About Fill Up The Hole
Fill Up The Hole is an idle city builder about a village with one job: produce as much garbage as possible and throw it into a hole. You run the little peons who do the work, and as you buy upgrades and new features, the village grows and changes around them.
The art is all black and white pixels, which keeps the screen easy to read even when it gets busy. The start screen sets the scene with a strip of grass, a few tiny peons, some sprouts and the outline of the hole off to one side. Most of the game runs on the mouse. You left click to interact, and you can steer the camera with a right click or the WASD keys.
The web version is marked as a demo, and a run lasts around half an hour. There's a Relax Mode checkbox on the start screen next to the New button. You can play Fill Up The Hole online right here in a browser tab.
How to Play Fill Up The Hole
- Press New on the start screen to begin a village.
- Left click to interact with things in the village.
- Right click or use WASD to move the camera, and hold Shift with WASD to scroll faster.
- Zoom with the mouse wheel, or with the + and - keys.
- Keep the garbage flowing into the hole, and buy upgrades to grow the village.
What to Expect in Fill Up The Hole
It's a cheerful, slightly silly premise played straight. Garbage is the product, the hole is the only customer, and the village keeps expanding to keep up. New upgrades and features arrive as you go, so the screen looks very different after half an hour than it did at the start.
As an idle game, it's about steady growth more than fast reactions. You can zoom out to take in the whole village or zoom in to watch the peons at work, and fast camera scrolling makes it easy to jump between the two. Playing Fill Up The Hole free in a browser makes it an easy half-hour break.
Tips for Fill Up The Hole
- Zoom out now and then to see the whole village. It's easier to spot what's holding production back from a distance.
- Hold Shift while using WASD to cross a bigger village quickly.
- Play a run in one sitting. An update to the game can wipe a save, so do not count on a long village lasting forever.
- Put early upgrades into anything that makes more garbage. More junk going into the hole is what pushes the village forward.
- Use the + and - keys to zoom if you're on a trackpad without a scroll wheel.

Can I play Fill Up The Hole on a Chromebook or phone?
A Chromebook works well, since the game is played mostly with the mouse and runs in a browser tab. A mouse with a scroll wheel makes zooming easier, though the + and - keys do the same job. On a phone, moving the camera and zooming can be awkward, so a computer is the safer choice.
Is Fill Up The Hole unblocked at school?
If you're looking for Fill Up The Hole unblocked, it only needs a browser tab, with nothing to download. Whether it opens on a school or work network comes down to that network's filters, which we do not control. If the game loads here, you can play it.
Does Fill Up The Hole save your progress?
It saves, but progress can be lost when the game gets an update, so treat a long village as temporary. Saves live in your browser, so clearing site data or playing in a private window can also wipe them. The safest plan is to play a half-hour run in one sitting.
Is Fill Up The Hole an idle game?
Yes. It's an idle game with city builder and incremental parts. You set up the garbage operation, buy upgrades and watch the village expand, and there's no need for quick reflexes. The black and white pixel art keeps everything easy to follow as the village grows.
