Hole Feast
Swipe to drag a hungry mouth across each tiny level — eat every object in sight, but never the people.
Drag the mouth around a small arena; eat all edible items in one continuous swipe chain; swallowing a person ends the level and you restart with a new layout.
One-thumb drag (finger down and move) to steer the mouth across the screen.
Vacuum-mouth 'gobble' trend riding Fancade's viral Poki hit.
Fancade's Gobble is sitting on Poki with 266.8K likes and a 4.2 rating — the 'swallow the world, but not the people' gag is freshly validated.
'Eat everything but not the people' gag is proven via Fancade's Gobble on Poki and Voodoo's Hole.io (100M+ downloads), but is now a well-worn formula rather than fresh.Gobble by Fancade listed on Poki, confirming the mechanic is live and validated. ↗Hole.io 100M+ installs shows the eat-the-world hook is mass-market proven. ↗
The 'don't eat the people' failure state is highly clipable and TikTok-friendly, and Hole.io-family games routinely trend; however, the category is already oversaturated on short-form video.Hole.io ranks #2 casual BR, #3 SA, with 6.8M downloads in 30 days — clear viral ceiling. ↗Google Play listing shows the swallow-the-world framing is a known shareable format. ↗
Single one-thumb drag steering, collision-vs-tag check, and procedural small arenas — trivially buildable in days with off-the-shelf engines.
Voodoo-style ad loop (interstitials per level + rewarded revive) is well-validated by Hole.io's 100M install base; however, the category is flooded with clones bidding the same ad inventory, pressuring eCPMs.Hole.io scale demonstrates the monetization ceiling for this template. ↗Hole Swallow All - Eat All shows the template is being cloned by multiple studios, fragmenting ad revenue. ↗
Market is extremely crowded: Hole.io (100M+), Hole Rush, Hole Swallow All, plus the direct inspiration Gobble on Poki already uses the 'mouth in the ground, don't eat the people' framing almost verbatim — leaving almost no differentiation room.Hole.io is the category leader and direct competitor. ↗Hole Rush: Eat All Puzzle is a near-identical recent clone. ↗Third-party description of Gobble explicitly references Hole.io and the 'mouth with eyes, leave the people' premise — direct overlap with Hole Feast. ↗
