Blacky Hole - Initial Release


After months of testing and tweaking, I finally can finally present to everyone, Blacky Hole!  It's a side-scroller action game where you play as a planet constantly trying to outrun the approaching Black Hole whilst avoiding many obstacles being devoured by accretion.  Find the tutorial in the main menu to get familiar with what objects you must avoid and which ones to collect.  Next choose from either of two play modes, Story Mode or Infinite Mode.

In Story Mode you will experience the adventure of your planet from the Black Hole's arrival to... well I wont spoil the end for you.  Play through and unlock 16 levels of increasing difficulty.  Gain XP and player levels to unlock new planets to play as.  Collect the blue nebula orbs to build up you ability to become invincible and destroy obstacles, red fire orbs to explode all obstacles in view instantly (except hydrogen clouds), electric orbs to build shock ability which may be used by activating the shock button or right clicking the mouse once full, and red comets for an extra life.

In Infinite Mode you can choose from three play modes, Classic, Progressive Difficulty and a final mode which will be unlocked upon completing Story Mode.  Classic is great for getting the feel for timing taps/clicks and casual play.  No power-ups or collectables are available in this mode, only you planet and obstacles.  Infinite Progressive Difficulty is exactly as it's name states, however, you will gain an extra life every 25 points earned.

I'm open to suggestions on any ideas you may have to improve or add to the game.  This started as just a project to learn how to build a game in Unity, but consumed me to the point of making addition after addition until I felt I had and actual full game in my hands.  I made it originally for mobile (Android specifically), but found it works very well on PC as well.  If you are interested in the mobile version it is on the Google Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.AlaskaTopshelfEntertainment.Bl... (Be aware that the current version as of 8/9/2022 is showing 1.1.0, but the newest 1.2.1 is in the "review" process by Google and should be available in a day or two as an automatic update to the app.)

Thank you all and please enjoy the game as much as I enjoyed making it!
