Black Hole: City Gobbler
About Black Hole: City Gobbler: Swallow a Cartoon City and Grow
Black Hole: City Gobbler puts a swirling void at the center of a bright cartoon city and dares it to eat everything in sight. Steer the hole across seven districts — from the park all the way to the airport — and watch cones, benches, and flowers wobble over the edge first, followed by cars, trees, and buses, and eventually houses and skyscrapers. Every object swallowed makes the hole bigger, which opens up the next tier of city furniture to devour. Rival holes compete for the same streets, and a crowned boss hole looms as the ultimate target to outgrow. Earn up to three stars per district, spend them on upgrades, and personalize the void with 24 hole skins.
How to Play Black Hole: City Gobbler
The goal is straightforward: swallow as much of the city as possible before the timer expires to earn up to three stars. Start with the smallest objects — cones, benches, flowers — and grow large enough to tackle cars, trees, and buses, then eventually houses and skyscrapers. Eating quickly builds combos, so chaining bites in rapid succession rewards extra progress. Scattered across each district are magnet, time, and speed power-ups worth grabbing, along with golden objects that stand out from ordinary city clutter. Once the hole grows larger than a rival hole, that rival can be swallowed too; the same rule applies to the crowned boss hole.
Controls
- Drag (finger or mouse): Steer the black hole anywhere on the screen
- Arrow keys / WASD: Move the black hole
