Tuynuk: a car sliding over the rim of the hole

Goal

Score the most points in two minutes. Points depend on the size of what you swallow, and they decide your place at the end of the round.

Two things must be true to swallow something: the radius is big enough and the object’s centre is inside the hole. If the radius is too small, a building wobbles on the rim but stays up: you have to grow first.

Growth

A hole has 21 levels. Each one costs more than the last: the radius follows the square root of the points gathered. At first a few cones give a level; later it takes a whole building. Speed falls slightly with size: a 1.7 m hole moves at 9.3 m/s, a 20 m hole at 8 m/s.

Hole versus hole

  • A hole with at least 1.2 times the radius swallows a smaller one when it covers its centre.
  • The swallowed player loses 20% of their points, shrinks and returns after 3 seconds, away from the big holes.
  • After returning you have 2 seconds of protection: the ring flashes and nobody can swallow you.
  • The hole that did it gets those points plus a bonus, and it grows too.

Round and room

  • A round is exactly 2:00. When time is up the score stops and the top three step onto the podium.
  • Up to 12 holes per room. People land in the same open room; if the round is young you join it, if it is near the end a new one starts at once.
  • People and cars come back after a while, so a small hole always has food. Buildings and street furniture do not: the city really does empty out.

FAQ

What if I touch a big building?

Nothing: the hole slides beneath it and the building wobbles. Once you are big enough it falls in.

Who computes the score?

Only the server. The browser shows movement ahead of time, but the result and leaderboard are decided on the server.

Are there random rewards or money?

No. There are no stakes, currency or random rewards: everyone plays on equal terms.
