For a 2D platform game, this level of storytelling is very rare and makes a refreshing change.
Humorous, varied, fun and simple. Maybe it gets too repetitive over time, but that's not a major fault for this old school platformer.
With excellent gameplay, well-tuned controls and puzzles, and intriguing story, Blackhole also looks stunning.Every act introduces a new theme from a barren cave to a lush jungle and nothing is visually dull. The backgrounds are laid out cleverly to help you stay orientated while the levels rotate and your objectives nicely pop out.

An almost perfect puzzle platformer with a lot going on and a lot of post game content. Honestly, it is hard to recommend this game to people who are fans of slow paced platformers, because Blackhole relies on precision and speed, especially if you're going for coffee times. The idea is great and the level select worlds are fun to explore. Blackhole uses both levels and "open world" exploration, which is really nice! Just admit it, you don't see a game where you interact with a level select hub further than choosing a level nowadays. With over 70 levels, the game is going to keep you busy for many hours of platforming fun, and if you are going for the shiny 100%, you have a lot to do. The only reason this game does not get 10/10, but gets a 9/10 is because of dog tags. Those are optional collectibles, but necessary for 100% completion. They are always clearly visible, but require a lot of trial and error path finding. Any collectibles that will force you to look them up on YouTube are bad collectibles. I understand that they were made to make the player think about how to reach them, as it is a hardcore puzzle game, but they are still not good collectibles.

Téměř odpad + skvělý vývojářský tým, super parta, až na Fiolu + CZ dabing - zábavnost - chytlavost - kvalita - nápad - cena 1/10 za dabing.

Packed full of challenges in an endearing package, Blackhole is an excellent 2D platform adventure which succeeds in nearly every aspect of its design. It's polished, visually attractive, and doesn't skimp on variety or difficulty.

Blackhole is 2D animated plaformer with some action, logic and lot's of humor. There's really awesome dubbing and hardcore game design. The game is as hard as Dark Souls, so if you are a bit hothead you should be careful because your mouse, controller, keyboard, doors, desk, monitor or friends may not make it. There is also Auriel, which is someone like Cortana and trust me, you will want to kill her, but after all you will love her.

Witty, but quite unoriginal puzzle platformer, that will finally find its audience, but the masses won't be thrilled. [Issue#251]

Czech Blackhole seamlessly withstands in global platformer competition. The concept is, however, closer to games in which rather depend on the accuracy and nerves than on sophisticated solution or other logic puzzles. Blackhole is inappropriate for choleric, but it is the obligation for fans of hardcore difficulty.

Hey guys did you ever wanted to be in black hole? You've got your chance now. This game will takes your mind and **** with it. That still isn't enough. You're going to cry, rage or throw things out of your windows. Now about the game. This game is from small country named Czech Republic. It's hardcore plat-former. Once when you'll end this game you'll be free forever. Like really. Harder games than Blackhole are maybe only games from Dark Souls series. Good luck, you'll need it.

I really enjoy arcade puzzle platformers such as Toki Tori so I should really like Blackhole. But I don't, I really dislike it. Controls are fiddly. The game is to reliant on precise jumps. The controls aren't very good. I don't mind sometimes having to restart a level I know how to solve because I missed a jump but this happens far to often in this game.
