Somewhere in our universe, there is the Black Hole. She was overfilled with emptiness, but still trying to be fit, either not to die.​

She was born in a tough galaxy, full of other angry and ambitious blackholes, which don't have any borders. Besides them all, small ships are flying across the universe. These little buddies are blackholes' food.

Our Black Hole has one special ability. She knows everything about every living creature, she had eaten. Because of this, she suffers because of conscience and proud of herself at the same time. She is clearing the world from such bad and such good creatures.

It was kind of hard to tell what I was supposed to be doing, great art and music.

Controlling the black hole was a little hard, and I wasn't really sure on how the mechanics work. I got to what I think is the end, I ate way more bad guys than good guys (I guess). Not sure if that's trying to say something about humanity lol. Well done :smile:

Nice theme, the messages in the corner made me laugh :smile:
I wish the blackhole was a little bit faster to make gameplay feel quicker, but asside from that very fun :smile:

@mmason thank u for feedback! :)

@mactinite thank u a lot for review!) we will take this into account in the future

@scottdev very nice to read your massage! Originaly, it was faster, but it made the game less harmonious, as it resonated with music. :)

@emty Yeaah, we knew somebody will appreciate! :D Thanx!

@clvp Glad u liked it! Thank u :)

@mikethehuman Thanks a lot! You probably lost 'cos you've been overeating :D

@torami Scoring mechanism isn't important! It's only important, if you enjoyed and had any fun playing this ;D

Instantly love the idea and name, but i can't run the build on itch. It doesn't load just for me or for somebody else?

@aisus Yes, the game didn't load for some time for an unknown reason. But now everything works! Try to restart or wait a bit if problem is still relevant. And thank you very much for your interest!
aisus8 Oct 2019, 23:27
@creativ4eg Thanks, it loads now!

So, guys, it's one of the prettiest projects i've seen here today. Nice simple concept, good portion of black humor with pilots messages, absolutley marvelous title, lol. And good music, too.

It can be more enjoyable with non-fixed camera and parallax backgound, but these things are just my little obsession :)

So, pretty cool, well done!

Very somber and thoughtful game. I really like the music, though I wonder about the eating sound effect.

@shugor, yeah, we didn’t have enough time to fix it, but yes, this is strange, but cool ;)

Ooh, the music is very relaxing. Great work on the game!

Very pretty game with great music. The ambience and overall mood were stellar (no pun intended). I also liked the messages received when eating ships, but the message box did get in the way of gameplay a little. I thought the growing and shrinking mechanics were very well done, and it was cool to see some blackholes become massive after eating a large number of ships.
Nice job!

@space-nomad management is intentionally so slow in order to convey the atmosphere, thanks for the feedback!)
