Games like Hole.io: swallow and grow
Updated 2026-10-28
The games most like Hole.io are also about a hole: Holey.io Battle Royale in the browser and the story game Donut County. If what you like is swallowing things and growing, try Katamari Damacy, Tasty Planet, Agar.io and Bugs.io. Below are six games with one line on each, and how Crybble Wars differs from them.
Hole.io was released in 2018 by the French studio Voodoo. Your hole swallows trees, people and cars, then buildings and smaller holes. In Classic you have two minutes to become the biggest hole, in Solo you have the same two minutes to swallow nearly the whole city, and Battle is a battle royale. Per Wikipedia, the other holes in Classic and Battle are computer-controlled. It is on phones and in the browser, and since 2024 on PC and consoles too.

Is there a Hole.io with real players?
Per Wikipedia, the other holes in Hole.io’s Classic and Battle modes are computer-controlled. The Holey.io Battle Royale page says you can swallow other players’ holes as long as they are smaller. In Agar.io and Crybble Wars the players around you are other people on a shared map.
How is Crybble Wars different from Hole.io?
- Time. A Hole.io round lasts two minutes. A Crybble Wars match has no timer: you stay on the map until you leave through the house button or get eaten.
- Growth. In Hole.io you grow on city objects. In Crybble Wars you grow on food and other bubbles: to eat a bubble you must be at least 10% heavier and cover more than half of it. Mass melts on its own.
- Money. The entry is free or 1, 30, 100 CBW. A paid entry sits in your bubble: if you are eaten, it drops onto the map as a chest; if you leave through the house button, it goes to your balance.
- Where to play. Crybble Wars runs in Telegram and in the browser, with nothing to download.
The rules are on “How the game works”, and leaving with your money on “Leaving the map”.
What is the game where a hole swallows everything?

Yes: Hole.io runs in the browser on a computer, phone or tablet, and there are iOS and Android apps. Holey.io Battle Royale runs in the browser too.
