Fill a Magical Hole
Clear Rocks for Space
Turn trash into cash in a dystopian world! Fill Up The Hole is a short incremental game where you build a city, automate garbage production, and toss it into a magical hole for profit.
Developed by Fluffy Lotus · Published by Fluffy Lotus
You oversee a small village whose peons produce and carry garbage to a magical hole. Filling it drives your progress and earns resources for growing the settlement.
Build and upgrade different structures to increase production, then arrange them to improve how garbage moves through your village. Clear rocks to open building space, manage workers, and use research and skills to develop your approach.
Buildings lose durability and can break, while building-specific minigames and other discoveries add extra systems to uncover. The game offers two endings, along with extended and relaxed modes that change the pace of a playthrough.
Reviewers who enjoy the game often praise its compact, satisfying incremental loop: build up production, unlock upgrades, and watch the garbage and numbers pile up. Many describe it as a relaxed game for a few hours, with appealing building variety and small strategic choices. Others find the experience short or slow in the middle, and some criticize unclear minigames and progression; a recurring comparison to The Gnorp Apologue also leads some players to call it derivative.
Fill Up The Hole is a short incremental game where you help peons create as much garbage as possible and toss it into a hole. Watch your village grow and evolve as you unlock visual upgrades and new features.
