Dive into a world of FUN with levels that are both challenging and satisfying. You’ll never be bored and can always return to unwind and de-stress. You’ll begin with a small hole, but don’t fret! Your hole has a special power: it can consume EVERYTHING that moves on the map. Chase down and catch these items before they get away! As you continue to eat and grow, your hole will become bigger, faster, and stronger. With increased power, you can tackle tougher enemies and recruit allies to help you take on the boss later. HOW TO PLAY: - Goal: Overcome the daunting (but charming) boss. - Movement: Hold to move your hole. - Challenge: Time is ticking. Can you gather enough troops before time runs out? - Bonus: Enjoy upgrades and support to give you a boost, from modest to massive, right from the beginning.
