Play City Hole

Start small. Eat the market.

Free on iPhone in the Roam app. Android coming soon.

The tutorial is two lines long: 'This is you. A hole in the city.' Then you drag, and the market square starts falling in. Small street junk goes first, and every bite fills a size bar that climbs from street junk to furniture. The clock starts at 5:30, so the point is to grow as big as you can before it runs out. If you search for games like Hole.io, this is that idea built around one busy market, played in the Roam app on your iPhone.

How a round works

Drag anywhere on the left side of the screen to move the hole.
Slide under objects to swallow them; anything smaller than the hole drops in.
Watch the size bar: fill it to move up from street junk to furniture.
Grow, stack score and grab coins before the 5:30 timer ends.

What makes it fun

Hundreds of small physics objects that tumble in as you pass
A clear size ladder, from street junk up to furniture
One-finger control: drag and that is it
A bright low-poly market with stalls and umbrellas

Games like Hole.io, set in one market square

Hole.io made the idea famous: you are a hole, the city is food, and size is everything. City Hole keeps the core loop and sets it in a colorful market packed with stalls, umbrellas and loose junk.

The size bar is the difference you notice first. It names the next tier, so you always know what you are growing toward instead of guessing which objects will fit.

Tips for a bigger hole

Clear the small stuff in tight loops before you chase big items. Early growth is fastest when you sweep a dense corner.

Keep an eye on the timer. With five and a half minutes, a calm route around the square beats darting back and forth.

Best for a quick break

City Hole suits anyone who likes simple, satisfying games: one finger, constant progress, a clear clock. Watching a pile of junk tip over the edge never really gets old.

It also works as a quick break. A round lasts five and a half minutes at most, and the size bar tells you right away whether this run is going better than the last one.
