I just spent the last hour feeding a black hole instead of doing what I was supposed to do – work. And no, this is not code for anything. I literally fed the black hole in Next Steam Festival demo version of the game called “Black Hole Feeding Game” and I recommend you too join me and feed this black hole.
The demo and, I suspect, the full game are quite minimalist and simple. There is a black hole in the center of your screen, a bunch of asteroids swirling around it, and the cursor deals damage to the indicated asteroids at regular intervals. Every time one of the big space rocks breaks apart, the black hole gets a little bigger and spews out some money, which then ends up in your pocket at the end of the round.
This money can be spent on permanent upgrades, some of which simply improve the radius of your cursor or the damage you deal. Some of them are a little more exciting, like one that adds seconds to the round timer every time our dear black hole levels up, or another that adds electric asteroids that damage nearby ones when destroyed.
The result will be absolutely more enjoyable as you quickly become a machine that essentially clears the orbit of this light-sucking phenomenon of any debris in pursuit of more and more money. It's easy fun since there's no way to “lose” a round – you're just chasing more money for more upgrades – but it's a good way to relax either way.
The seagull game comes to Steam November 10 with new improvements, stars and planets to destroy, and additional modes.
