Gulp.io
Become a hungry black hole, swallow the whole city and grow bigger and bigger. Gobble up smaller holes, escape the giants and climb to the top of the leaderboard in this fast .io arena game.
About this game
Gulp.io is a fast .io arena game in which you play a black hole. The goal is simple: swallow everything. You start small in a busy city full of cones, bins, crates, trees and cars. When your hole slides over something smaller than you, it drops in and you grow.
The bigger you get, the bigger the things you can swallow: from traffic cones to buses, houses, apartment blocks, towers and giant skyscrapers. An on-screen hint always shows what you can swallow next, so you know how much growing is left. But you are not alone in the arena. Other holes are hunting the same city, and the rule is simple: a hole that is clearly bigger than another can swallow it whole and steal most of its size. Chase small holes to grow fast, and run from the giants.
There are no rounds and no waiting: you join, grow, get swallowed and jump right back in. Climb the live leaderboard, beat your own record and become the biggest hole in the city.
Tips
- At first, grow by quickly swallowing small objects and avoid fights until your hole is bigger.
- Use buildings as cover; you can slip behind a large hole and escape.
- Do not attack when the size difference is not obvious, because uncertain encounters are risky.
- Think about your escape route before you attack.
On a computer you play with the mouse or WASD/arrow keys, and on a phone in landscape with the on-screen joystick. No sign-up is needed; you pick a nickname and start.
How to play
Move your hole around the city and swallow everything that is smaller than you to grow. The bigger you get, the bigger the objects you can swallow, from cones and cars to houses and skyscrapers. Eat other holes that are clearly smaller than you and run away from bigger ones. Survive as long as you can and reach #1 on the leaderboard.
