About Gulp
Gulp puts you in control of a hole in the ground with one simple rule: anything smaller than your opening falls in. Start by swallowing traffic cones, litter bins, and people, and watch your hole grow wide enough to take benches, then cars, then buses, then entire houses. Four rival holes are competing on the same map, and a hole large enough can swallow a smaller one whole — so the early game is about hunting small targets while avoiding anything bigger than you.
Buildings too large to swallow don't just block your path. Get close enough and they tremble on the edge, topple with real physics, knock over whatever stands nearby, and break into pieces small enough to eat one at a time. That chain-reaction destruction is central to how the game scales up.
Six distinct worlds give each session a different menu. The City is the baseline. A space station deck has drones crossing overhead, with planets that only descend once your hole is big enough to take them. The stone age brings mammoths, a tyrannosaurus, and cavemen riding carts. A medieval village offers knights, dragons, a market, and a castle. The sea floor separates scenery above from food below. The jungle fills out with toucans, monkeys, elephants, and a temple under the vines.
How to Play Gulp
Move the hole over any object smaller than your current size and it drops straight in, making you bigger. Anything too large won't fall yet — return once you've grown enough and it becomes fair game. Buildings begin to tremble when you're close enough to tip them, so positioning near a large structure can trigger a collapse that breaks it into bite-sized pieces.
Four rival holes are eating the same level. A hole significantly larger than yours can swallow you, so track the competition and stay away from bigger holes while targeting smaller ones.
