In this rather unique combination of arcade and puzzle there are lots of little things you can do to outsmart 4️⃣ the competition and best every single one of your opponents. Here’s a basic list of effective moves and helpful tips.

Since 4️⃣ the main mechanic is physics-based it is important to adjust your movement when trying to consume an object. Let’s say 4️⃣ you want to eat some traffic lights: sometimes sliding under a vertical pole makes it fall in an unwanted direction 4️⃣ and ultimately drop flat on the floor horizontally, thus preventing you from being able to eat it. To prevent that 4️⃣ from happening you might want to slow down just a bit or move slightly backwards once the pole start moving 4️⃣ in an unwanted direction.

It is possible to get larger objects and buildings fall in even if your hole is not 4️⃣ big enough: simply place yourself under one of the edges of the object for it to start leaning into the 4️⃣ singularity and then move slowly towards its other end gradually consuming the rest.

It may be more important to swallow more 4️⃣ smaller stuff than fewer big structures. It is common to feel inclined to try and consume huge buildings once the 4️⃣ hole gets big enough, however it is a bit of a risk because it’s possible to underestimate the size of 4️⃣ an object. If it won’t fit inside, you will end up wasting your time. Instead spend some time adjusting to 4️⃣ your new size by going for smaller prey.

If you have been having trouble making it to the top of the 4️⃣ score board and besting other players, these tips will hopefully help you overcome some of the major difficulties. Ultimately, we 4️⃣ tend to produce best results after entering that focused meditative flow state of mind, but you need to become really 4️⃣ comfortable and familiar with the game in order to achieve it. Good luck becoming the best at Hole.io!
