Sinkhole.io
Roll a hungry sinkhole through a sunny city, swallow cones, cars, houses and towers to grow, then gulp down smaller rival holes before the two-minute round ends.
Sinkhole.io is a city-swallowing io game where you play a hole in the ground with a big appetite. Glide through parks, plazas, suburbs and downtown blocks and anything smaller than you drops in with a satisfying gulp: pedestrians, traffic cones, benches, trees, parked cars, buses, houses and finally whole office towers. Every bite makes you wider, so the city you could barely dent at the start becomes a buffet a minute later.
Eleven named rival holes roam the same streets. They chase snacks, hunt holes they can swallow and run from holes that are bigger than them, and the live leaderboard ranks everyone by points. Once the opening seconds pass, any hole about a fifth bigger than another can swallow it whole. If that happens to you, you pop back up a few seconds later at a smaller size and keep your points. Glowing golden objects are worth five times as much, magnet pickups pull loose objects toward you, speed pickups help you escape or give chase, and the last twenty seconds are a Frenzy with double points. When the timer hits zero you get a bonus based on your place.
Rounds earn XP that unlocks rim skins and perks such as a wider start, a magnetic rim, quicker rolling and more golden objects. Tip: clear a park or plaza first, then move on to cars and houses before you go after the towers.
How to play
Steer your hole around the city. Anything smaller than the hole falls in when its center passes over it, adding points and size. Holes about 20% bigger than a rival can swallow it; if you are swallowed you respawn smaller but keep your points. Grab magnets and speed boosts, chase golden objects, and score double in the final 20-second Frenzy. Finish the 2-minute round with the most points to win.
