Color Hole 3D Guide: Tips, Cheats and Strategies

Color Hole 3D is one of those minimalistic high score chasers that everyone loves on mobile. You have to swipe to steer a hole around a series of levels, dropping a bunch of white shapes into it. Accidentally drop a coloured shape in and it’s game over.

While it’s a very simple affair on paper, in practice it actually gets quite tricky during the later stages. That’s why we thought it was a good idea to write this guide, and help you guys progress as quickly as possible to earn that all-important high score.

Color Hole 3D Tips and Tricks:

Patience is a Virtue:

Patience is the name of the game here. Rather than rush around trying to swallow up all of the white stuff in one go, we recommend making your way slowly around the level, gathering up the stuff with precision.

Try Not to Knock Anything Over:

When swiping around the level, try to ensure that you don’t accidentally knock anything over. The white shapes can spill and roll around the level, depending on their shape, which makes it difficult to collect them if they go anywhere near coloured shapes. Be careful and precise when moving about.

Pay Attention to Shapes:

Don’t just mindlessly roll around the arena – pay attention to the shapes of the white objects so you can predict how they’ll react when you roll close to them. Standing rectangles might fall into nearby objects, spheres might roll away, an squares probably won’t move.

Color Hole 3D Obeys the Laws of Physics:

The physics are surprisingly well designed in Color Hole 3D, so you can safely expect everything to behave as it would in real life. You can use that to your advantage by luring colours away from white blocks, for example.

Keep an Eye Out For Hidden Coloured Shapes:

Coloured shapes can hide in plain sight, including on tops of or behind white shapes. There are also very small coloured shapes that almost blend in with the scenery. Keep a close eye out.
