Hole Upper For 2 Players

About Hole Upper For 2 Players

Hole Upper For 2 Players takes the hungry-hole idea and builds it for two people at once: the screen splits, each player steers their own hole, and every colourful geometric block you swallow makes your hole bigger so it can take on larger pieces. Size is the whole scoreboard, and the race ends when the timer runs out.

Because it is local split-screen rather than turn-based, both players are eating at the same time, which is where the chaos comes from. It sits with Egg Challenge and Extreme Thumb Wars as one of the site's simultaneous two-player games rather than an alternating one.

How to play

Player 1 steers their hole with the WASD keys; Player 2 uses the arrow keys. On a touch device each player drags the on-screen joystick. Move over blocks to swallow them — every piece consumed grows your hole, and a bigger hole can take bigger blocks. Out-eat your opponent before the timer hits zero.

Controls

• Player 1 — WASD keys, or the on-screen joystick
• Player 2 — arrow keys, or the on-screen joystick
• Split-screen; both players move at the same time

Tips to win

• Clear the small blocks near you first. Early growth is what lets you take the bigger pieces later.
• Keep an eye on the timer and plan a route through dense clusters rather than chasing single blocks.
• Do not chase a block you cannot yet swallow — the time lost costs more than it is worth.

Hole Upper For 2 Players strategy guide

Size is everything in this race. Hole Upper For 2 Players gives each player a hungry hole and a split screen. You steer over colourful geometric blocks to swallow them, and everything you eat makes your hole larger. The aim is to out-eat your opponent before the timer runs out, so every second spent not eating is a second your rival may be using better.

Start small to grow fast. At the beginning your hole can only take small pieces, so clear those first. Early growth is what lets you move on to bigger blocks later. Trying to swallow something too large wastes precious time and gains you nothing, so work up from the smallest items near you and let size come naturally.

Plan a route instead of wandering. With a timer running, efficient movement matters. Sweep through dense clusters of blocks rather than zigzagging after single pieces scattered across the board. A smooth path that picks up many items in a row is far more productive than darting back and forth, and it keeps your growth steady.

Keep an eye on the other half of the screen. Because you are competing head-to-head, glance at your opponent's side now and then to see how they are doing. If they are pulling ahead, speed up your route or change strategy; if you are ahead, stay focused and avoid silly detours. Knowing the state of the race helps you decide how many risks to take.

Learn the controls and pick your side. Player 1 moves with the WASD keys and Player 2 uses the arrow keys; on a touchscreen each player can drag the on-screen joystick instead. Choose your colour, make sure both of you have room on the keyboard, and try a quick round to get used to the physics. The better you know how your hole moves, the more you can eat before time is up.
