    Black Hole is absolutely fun. The concept is simple, and the upgrade system is nice, but the core shooting really drives the title. The difficulty level is balanced enough to make you feel like you're making progress, but it isn't so generous that you can easily beat the game in one sitting. It may not be on many people's lists for best shoot-'em-up on the Switch, but it certainly belongs in a tier close to that level.

    Black Hole does, honestly, some tricks that nobody else does. The fixed screen with the gravitational pull is an unique concept that keeps you sharp. The act of playing the game is awesome, and nothing should be taken away from it. After 40 levels though, there is nothing for most players to return to. Sure, there is room to improve on your runs, but that really depends on the type of person you are. As for myself, I’ll probably end up going back to it now and again.

    Black Hole’s intense shmup action feels far more suited to Nintendo Switch than its previous platforms, and the gravitational mechanic makes for a cool twist on a well-worn formula. It’s a solid little shooter for one player to blast through with twin-sticks at the ready, it’s just a shame there’s no support for local couchplay to go along with its litany of customisable options.

    Black Hole is a dull title that lacks any lasting appeal. It works and runs well but bad design decisions just leave the core gameplay loop far from ideal.

The wave based game play has high replay valueBlack Hole has solid controls, large enemy variety, and offers a rewarding, fair, challenge. The wave based game play has high replay value for those who strive to achieve the highest score possible. I highly recommend this to anybody who likes twin stick shooters. Just remember two things; do not hit "B" while the game is paused and put the Switch into airplane mode BEFORE you launch the game IF you don't intend to use internet. An annoying bug can occur but it's avoidable and worth the minor hassle for the amazing game play.… Full Review »

    It's a very nice shmup title for the Nintendo Switch, but only for one player.
    Afte you finish a level you can leave the game and continue it later.
