I hope it continues with ONLY swallowing food. ### 4/5 — Fun *2026-06-03* Fun game, but could use a little more time per level considering I’m not even into the game very far. Still fun to play! ### 4/5 — Great game *2026-04-01, version 1.1.7* Very good game. The bombs are kinda small. My only complaint ### 4/5 — New player *2026-03-11* I’ve just started playing and so far I’m addicted. Only problem I have is as soon as you start out the little hole automatically wants to go to the right I don’t have that problem on any of the other games. ### 3/5 — Where’s my money *2026-03-02* I purchased the 6.99 three times. Never got the pack. Each time I tried which was 3 times they got the money and I didn’t get the pack. And my screen went black after it said the purchase went through. ### 5/5 — Gamer *2026-02-19* Of all the whole games this one is the best with the most features rewards and challenges ### 5/5 — Just getting started *2026-02-17, version 1.1.3* Game has an amazing attention to detail and added pet feature to follow me around as I devour is exciting to me!!! extraordinary so far !! ### 3/5 — Can be fun *2026-02-07* I started playing this game after giving up on other black hole games. I loved it because it was DIFFERENT. It gave more opportunities to win a decent amount of coins. Because at the root of it, COINS matter. And it's reasonable to expect that you will have to spend money to buy a package of coins and boosts… But the game also helped you win enough coins through clearing the board and winning chests so that the package you bought lasted longer. The problem with other black hole games is that they're there to bleed you try quickly so that you keep spending ridiculous money. This game used to be different. But now with each update the coins are less available… They're still there but your ability to gather a lot of them is being slowly taken away. It's like you've been drawn in and you get hooked and then they slowly change it thinking you won't notice. Right now they seem to want you to gather a lot of "gems"… But you can't do anything with them. You can't use them for anything. I'd rather be earning coins now because that's what buys things. ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-01-15, version 1.1.0* This game is lots of fun ### 4/5 — Level 3282 *2026-01-07, version 1.1.0* Please check this level. The black hole is not placed in the game area. Looks like a bug. ### 5/5 — Best of its kind *2025-12-28* I have played a lot of these types of games and this is by far the best! My only complaint is that I play it on my phone mostly and some of the bombs on my small phone screen are too small to see! Please make them a little bigger! ### 5/5 — Fun *2025-12-28, version 1.1.0* Highly recommended ### 5/5 — Pam I *2025-12-27, version 1.1.0* Better than usual game play ### 5/5 — Fun Fun Fun *2025-12-27, version 1.1.0* Fun and relaxing. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Rip off *2026-04-18* I’ve currently played more levels than anyone with over 17,000. Several times I’ve purchased packages and have gotten nothing but a receipt from Apple. Never received what I paid for. I’ve constantly contacted app support which was a massive waste of time. Not a single response to my emails, not a single refund or credit!!! They recently “updated” and fixed bugs. But since there’s been nothing but issues, and they’ve taken away most of the bonuses that help you get through the games. It’s becoming a joke. ### 1/5 — About the same as other hole games *2026-03-10* This is fun enough but not as full as others. Your goal in each level is very simple. Easy to do. Not something U look forward to playing when u wake up in AM. GOOD POINTS: plenty of time to complete. Actually I’m not sure there is even a timer. Never looked for one. There r side goals to reach but I don’t really care about those. So again I can’t comment. Maybe I will write a better review later on. Only been playing 10 minutes. They need to give people more time to receive an opinion form their brain. ### 1/5 — Too glitchy! *2025-12-12* UPDATE: At first, I really enjoyed this game. But now I feel that I have been ripped off. Even upon attempting to update my review, it glitched and kicked me out thus deleting everything new that I added to my review about the issues I am having. It constantly kicks me out, saying that there is a network connection error, and shorts me of the rewards that I earned. Then it began sticking on the same level for FIVE attempts of clearing the same level and kept the time clock running down, even though I had cleared the entire board of items. It would just not progress. And NOW, for the last two days, I have been unable to even get the app to completely open as it will stick on the last status bar at 80%. Of course this was after I had purchased the “Treasure Pass”. I am going to contact Apple customer service and see if I can get the charges disputed/refunded and then just delete this game/app altogether and say forget it. I have attempted to do all the troubleshooting to fix this problem. My iPad is up-to-date on all of the current updates. I have also tried turning the iPad off and then back on … which does not fix the problem nor allow me to get the app to open. I am afraid to delete the app off my iPad and then reinstall it because I don’t want to lose all the rewards that I have earned/purchased. For the most part, I enjoy this game but I notice that there are times where it is very glitchy & kicks you out of the game. This usually mainly happens after you have completed a level & shorts you out of your rewards… or makes you start all over again. Very frustrating. This happens on the phone as well as my iPad. I enjoy the game but I am 2 seconds away from walking away from the game, deleting the app & not coming back because it’s becoming a bit aggravating & super annoying. ### 1/5 — Wouldn’t open *2025-09-29, version 1.0.5* The game wouldn’t download fully and then tell me that there was something wrong with a version for the game and then wouldn’t open ### 1/5 — Badly made game *2025-08-12, version 1.0.2* Game not only freezes up all the time, it also skips and won’t acknowledge when you cleared the game. Kept making me play level 145 over and over. Tried reinstalling but kept happening. Very cheaply made. Don’t waste your time or money. ### 2/5 — Meh *2026-06-06, version 2.0.1* Super jerky which leads to mistakes. Also, $13 for no ads is a total rip off. ### 2/5 — Smh *2026-04-18, version 2.0.0* I really enjoy the game but for a day or two it won’t load .. don’t know what’s going on.. can someone tell me if the game is broken??? Why the game won’t let me play.. when I press play, nothing… ### 2/5 — App not updating *2026-04-17, version 2.0.0* 4/12 update not working. Send new update. ### 2/5 — Level 4233 *2026-01-31* This game used to be fun until they downloaded new versions. Almost every level u play u die, they have more bombs and they r hid behind stuff where u can’t see the bombs. You die about every level and die more then once. There is to many cup scenes. You use to be able to collect a lot of coins after every level now they took a lot of coins away ### 2/5 — Upgrade *2025-12-21, version 1.1.0* Game keeps telling me to DOWNLOAD NOW but when I click to download it just says open and goes to the last level I played. I really like this game. When are you going to fix this bug??? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Black Hole Buffet *2026-07-07* Addicting, however, I would suggest a “Save Game Button”, so you can play on different devices. ### 5/5 — Great *2026-07-03, version 2.0.1* Fun game ### 5/5 — Susie *2026-06-20, version 2.0.1* So much fun, I’m hooked ### 5/5 — Best one so far *2026-06-07* I have several hole games that I play and this one is by far the most fun! Gives the most prizes you can actually use and the levels aren’t impossible to beat! Big plus for me is the cute little pet you can choose to follow you around the level field! I must admit though that the first few levels I played I kept trying to catch the pet thinking it was a prize catch! 😂 Of course I couldn’t figure out why it wouldn’t fall in the hole🙄😂! I don’t review games much but I truly am enjoying this one so I thought I’d give it a good review! ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-06-03, version 2.0.1* Very entertaining game ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-04-19, version 2.0.0* This is by far the best hole game I’ve played. ### 5/5 — Fun To Fun *2026-04-06, version 1.1.7* It’s fun ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-03-26, version 1.1.7* Holes ### 5/5 — Review *2026-03-15* To many adds that last a minute or more ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-03-09, version 1.1.6* This game is so much fun and I totally recommend it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
