The Loneliest Black Hole

You are a small black hole, alone in space. Drift close to real things, the ISS, the Moon, Earth, the Sun, and watch them stretch, spiral in and vanish. Then grow, and keep going until there is nothing left. The Loneliest Black Hole is a calm, relaxing space game you steer with one finger. No timers, no lives, no ads. HOW IT PLAYS • Drift with one finger. Anything smaller than you that comes close is caught and spirals into the hole. • Anything up to three times your size is too big to swallow. Circle it and its tides pull it apart into a ring. • Don't eat too fast. Every swallow heats the disk, and if it overheats it flares and throws everything away. Let it cool. • Don't go hungry either. Wait too long between meals and you start to fade. A UNIVERSE OF REAL THINGS Seven tiers, from spacecraft to galaxies: the ISS, Hubble and Voyager 1; Phobos, Europa and the Moon; Mars, Earth, Saturn and Jupiter; the Sun, Sirius and Betelgeuse; the Pillars of Creation and the Crab Nebula; the Whirlpool Galaxy, the Milky Way and Andromeda. Every one gets a dry one-line caption as it goes. You are not the only one. Other black holes are out there, Cygnus X-1, Gaia BH1 and Sagittarius A*, and they eat what you miss. Get big enough and merge with them. COLLECT THE UNIVERSE Everything you swallow goes into your catalog: 52 real objects, each with a true fact. Some only turn up in some universes, so a new universe can hold something you have never seen. THE END, AND AFTER When nothing is left, you are alone. The universe gets very old while you slowly evaporate, and you get a cosmic receipt for everything you ate. Then a new universe begins. • A calm black hole game for a quiet few minutes, or a whole universe over a few sittings. • Works offline. Your progress stays on your phone. • Made with generated music that plays along as you eat. Free to play. No ads and no in-app purchases.

The first universe is open. Drift, swallow the ISS, the Moon, Earth, the Sun and whole galaxies, and fill your catalog with 52 real objects.
