Hole in the Wall is a movement-based last-man-standing game on MCC Island, which was introduced in Patch 0.1.0, with the release of the server.
Official Description
See here for Hole in the Wall's page on the forums.
Stay alive for as long as you can and avoid a barrage of obstacles without being pushed off the platform, while large walls of slime converge on you from all directions! Over time, walls will get speedier and the platform will crumble beneath your feet so watch your step - the last one standing wins!
Gameplay
Hole in the Wall is a last-man-standing game, in which players stand on a platform and try to dodge through giant slime walls or fall into the void. The game is played in a 3-minute 30-seconds round. A player wins if they are the last one standing, or survive the entire duration of the game.
In addition, traps occur throughout the game to distract, disrupt and inconvenience the player. As the game progresses, traps are set off more often, until the last minute when they are activated every 5 seconds.
The minimum player count is 8, while the maximum player count is 12.

Aside from these changes, the platform floor of the map also deteriorates as the game progresses. The floor shrinks each time either 1/3rd of the lobby has been eliminated or 1/3rd of the total time has elapsed (1 minute 10 seconds), whichever occurs first.
Walls
In addition to average walls in the game which glide right through the arena, there are also special types of walls. These wall types can also stack and apply on top of one another, increasing the variety of behaviours walls can have.
Returning Walls
These walls move through the arena like normal, but after reaching the side opposite to the one they started at, they 'return', as indicated by their name. Returning walls also flip their pistons when they reverse directions.
Sike Walls
These walls also move through the arena like normal, but just before they reach the platform, they stop. Then, they will either disappear after a short period, or wait until the platform is clear before continuing. Sike walls are always paired with at least 1 real wall, and there can be up to 3 on any given 'wave' of walls. Only two sike walls per wave can wait for the platform to clear instead of disappearing.
Fakeout Walls
These walls move at super fast speed through the arena until they reach the platform, at which point they slow down to the current Wall Speed.
Traps
Traps are triggered at a rate according to the current Trap Frequency. They can be anything from mob spawns, special items granted, and arena changes. The following is a list of all traps currently in Hole in the Wall:
