How to play

One rule, two gestures.

The rule

The dashed circle around your hole is your reach. Anything that touches it is resolved at once:

• Smaller than you — swallowed. You score, and you grow a little.
• Bigger than you — the run ends.

Reading the rims

• Green rim — smaller than you right now. Food.
• Red rim — bigger than you right now. Grow past it, or get out of its way.
• Red rim with a second dashed ring — beyond even your maximum size. No amount of growing saves you. Shrink and let it pass.
• Gold rim — a MEGA. It comes straight down the middle and cannot be dodged. It sits just inside your maximum size, so you must grow almost all the way to swallow it.

Rims update live as you change size, so the answer to “can I eat this?” is always on screen.

Controls

Gestures (the default, no buttons on screen):

• Touch — pinch with two fingers. Spread to grow, squeeze to shrink.
• Trackpad — pinch, or scroll with two fingers.
• Mouse — wheel up to grow, wheel down to shrink.

On-screen buttons are available instead — open Settings (⚙️) and switch. Hold the left half of the screen to shrink and the right half to grow.

Keys work in both schemes: ← ↓ A S shrink, → ↑ W D Space grow. Space or Enter restarts instantly.

Let go and your size drifts back to neutral. Committing to a size is deliberate, and it costs you something — that is the whole game.

Scoring

• Bigger prey, relative to your size, is worth far more than crumbs.
• Swallowing something close to your own size scores a PERFECT bonus.
• Keep eating to build a combo multiplier. It decays if you go hungry.
• A MEGA is worth the most of all.

Revive

Once per run, after dying, you can continue by watching a short video. It is entirely optional and you can cancel it at any point.
