Black Hole: Farmageddon

There is as much AI slop in the reviews as there is in this game. It feels vibe-coded with no disclosure whatsoever, often hangs on a black screen forcing you to reset and lose progress.

I love shortcrementals but this just feels like a low effort trend-chasing cash grab and seeing it bundled with A Game About feeding a Black Hole is a disservice to the latter in all honesty, which I thoroughly enjoyed both in gameplay and challenge.

There's a minimal amount on gameplay as some upgrades quickly spiral out of control and the challenge fades and it just feels like it's dragging on and on rather than offering meaningful progression.

Just avoid, there's way betters out there.

Sick of copy-pasted and AI slop reviews? Me too. Check my other reviews here. Long live independent games.

Idle & Incremental Lovers recommends Black Hole: Farmageddon :
As crazy as the Sharknado film series. Don't expect something deep, rather pure short chaotic fun being a chicken/cow/pig-blackhole magnet. Challenge mode adds a nice roguelike with perks touch!
+ Progression is fast-paced, making you feel the power creep.
+ Crazy premise, crazy gameplay, 100% not serious.
+/- Short, but doesn't overstay its welcome.
- Visuals are a bit janky in the later levels.
- Maybe priced too high for its playtime? Wait for a sale!
Why should you play this black hole game? Because it's so attractive! XD

I had an incredible amount of fun with this game, which seems like a confusing way to start a review where I Do Not Recommend it. I think this is one where I'd want a Neutral vote, and I rarely think that's a good idea.

The Good
-All Thriller, No Filler -- the game hits the ground running, picks up speed quick, and gives you that dopamine chase right from the get go. Sucking up animals feels good. Numbers go up!

-Meaningful Upgrades, Great Progression -- Every run you're going to be buying at least a couple upgrades. They remain juicy and satisfying, keeping that dopamine loop going for the bulk of the Campaign.

-Points For Style -- The game is just novel and fun. A great spin on the sweep your mouse around and pop/eat/mine incremental genre. Visuals feel good, physics are decent, atmosphere on point, just enough story/setup to buttress the gameplay.

The Bad
-Suuuuper Short -- I have a total of 1hr of play time and I've completed the Campaign and seen enough of the Idle Mode to say No Thanks. That's really really short, especially considering the price point. Bringing me to...

-Expensive For It's Cost -- I paid $6.49 CAD for this. Was it a blast?? Sure. But I've played plenty of equally enjoyable or almost as enjoyable games that were 3 or 4 times longer anywhere from maybe $3.49 CAD to the same $6.49. There just isn't enough game for the price. Might need better pacing -- this was all gas and no brakes, which is fun, but, you know, 1hr isn't a ton of time. Which brings me to...

-The Final Few Upgrades -- The last couple upgrades feel unnecessary and superfluous. And slow. This makes them feel like padding, which they kind of are. An easy 10min out of my 1hr was just a formality. Like many Idle Games, they're priced so you have to run the last level maybe 3 to 5 times to get them each for the last two. You can tell they're the last ones, and the very last one is just... completely pointless. It didn't seem to make any material upgrade.

-The Last Level is... A Lot -- This is a quibble, the final stage is visually super cool for the first 10 seconds, but then it's just a lot to look at with some of your non-optional upgrade effects making bright flashy lights and you have to run the level way longer than is fun just to round out the campaign, and again, it just feels like a chore.

-Too Much Speed Upgrade -- You get to a point maybe half-way/three-quarters in where you have too much speed upgrade and most of the game is more about not overshooting where you wanna go because the massive speed boost makes the mouse sensitivity too much. The cursor has a natural drift so if you let go of your mouse your black hole will slowly drift towards one side, so you can't even just park it and idle farm those last few runs, really. A minor quibble, but still was noticeable and kind of annoying.


In Summary

It's a fun game but it's shorrrrt. What's there is a ton of fun until the last 10min (which is like a solid 20% of the game though) but the hour flies by. If you've got the spare coin, give it a go, you will enjoy it if you like this type of game, but sadly like two-bite brownie, it'll be over before you know it. If it were a couple dollars cheaper I'd say Recommend, but it's not. Well made, ton of heart, just is what it is.
