Really cool, but just sooo unbalanced, you should do something with that in post-jam version

Interesting idea, also I have to say that enemies that spawns black hole after death reminded our game :D I liked it a lot my suggestion is to add sound effects, and balancing speeds, because some enemies was very fast and it was too hard to shoot them, also I think game becomes really chaotic, and because of fast bullets its nearly impossible too dodge them, but i enjoyed and it has potential!

Survive the blackholesThe basic Idea is good, Needs a bit of improvement in some sections but has potential! All the best, Keep working, all the best and do try out our game, feedback is always a BIG YES

Antithesis VergeVery cool concept and game!
But some sound effects would have been really good and maybe some score System to motivate the player more.

All Shall FallI really like the concept and the style you go with. It's hard but I feel like it's not impossible and that's good! Love it <3

DistantHoleVery cool concept but after 1-2 minutes it becomes uniform! needs more NPCs and probs.

Sweet Dreams!True chaos, and I loved having multiple lives so I could mindlessly shoot things. For something so high energy though missing audio really makes me sad. If you end up adding it in let me know!

Pothole RunnerGreat take on the hole idea. There were a couple times I felt like I didn’t have much of a chance to avoid getting hit, but that didn’t happen a lot. I think it mostly happened when the ships got really close to mine. Besides that, I had a lot of fun and really loved the gameboy aesthetic.
Thanks for submitting! Please check out my game if you haven’t yet. https://ntwiles.itch.io/black-hole-flyer

VOIDRUNThere is definitely a lot happening at once, A very hectic game, but fun none the less.

Agent of H.O.L.E.S20 lives definitely seemed like a lot but I figured out very quickly why there were so many! Cool idea that hitting one enemy can spawn such a huge chain reaction, took me a second to figure out and I kept making it worse lol. Love the retro aesthetic, really nice job!

Doug's Auto RepairThis is cool. It's really manic, yet simple I like your (4-bit? 2-bit?) graphics. Obviously the major flaw is just how much chaos ensues, but I also think that's the charm. Perhaps if you gave the player more freedom of movement Robotron-style, and slowed down the enemy bullet speed, then the chaos would be more fun than it already is. Also, definitely needs audio. I liked this though, very creative!

Mine DiggerThe game looks really clean! The pixel art really brings out more from this game! Still I believe audio would have enhanced the experience! Well done with the game though

Treasure in a holeAt first I was thinking why did you give that many lives, I mean why would I need that many lives....... but when I started playing I thought why did you give so few😂😅. The art and the game view is clean and simple. Your skills are really showing up in this game as you made a fun game without fancy particle effects and visual effects. In other words it is a very fun game and I spent a good amount of time playing it. Well done.

Shovel WizardLove this idea. Wish the difficulty didn't ramp up right so much at front.

Hole N' FunPros:
- Fun bullet hell kind of game
- Fun to shoot multiple vortexes
- Nice Nokia phone game aesthetic
Cons:
- Bit too difficult: My suggestions to remedy this is by making it so you have invulnerability when you respaw for about 3 seconds
- Sound: I don't think there was any, would have loved the classic nokia sounds while I played this
Overall: Not too bad for a game jam, one of the games that I recommend others to try this jam :)
