Instructions

Gulp Hollow

You are a hole in a toy town. Swallow whatever fits, grow, and dodge the bigger holes before the two minutes run out. Each day brings a shopping list for bonus points.

Play Gulp Hollow

Free, no sign-up. Keyboard, touch or gamepad.

How to play

  • Hold the mouse and drag to steer, or use the arrow keys.
  • P to pause.

On touch

  • Press and drag anywhere.
  • The hole follows your finger.

Every run starts on the title screen. Pause any time with P or the pause button; calm mode removes flashes and screen shake.

Maker’s note

Five bot holes play by the same rules: bigger swallows smaller, and the small one pops back up smaller. The town and the daily shopping list come from the seed, so a day's run can be compared fairly.

The Indie Pocket era, 2015–2019

Flat pastel colour, chunky friendly shapes and a hop that squashes when it lands: short runs that fit in a pocket.
