Game doesn't let you quit by hitting Alt+F4 or mashing escape. Instead you have to navigate through up to 3 levels of menu selecting the quit option every time. Why am I bringing up such a trivial detail? Because in a game that makes you ragequit as often as BLACKHOLE does, having to struggle with the stupid menu every time turns a bad experience into one that makes you want to throw your controller through the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ screen.

BLACKHOLE has great production value, a good story, decent gameplay mechanics, nice aesthetics and music, etc. but unfortunately I can't see any of that because I'm stuck on level 12, the lava keeps killing me and every time I wanna retry it I have to sit through a bunch of annoying cutscenes.

No matter how good this game otherwise is, I cannot endorse it because of how angry it makes me.

Hi BinarySplit ... we are sorry for having such bad experience with our game. You know, that you don't have to collect all selburns right away, right? Just let it go, and go on adventure. And be back later to that level - you will see how easy is after some time.

Mainly the GAME isn't that thing what makes you angry... but that's not up to me to decide.

We will deliver ALT+F4 for you in the next version of the game. It's something, what we can easily do for your comfort.

Also, try the Easy Mode. Then you can collect selfburns a save them if you run over the start portal. That makes really easier way how to beat the game. And later, you can start new game on this hardcore option :).

Either way, thank you for your review.
