Drag with the mouse or use arrow keys on desktop; swipe on touch screens to move the hole through the arena.
Start each stage by checking the mission objective. Move your hole toward objects that match your current size, collect coins when they lead toward useful targets, and avoid wasting time on objects that are still too large. As your black hole grows, switch from small props to cars, buildings, and larger mission targets.
