I loved the challenge
Thu May 29 2025 AmchopUpdate: Don’t let anyone tell these games are unbeatable! I made it to level 200 not even 15 days later w/o using any of the coins I won(9250), nor using any power ups after starting over. It’s much more fun playing this way!
This game is so fun if you love the fact that there is always a solution! I have limited myself to only beating the levels while not using the boost options. I started off playing that way, but I realized it much more fun trying to win without them. So I erased my progress in the game and started over to experience the full effect of my problem solving alone. Best game I’ve ever played!
No way to win
Fri Apr 11 2025 1956CatsThis was a fun game until I got to level 108. There is no way for me to pass this level. Too many bombs; not enough time; you earn 20 coins for passing a level (40 if you watch an ad) but it costs 900 coins to continue a level instead of starting over. If you need more time it’s 1900 coins!!! And No - I AM NOT PAYING REAL MONEY FOR MORE COINS TO CONTINUE.
Why don’t you have an option to skip a level? I’d pay a reasonable amount of coins (NOT 900!) to skip a level. Right now I’m stuck. Can’t pass the level; running out of coins; can’t skip the level - so what do I do? Delete the game is my only option here. Then what? Reload and start over to do the same 108 levels before I get stuck again?? It took me 3 days to get to level 108. At that rate I’ll have to delete and reload twice a week just to play the same levels all the time. I have games that I’ve been playing for YEARS without this problem. Certainly you can find a way to fix this to make the game more enjoyable for everyone. I’m not holding my breath waiting for changes; thanks for listening anyway.
Good concept, definitive end
Mon Sep 01 2025 Smfplayer1I like the concept. The game is fun and involves some strategy and planning. Some levels get tough and you need power ups to get through them. Then you get to level 166. I’ve been stuck on this level for days. I can usually find tricks to be able to beat these levels, but this one absolutely cannot be defeated without power ups, and I’m out.
The issue I have with this game is the tired old tactics that are still being used in these games. You get a certain amount of lives. They take forever to generate, and once you run out, all you can do is pay or wait. Why is this considered a good idea? Money is made every time an ad plays, but it’s considered a better idea to stop the player from playing. There’s also no way to build coins or power ups except for winning levels. So eventually, you have to pay money. In usually willing to support the developer by paying once or twice, a small amount for a game that I’ve played long enough to say I enjoy it. However these prices are too high, especially for the reward. At this point I just hope there is a knockoff like so often happens, but with a more reasonable developer.
Disappointing but fantastic idea
Thu May 15 2025 WhizKid9Really thought this would be different from other puzzle or strategy games; however, support is non-existent and the glitches mandate spending money. Normally, I’ll avoid using boosters or coins (in any game) unless absolutely necessary. “Hole People” developers have created a glitch on specific levels (screen record as proof) to force players to use boosters or coins to pass a level. I don’t mind attempting to pass a level several (25+) times when I believe it can be completed through simple logic. Unfortunately, the game is rigged and I’ve noticed variations on how the level can be passed (how many people actively escape via the hole). The earning coins upon level completion is disproportionate to say the least, which slows progression. Support never replied after contacting them. Rollic Games should do better; I’ll avoid them in the future.
Amazingly original game!
Sun Apr 06 2025 JBDonlevyLet’s face it, with the deluge of games that are in the App Store it’s really hard to find one that’s original. But Hole People completely delivers on originality and fun gameplay! It’s the most original play on “filling the buses” that I’ve ever seen. It’s fun and challenging & I love the way the little people are put in to the holes with the spaceship. 🤭 The game is well thought out and cleverly designed with great graphics. I highly recommend this game if you want something original and if you like the “fill the bus” type of games. I would give this game 10 stars, which I VERY rarely do, if I could! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Fun w A Couple of Issues
Thu Jul 10 2025 IveyMcKFirst of all, I am loving this game. It’s fun and addictive. Graphics are good and the vibrancy is great.
I have 2 issues at this time, which are the only impediments to a 5 star rating.
First, I made an in-app purchase that I paid for but did not get credited to my game account. No boosts or coins in the purchase package.
I used the chat option in support to reach out for assistance but the chat bot left me hanging unresolved. No more responses.
The app says that all levels are winable without using boosts, but the upper “hard levels” are killer! I do like that it is challenging and is not mundane at all. I like the fact that it is challenging and relaxing at the same time. I hope to remedy my purchase issue and can give a better rating.
My levels are different than everyone else’s
Wed Aug 06 2025 Crys's ReviewsI really liked this app and have been addicted to playing since I got it a few weeks ago. I’ve been stuck on MY version of 351 for a while, which is quite literally unsolvable without paying. Trying to see online if anyone else has this problem, the level 351 everyone else has literally has 4 colors arranged simply while mine is impossibly convoluted! On top that, after paying to beat it, I’m on 352 which also has the same issue— everyone else’s verso. Of 352 online is so different than mine is! This is utter nonsense. If you want an app that is consistent and you can work together with other players online, don’t hold your breath. Developers— make your game CONSISTENT with all levels between players!
Level 115 is impossible
Fri Jul 18 2025 Jax ScalesI had to delete this game at 115 because there is literally no way to get past this level. The bombs are annoying because it still explodes even if you are about to do what it wanted when it had one second left. I was SO CLOSE multiple times, but I had no way of getting more coins to continue the level (had 880). I started at just about every possible area of the board to see if that would help. Still nothing. 10 seconds on those bombs is NOT enough time. This is all so stupid because I really enjoyed the game, but this one thing made it completely not possible for me to continue playing.
Very annoying
Mon Jul 07 2025 The only good pig is a popped pigIt’s the usual play until you die five times and each life automatically regenerates every thirty minutes…at least that’s what I thought it was like. If I just switch apps when I run out of lives and go back several hours later only one life is regenerated and the thirty minute countdown for my second life starts when I wake the app back up. If I fall asleep while playing the game with only 2 lives left when I wake up in the morning and turn my iPad back on with the game still running I still only have 2 lives left. It’s so frustrating when you want to replay it you can’t because your lives aren’t regenerating like they should. Other than that it’s a fun game to play, the animation is funny to watch and the puzzles are decent.
Too many glitches
Sun Oct 05 2025 Not mad but sometimes stillI am in the 500s for levels and was having a lot of issues with the game failing, saying I lost when there were still moves I could make etc. I contacted the app but they didn’t do anything. I had purchased the “golden pass” which is supposed to come with maximum 8 lives, but it only gave me 5. Again, contacted the app and no response. I then purchased a package to help finish a level and beat it (and several after that) only to log in the next day and find the app had brought me back to the same level! So they basically stole my money. It was fun at first, but at this point the level of glitches are ridiculous. I will be contacting Apple to get a refund for my purchases since I didn’t actually receive them.
