Tuynuk: a view from above with several holes eating the city

The first 15 seconds

  • Rows of bollards at crossings and roadwork cones are the cheapest start: several points in one pass.
  • Then follow the pavement: lamps, benches and people come one after another. Your first car, worth 22 points, lifts your level at once.
  • Meet a car from the front: it keeps driving along the road and is hard to catch from behind.

Which blocks pay most

  • The market: stalls, melon piles, bread carts. The densest food for a small hole.
  • The park: up to 30 trees. Past a 2.7 m radius each plane tree is worth 26 points.
  • The neighbourhood: past 5 m houses fall one after another at 95–140 points each.
  • The last minute is for landmarks: hotel, blue dome, madrasa and TV tower give 1300–2200 points and a single one can change the standings. Stay close, but check your radius first.

Rivals

The arrows at the screen edge show nearby holes; a red glow means that one is clearly bigger than you. A big hole swallows you when it covers your centre, so escape along an open street. Pin a smaller rival against buildings and cover it from the side: that gives you 20% of their points plus a bonus.

If you get swallowed

Do not lose heart: 80% of your points stay, the hole is smaller, but levels are cheap at a small radius. A lot can be won back in 15–20 seconds. Street traffic nearby, cars and people, restores you fastest.

FAQ

Can I stand still and eat?

Only if walkers come to you. To grow fast keep moving: it all depends on how dense the objects are.

Do bots cheat?

No. Bots follow the same rules as you and move a little slower than people.
