Our take on BLACKHOLE
Instead of treating platforming as movement across fixed surfaces, BLACKHOLE makes altered gravity central to both navigation and puzzle solving. Its structure also combines demanding level challenges with a voiced science-fiction comedy and a large set of secrets.
What is BLACKHOLE?
BLACKHOLE is a hardcore platformer set after the Endera spaceship is pulled into a black hole and crashes on an unidentified planet-like object.
Playing as the crew’s coffee maker, the player works with Auriel, a sarcastic ship computer, to repair the vessel, rescue the crew, and close the black hole. The game combines gravity-defying puzzles with deadly traps across caves, lost cities, mountains, and forests. Its story is fully voiced and presented as science-fiction comedy. The Complete Edition includes more than 130 levels, three DLC pieces, bonus materials, a digital artbook, a soundtrack with over 40 tracks, developer diaries, a playable prototype, artwork, wallpapers, and collector cards.
