About A Game About Feeding A Black Hole
A Game About Feeding A Black Hole is a minimalist incremental simulator from Aarimous Studios LLC. Released on December 15, 2025, it lives up to its title by tasking you with expanding a black hole’s mass by consuming asteroids, planets, and stars. Played across PC, Mac, and Linux, the game strips away complexity for a straightforward loop: destroy celestial objects, collect energy, and upgrade your black hole’s abilities. It’s a chill, low-effort experience that leans into the absurdity of cosmic-scale consumption. Ideal for quick sessions or background play, it offers a surprisingly relaxing way to kill time.
Gameplay
The core loop revolves around clicking to destroy objects and managing upgrades that automate the process. Early on, you manually target asteroids with a beam to generate energy. Later, you unlock abilities like supernova bursts to vaporize stars or gravitational pulls to harvest entire systems. Progression feels satisfying but predictable, each upgrade reduces manual input, letting you sit back as the black hole gobbles matter. Controls are simple: mouse clicks for targeting, keyboard toggles for upgrades. The game’s charm lies in its simplicity, though the lack of variety or challenges might wear thin after 5-8 hours.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate it 4.5/5, with 72% completing the game. Average playtime is 8.2 hours, and 83% of players report it as “relaxing” or “satisfying.” Critics praise its “oddly calming” design but note the repetitive nature. One review: “Great for when you want to feel like you’re doing something cosmic without effort.” Achievement completion sits at 70% (25 total), with 85% earned in the first 4 hours. The game’s 18% “addictive” sentiment clashes with 15% calling it “too slow.”
PlayPile's Take
This is a niche pick for fans of idle games or cosmic-themed minimalism. At $9.99, it’s a cheap diversion with a 70% achievement rate but no lasting replay value. The incremental mechanics work well for short bursts but won’t hold attention past a dozen hours. If you want something to run in the background while doing chores, it’s solid. If you crave depth or challenge, look elsewhere.
