items you swallow, the larger your hole becomes. Unlock Larger Items As you grow, you can consume bigger shelves, carts, and objects. Clear the Market Keep swallowing until the market is completely cleared.

Launch orders: press Launch mission above and the game loads on this page itself — nothing downloads and no form stands between you and the first move. It is designed for a portrait (upright) screen and takes its orders from mouse, keyboard or touch, depending on the mission. It is built tall, for an upright screen — a phone held normally frames it best, though any window will run it. If it offers a fullscreen control, use it — a fight this size deserves the whole screen.

Field notes for .io arena operations

• Eat at the edges. The centre of an .io arena is where the giants feed; the rim is where small players grow fat on leftovers nobody bothers to chase.
• Never chase a smaller player in a straight line for long. Every second of pursuit is a second the whole arena can see, and something bigger is always watching the chase instead of the chased.
• Use your size as a rumour, not a shield. The moment you make the leaderboard, you become content for everyone's evening — spend big size on safety, position and patience.

HoleMart — questions from the ranks

What does it cost to play HoleMart?

Nothing at all. The mission is free from the first order to the last — no sign-up, no download, no paid tier guarding the good levels. The advertising around this page is what keeps the board free.

What sort of mission is HoleMart?

HoleMart is filed in our .io Arena theatre. Like every operation on this board, it is a browser game — read the briefing above for the publisher's own account of what you are deploying into.

Can I run HoleMart on a phone or tablet?

Yes. It plays in the browser on phones and tablets exactly as it does on a computer. It is built tall, for an upright screen — a phone held normally frames it best, though any window will run it.

Do I have to install anything before playing?

No installation of any kind. HoleMart is an HTML5 game: press the launch button and it loads on this page, and closing the tab leaves nothing behind.
