Palm Hole Swallow

Goal of the game

In Palm Hole Swallow you play with your hand in front of the camera. io. Move your OPEN PALM to slide a black hole across the toy city. Anything smaller than the hole falls in: food, pets, cars, then trees and houses as you grow.

Things bigger than the hole just bump. Red BOMBS hurt — keep away unless you have a Shield or Star. Fill the meter before the timer ends to clear the level. Power-ups: Giant hole, Magnet, Shield, Double, Freeze. Use 🎚️ to change how far the hole moves. Mouse works too.
