Attack Hole - Black Hole Games

Review by eFreeware

The pitch behind Attack Hole is about as direct as an arcade game gets: you control a black hole, and your job is to swallow everything it can reach. Weapons, bullet stacks, whatever is lying around the hall — all of it goes down the hole. That single idea, tap to move and eat to grow, is what the game builds everything else on, and it is the reason the concept stands out from the usual tap-and-dodge arcade fare.

It comes from Homa and has been on Google Play since September 2022. The numbers are substantial: more than 100 million installs and a 4.2 average across 445,031 ratings. It is free to download, carries ads, and offers in-app purchases. The content rating is Everyone 10+.

I would point this at players who want something undemanding to pick up in spare moments — a run that starts with a small hole and a room full of objects and ends with a fight. If you like the idea of a game where progress is measured by how much you have swallowed, the premise alone will tell you whether it appeals.

A hall of weapons and a hole that grows

The setting is a large hall filled with guns, bombs and stacks of bullets. You move a black hole around this space and consume what you can. The developer describes it as an eating simulator, and that is a fair description of the core loop: the hole is the tool, the weapons are the food, and clearing the room is the goal.

Size matters in a way that shapes how you approach each run. A small hole cannot take in the biggest guns, so you start with what is manageable and work up. The developer notes that larger weapons require a larger hole, which turns the early part of a session into a process of building capacity before you can go after the impressive pieces. That progression from nibbling at small items to swallowing entire weapon stacks is the spine of the game.

There is a clock running, and that pressure shapes the pace. You are not free to drift around the hall indefinitely; the time limit gives the eating a sense of urgency and makes the order in which you consume things matter. I would expect that tension between wanting the big prizes and needing to grow first to be where most of the decision-making sits.

How a run unfolds

A typical session follows a recognizable arc. You begin with a modest black hole in a room full of weapons and bullet stacks. You tap to move it, swallow what fits, and gradually increase its capacity. The more you take in, the more the hole can handle, which opens up the larger guns and denser stacks that were out of reach at the start.

There is also a wormhole and the ability to cut through the black hole circle, which fits how you consume the weapons around you. The emphasis throughout is on taking everything down the hole, filling it with as many bullets and guns as possible.

At the end of the run, the collected firepower is turned against giant enemies. Bosses dare your black hole, and the weapons you swallowed are what you use to fight and destroy them. So the eating phase is not just about a score; it feeds directly into a confrontation that closes out the session. That structure — gather, grow, then fight — is what gives the arcade loop a clear finish line rather than letting it trail off.

Solo runs, multiplayer and skins

Attack Hole can be played alone or in multiplayer. That choice gives the game two different moods: a solo run where the only pressure is the clock and your own decisions, and a multiplayer match where other players are working the same hall.

There are also black hole skins to choose between. These let you pick your favorite look before heading into the hall, a small personalization layer on top of the core loop. It does not change what the game is, but it gives you something to work toward beyond raw size.

What keeps a game like this going is the combination of a short run, a visible measure of progress in the growing hole, and a boss waiting at the end. Each session has a beginning, a middle and a conclusion, which suits the kind of play where you want a complete arc in a few minutes rather than an open-ended grind.

What it costs and what comes with it

Attack Hole is free to download. It contains ads and offers in-app purchases. Those are the terms, and they are worth weighing alongside the fact that the game has attracted a very large audience, more than 100 million installs, on that model.

The content rating is Everyone 10+, which puts it in the range where a broad audience can pick it up. The game was last updated on April 30, 2026, so it is receiving attention rather than sitting untouched.

For a free arcade game with this kind of reach, the practical question is whether the loop holds your interest past the first few runs. The premise is simple enough to grasp immediately, and the boss fight at the end gives each session a reason to finish. Whether the ads and purchases sit comfortably within that experience is something you will judge for yourself once you are playing.

A straightforward pick for short arcade sessions

Attack Hole does one thing and does it without much ambiguity: you steer a black hole, you swallow weapons, you grow, and you take on a boss with what you have collected. It works as an eating simulator, and the time limit keeps the eating from becoming aimless. The multiplayer option and the skins add a little variety on top of that core.

I would recommend it to players who enjoy arcade games with a clear objective and a short session length — something to occupy a few minutes where the goal is obvious from the first tap. The free download, the large install base and the 4.2 average suggest it has found that audience. If the idea of consuming a room full of weapons with a growing hole sounds appealing, the game is built around exactly that, and the boss fight gives it a proper ending.
