Skip it if you…

- Players seeking a multiplayer co-op action game may not find the described modes suited to that preference.
Our take on Black Hole Hazard
The recoil-based movement gives navigation a central puzzle role, but it also makes movement dependent on aiming and firing the gun rather than using conventional locomotion controls.
What is Black Hole Hazard?
Play as Dr.
Albert Armstrong, a researcher left floating in cosmic space after an experiment involving an artificial black hole goes wrong. Fire a jet gun toward a point to propel Albert in the opposite direction, using recoil and the physical properties of blocks to move through levels and fight enemies. Story Mode spans 7 chapters and 150 levels, with boss battles, cutscenes, and two endings. Search for 68 log file fragments that reveal story clues and 26 batteries used to upgrade the gun. Each stage also has a Time Attack challenge. Survival Mode uses random maps, items, and enemies, with a Steam leaderboard for high-score competition.
