One asks you to play the hole in the ground. The other gives you four painted squares and lets you slide them into each other. Neither has a hint button, a timer or a level counter, and neither takes another cent after the purchase.

You control the hole. Drag it under a fence post and the post drops in; the hole grows; now it can take the shed. Half an hour later it takes the house. There is no failure and almost no difficulty, and that is deliberate — the game is a joke about consumption told through a physics toy.

Four painted panels in a two-by-two grid. Slide one over another and their images join into a place that neither showed alone.

Prices, advertising labels and purchase labels were read from the Canadian Google Play listings on that date. Everything else comes from playing the games.
Annapurna Interactive
The verb is dragging. A hole sits in the ground and you move it; anything smaller than the hole falls in and the hole gets a little wider. That is the entire system, and the game spends two hours finding new things to do with it — a snake that must be swallowed tail first, a bonfire that has to fall in still burning, a hole that fills with water and floats what it just ate.
Between levels there is dialogue, and it is genuinely funny in a dry way that mobile games almost never attempt. A raccoon has been using an app to delete the town for reward points. Everyone he ate is now underground, arguing with him about it.
Two things to know before buying. It is short: most people finish in one long evening. And it is not difficult — there are perhaps three moments that require a second attempt. If you want to be tested, this is not the purchase. If you want two hours of something you have not seen before, it is.

The screen holds four squares. Each is a hand-painted illustration, and each can be zoomed into or panned across, revealing that a small detail in one is a whole scene of its own. Then comes the move that no other game has: a panel can be dragged on top of another, and if the two images line up — a doorway in one over a corridor in the other — they become a single continuous place.
Nothing is written down. There is no tutorial text, no inventory and no dialogue. What the game teaches, it teaches by letting a solution work once and trusting you to notice why.
The drawing is the reason it holds together: every panel is painted at a level of detail that survives being zoomed into three times. It is also, again, short — two to three hours — and the last chapter is markedly harder than the rest, which is where most people reach for a walkthrough. Worth knowing that the difficulty is uneven rather than rising.

Store rows read on 7 September 2026. Play-time rows are our own estimate from finishing both.
Both games were bought at full price on a personal Google account and played to the end on a phone and a tablet. Nothing here comes from a press key, and nobody was asked for one.
We do not give scores. A number out of ten suggests a measurement, and there is no measurement behind an opinion about whether a two-hour game about a hole is worth seven dollars. What we can do is state the length, the price and the demands accurately, and let the reader decide.
Store facts — price, advertising, purchases — are re-read whenever this page is revised, and the date at the top changes with them. If you find one of those lines out of date, writing to us is the fastest way to get it fixed.
