How To Grow a Black Hole

Upgrade interactions are inconsitent and sloppy. After the last patch, the discounts you get for upgrading different black hole upgrades stopped working and still hasn't been fixed. My last run I was 28 light years in diameter and sitting at around 50-200% disc pressure, when I decided to remove a few levels out of compression to be safe before upgrading feed levels. Even though my limit before forced collapse was close to 500% disk pressure, immediately after removing a few levels (which should decrease pressure) my pressure jumped up to over 500% and the blackhole collapsed, ruining my run. Don't waste your money on this trash.

boring

I am not sure it is worth four bucks. The game lacks explanation of zillion parameters that you upgrade; you get that they are somewhat different, but eventually just raise them all evenly and keep the feeding sources moderately upgraded to provide the "below threshold" level. I still scientifically do not get why the black hole collapses; but hell with that, just do not overfeed it :). Once you get this trick, the game just plays itself. This is a very raw skeleton of a potentially interesting game.

I want to start by saying that this game is great, I have got a lot of hours in it, I believe the contents are unique, enjoyable, and are fun to play around with. They may not be strictly "accurate" to black holes but that's not an issue lmao. It adds a form of balance which is fun to have in an idle game. I do not believe that the game was made using any form of gen ai, or using ai assisted coding. I basically read through the entirety of the discord server's messages to figure out what people were saying in a place where it would be less likely to be seen. The dev has used gen ai in the past for various things, as I'm sure a lot of people have, and ai assisted coding isn't necessarily a bad thing either way. It sucks to see so many allegations with separated evidence from the actual point at hand. If this game was coded with the assistance of ai, I think it should be disclosed. I do not believe it actually was though. I'm not against the idea of buying a game that was ai assisted, as long as I know that fact before purchasing. image/video models should not be used in creative spaces, and the dev has said this as well, but there is no proof that any of that was used here other than "gen ai has been used by the devs in the past". The fact that their portfolio was done using ai feels like it's a cheap way to try and sell yourself in a creative space. A portfolio should be hand made, cause these things take effort. Anyone trying to convince you not to get this game cause "it's ai" is being way too simple about it all. Make your own decisions. It's a good game by a solo dev, that's about it.

After 50 hours, this game has been so much fun. It is unique to other idle games in the way it requires strategy. If you want your black hole to grow while idle, you better make sure there's no way your feeds will make it collapse. This gives you options: do you want to farm collapses to permanently strengthen your stats? You can set that up by turning on auto-buy and auto-collapse. Do you want to really grow and move up the leaderboard? There will be trial and error, but you'll figure it out. Overall, the game is a 10/10. Visuals are great and props to the developer for being so active with the community through the discord. I'm glad knowing the dev is keeping up with the feedback and working on making the game even better. How to Grow a Black Hole has been a breath of fresh air for me; I normally play competitive fps, but it's nice to have a game I can play that's not so stressful for once! Thanks Noah, great job and keep it up!

This game is essentially no more complex than a JPG image of a black hole With some particle effects Floating around. The skill tree for progression between runs Is incredibly small at the moment. For some reason when you zoom out. It tanks the frame rate Not sure what that's about. The black hole isn't terribly dynamic or anything It only has a few states. Small, medium and large and it really doesn't do anything more after that. There's an accretion disk that glows when you put more matter into it, but it's really Simplistic. There really isn't much of a gameplay loop here. The only thing really to work towards is potentially a leaderboard. However, the majority of the top scorers are hacked, so I don't know if that's gonna be worth it to you. People have runs With more hours than the game's even been out for With thousands of hours. The dev seems to occasionally remove them, but I don't know If there's gonna be a permanent solution to that. Also, yes, Like others have been saying. The game does appear to be mostly Coded with AI and it really shows.

interesting idea, poor execution

muito ruim, olha que me esforcei pra gostar, e gosto de jogos assim.

my big black hole is massive and it sucks everything in
