Black Hole Fishing

Something oddly satisfying about catching fishies with a black hole. The jokes and puns are fun too.

This is slop, hoping to make a quick buck from their previous achievements before you can refund this game. This should've been a free to play game on something like Kongregate. This game is awfully presented, so many mechanics just feel bad, and the progression sucks. It's hard to say anything good about this game, but it doesn't seem to have bugs which at least is the silver lining here. You throw pebbles to scare them into a black hole, that's the game play loop. Then you add cumbersome to grindy mechanics to make better fish, to then throw pebbles at to scare them into the hole. Good: - The aesthetics of the game are simple and charming. Cute little wiggly fish with colours and fun designs. - The... (I guess you would call it) "Lore?" of the game is extremely unserious and mildly interesting, but it's extremely shallow. Half of it is randomly hidden behind hovers you never wouldn't considered to look into. Although parts of the lore hovers are just: "There should've been something here but I got lazy." Bad: - The User Interface (UI) is REALLY! bad. At least 40% of the game is you fighting with bad UI. You have to click on so many things to do 1 meaningless task, then repeat that multiple times. You also have to be TOO precise with your actions or you'll completely ruin some progress. - The rebirth/reset/ascend (Whatever you want to call it) system is poorly calculated, resulting in a VERY! steep system where you need to reset every ~2-5 minutes for ~3 rebirth points. And you need... LOTS... - Eventually you get to a point where the game grinds to a halt and now you need to do RNG breeding. Make good fish become better, but it takes HOURS of waiting. - Don't know where to make progress? Neither does anybody else! Here's a catalogue of like ~33 items. Figure it out where the progress is. - Also you won't know what you're doing through any of this. You'll just have to figure it out because the game quite literally explains nothing, does not provide hints, tips, nor tutorials. I continued playing for about 2 hours after I unlocked fish breeding, did random stuff on the side, and then I just gave up with this game.

还好是鱼不然我总感觉我强迫症发作，扔石子的时候特别像在浴室里扫地，不是扫过了就是扫歪了，永远也没法精准地扫进那个洞口。 有意思，相当有新意的增量。可以定制鱼，玩家有很多事情做。而且玩家是外星人，欧耶！我就喜欢这种带点黑色幽默抽象电波伪人人外之类的东西的游戏。不过中后期有点无聊。

很不错的游戏，流程对我来说稍短一些，中午买了当天晚上就通关了，本来以为凑齐999就能解锁新玩法呢，可惜只冒出来感谢游玩，总而言之很推荐这款游戏。

very fun little incremental game! finished it in 13.5 hours, but had I changed my playstyle I probably coulda done it in 10 or so.

game was pretty good! will note though that the bonuses listed in the fish part dictionary or whatever it is called, dont seem to be accurate. when i try applying patterns to fish, they act differently based on the fish i think? (or im just misremembering) a good example though of it not working in general is that deep blue is listed as a lot lower value than it should be. some critiques i have about the game is that i spent probably half of or at least 1/4 the time playing this game, prestiging in rapid succession in order to get upgrades faster(prestiging in rapid succession is enabled by the perk that lets you start with the pool unlocked) though, i do like how the rapid progression of it effectively compensates for the lack of required player interaction in the form of tossing rocks also another critique is that for some reason when breeding fish.. i would sometimes get fish with 1 extra trait... and if i bred that with another fish it gave me an extra extra trait.. and now i have 6, and then eventually.. 8. i dont know if this is intended, but it made it so that i could just breed 2 fish together and have the only fish i would ever need for the rest of the playthrough.. also i would have preffered if the fish in the $990B were actually worth more? maybe its because i had an extremely overpowered highly genetically modified fish, but the only fish i ended up ever needing specifically, was the sturgeon which you can get in the 3rd expansion area. it was the best blend of money and mass that i could find. the only fish that seemed to be better at being good at both, was the turtle looking thing you get from using the waste in the final area. i would also have liked to see more of the fisherman character during the rapid prestige phase, and i also think the market madness things are a little bit unbalanced if you have a fish with something like 8 perks on.. because it drastically increased my profit. also... i dont like how i never really got to the 1b required mass black hole and i kinda just.. shot past it in the last 30 minutes of gameplay... Also I would have liked to see more sound effects :)
