Gluttony is a unique educational arcade game where you control a hungry, monster-like hole. Played entirely in your browser, this HTML5 title combines the satisfying growth mechanics of snake games and Hole.io with a clever mathematical twist.
Your goal is to navigate a map, swallowing numbered blocks that correctly solve the on-screen equation to grow larger.
At the top of your screen, you'll see a simple math problem, such as a target number you need to reach. The play area is filled with blocks, each with a different number.
You must guide your hole to consume only the blocks that will solve the equation.
For example, if the target is '10', you might need to swallow a '7' and a '3', or two '5's. The challenge lies in quickly identifying the correct numbers and maneuvering to them without accidentally swallowing any incorrect ones.
Every time you successfully complete an equation, your monstrous hole grows in size. This is the core progression mechanic in Gluttony. A larger hole has a wider radius, making it easier to swallow multiple blocks at once and clear the stage faster.
However, a bigger size can also be a liability. It becomes harder to navigate tight spaces and avoid the wrong numbers, adding a layer of strategic planning to your movements. If you swallow an incorrect number, your hole will shrink, undoing your hard work.
Because Gluttony is a browser-based game, you can play it for free without any downloads or installations. It runs directly in your web browser, making it easy to access on school networks, work computers, or any device with an internet connection.
Just load the page and start solving math problems.
The goal in Gluttony is to grow your hole as large as possible by solving math puzzles. A target number or equation will appear on screen, and you must consume the correct numbered blocks to solve it and increase your size.
Control is simple and intuitive. Use your mouse to move the hole around the play area. The hole will follow your cursor's position on the screen.
Each time you successfully swallow the right numbers to complete the equation, your hole gets bigger. As you grow, you can consume larger items. Swallowing the wrong numbers will cause you to shrink, so be careful with your movements.
The game gets progressively harder, with more complex equations and more incorrect numbers cluttering the map. Plan your path carefully to solve the problems before the time runs out.
Plan Your Route - Before moving, quickly scan the area for the numbers you need. A direct path saves time and reduces the risk of swallowing wrong numbers.
Avoid Mistakes - It's better to take an extra second to line up a perfect swallow than to rush and accidentally consume a number that shrinks you. Use Your Size - Once you're bigger, you can swallow multiple blocks at once.
Try to line up several correct numbers and consume them in a single pass. Clear Space - If the area is too cluttered, focus on swallowing numbers in one section to create an open space, making it easier to navigate.
Think Ahead - As you're solving one equation, keep an eye out for numbers you might need for the next one to maintain your momentum.
