A lightweight incremental game where you progressively feed a black hole by destroying asteroids, planets, and stars to unlock upgrades. The core loop involves automating destruction and purchasing improvements along a tech tree, though progression follows a largely predetermined path with limited meaningful choices. Best suited for players seeking a casual idle experience rather than strategic depth.

Its cute, a sorta ok time waster, but it just doesn't feel satisfying. The tech tree, even tho its laid out branch style, is extremely linear due to its costs; you're expected to get the upgrades in a certain order, which causes gaps in what you would like to get. Like I wanted to focus more on electric asteroids early, or breaker size, but no, the game decides you've had enough and its time to increase the mass or go to planets.
So now you don't feel like you can break anything again, it never lets you feel like you got a nice power spike, because then the costs and hp immediatly go up so you can't enjoy anything.
The moons don't last nearly as long as they need to to feel satisfying, and theres no upgrade to increase the duration, so it just constantly feels like being edged the whole time. You can never get anything going.
This is an early access game in disguise. The upgrade path is effectively forced, to the point where it might as well be automated. The main game mode is okay, while the additional modes are just worse versions of it. It would have been better to focus on making one great game mode instead of shipping four subpar extra modes alongside six ‘coming soon’ ones.
A fantastic incremental that doesn't get completely ruined by an autoclicker *and* keeps up the pace of upgrading phenominally. However, I want to specficially mention the devs here. The devs literally updated the game and added a startup option for compatability with lower-end PC's *specifically* for me. I'm sure this will help others too, but the simple fact they're willng to go to those lengths purely so *one guy* can play their game is a level of integrity that deserves to be commended. Buy this game, have fun, and be sure to leave a review, because these guys absolutely deserve it.
Our Next Games + New Mode for Black HoleHey there, we hope you've had a nice start to your June! Cory and I are doing well and have been hard at work on our next games. As always a huge thank you for the continued support and feedback about our new modes! While we are busy cooking our next game we still have a few plans for new modes although no promises on when the next modes will come. Our New Studio:Cory (Thornity) and I (Aarimous) had such a great time co-creating A Game About Feeding A Black Hole that we decided to create our own studio Aarimout and Thornity. We are going to continue making games together and have expanded our efforts to partner with fellow indie developers to co-create their games. We think of it like a blender between developing and publishing their games. Our Next Games:Orb BreakerOur next game entirely developed by Cory (Thornity) and myself (Aarimous). Wishlist: Demo:Mining and DwarvesCo-developed with Sockhouse Studios the dev behind Click and Conquer. Wishlist: Demo: Just Keep FishingCo-developed with Set Sail Games the dev behind Bridges and Docks and better known on YouTube as Thomas Stewart.Wishlist: Demo: New Orb Breaker Mode:To celebrate our new game Orb Breaker we added in a silly new game mode called Orb Breaker. You'll break asteroids and spawn tons of orbs that will bounce around breaking asteroids for you. The mode takes about 10-15 min and you'll spawn so many orbs that you'll start to lag and I am ok with that because I love seeing all the chaos!Patch 1.7 Notes:Added a new game mode “Orb Breaker”A silly mode to celebrate our new game Orb Breaker.Added a new mechanic called OrbsAdded 7 new upgrades and iconsAdded in a setting for Scientific Notation (you're welcome esotericist)Removed the pop in animation from upgrade screen since it felt odd once you got to end of the tree
Small update to add links to our next games. If you enjoyed A Game About Feeding A Black Hole, these should be right up your alley! Our Next Games: Mining and DwarvesJust Keep FishingOrb BreakerAnd yes.. we are crazy enough to try and make 3 games at once! How.. you ask? Well we’ve partnered with 2 other solo indie devs to co-develop Mining and Dwarves and Just Keep Fishing. Whereas Orb Break is entirely Cory and myself. More to come on all these games shortly. Cheers, Aarimous
