Black Hole

How big can your black hole get before the timer runs out? Swallow everything in sight and watch your gravity go berserk.

I didn't expect much from a game called Black Hole, but twenty minutes later I was still chasing that one last fire hydrant. You start as a tiny speck in a cityscape — a pothole with ambition, really. You roll around with your mouse and anything smaller than you gets ripped off the ground and sucked inside. Benches, lampposts, pedestrians, entire food carts. The crunch of that first car? Pure satisfaction. The trick is momentum. The bigger you get, the more stuff flies into you, but you also become a bigger target for other holes. Yes, there are other holes and they want to eat you. It turns into a weird reverse-pacifist battle royale where the only win condition is being the hungriest void on the block. I learned the hard way that hovering near the edge of a bigger hole is like waving a steak in front of a lion — don't do it. What keeps me coming back is the pacing. Every round lasts maybe ninety seconds, just enough to feel like you've accomplished something without a big time sink. And there's always that one moment when a skyscraper finally topples into your event horizon and the screen shakes. Yeah, it's simple. Yeah, it's hypercasual. But sometimes you just want to be an unstoppable cosmic vacuum cleaner for a few minutes, and Black Hole delivers exactly that.

Prioritize clusters of small objects early on — they bump your size faster than chasing one big item. Keep moving in wide arcs instead of straight lines; it catches objects on your rim and avoids ambushes. Never idle near larger holes unless you want a quick trip to the respawn screen. Use the edges of your hole to drag in items slightly outside your radius — that extra inch matters. Late game, focus on vehicles and buildings; they give the biggest size boost per second. If a bigger hole locks onto you, circle around a cluster of objects to block its path and slip away.
