Hole Land is a 1984's arcade game developed by Tecfri[1].

Gameplay

Player controls a multi-colored robot able to jump and shoot enemies such as small humanoids, rats and snakes that come from holes on the screen. The goal is to eliminate them all. Enemies are able to attack the player with bombs, making him unable to jump or shoot for a short time. The player can also become defenseless getting hit by rocks coming from vulcans. A life is lost when enemies touch the player and take away the robot's lower half, which can be avoided by jumping over them without touching them. At the two first stages, everytime the robot is damaged by rocks and bombs, a friendly short old man appears to help and fix it.

The game has three stages. At the last part of the third one, the player faces off a hideous giant monster with a ball-shaped body and an enormous mouth with pointed teeth. The goal is to shoot and destroy all of its teeth before it can reaches the player's position, otherwise the monster will devour the robot. If the player manages to defeat it, the game returns itself to the first stage.
