Black Star is made with Ludum Dare 42's Theme "Running out of Space". It is a top-down shooter similar to the class game "Asteroids", however, you must shoot the debris before it gets sucked up into black holes. Black holes are death zones that grow whenever they consume something, so the player must try to keep them from growing as much as possible.
Black Star is an unwinnable game. Instead, the challenge comes from trying to last as long as possible as space itself slowly devours you. Players will get a unique experience every time, as they try to see how long they can last in the cold vacuum of space.
I tried playing twice and both times, the black holes weren't very threatening. I didn't notice the connection between their growing and the asteroids because I was shooting down every asteroid I saw. Perhaps I am too good at these games.
