Paint it black.

<span class="bold">BLACKHOLE</span>, a story-driven platformer full of black comedy, is available now for Windows, Mac, and Linux, DRM-free on GOG.com, with GOG Galaxy support for achievements and a 70% launch discount.

The coffeeman will be our salvation! And we're not talking about getting us through the weekend's drunker stupor, either. We're talking actual end-of-the-world stuff here. Because the spaceship's coffeeman is the only person left standing after a terrible crash on top of a gaping BLACKHOLE. With the A.I.'s sarcastic guidance, he must go out there and find a way to fix the ship, save his crewmates, and finish the mission. Mind-bending puzzles, gravity-defying platforming, deadly pitfalls, and hilarious situations await inside this mysteriously diverse world that stretches across every which dimension. No time for coffee now, volunteer, we've got a universe to save!

Get consumed by an unpredictable, unforgiving, unwieldy <span class="bold">BLACKHOLE</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com. Want to challenge yourself even further? Gravitate towards the <span class="bold">Complete Edition upgrade</span> to gain access to the 3 pieces of awesome DLC and the catchy soundtrack!
The 70% discount will last until November 24, 1:59 PM UTC.

Heh, quite fitting release for today. :p

Eh, the game was kinda boring. Frustrating when you make a small mistake and need to redo the entire puzzle.
Though I think there was an easy mode that made that issue less frequent.

My wallet just insta-passed through the event horizon. Thanks GOG! :)

Reminds me of Constant C which was pretty good. For this price I will pick it up.

Very glad this game form a Czech developer ended up here.
Czech voice over was done by Czech (and Slovak?) Youtubers.

Instabuy.

Meh.
The price is alright (at the moment), but it doesn't look very interesting.
Reviews on Steam are pretty favorable though.

The music in the game trailer is quite good. So just like with Shovel Knight, I need to ask:

Is the in-game music itself of that high quality, or is that merely the trailer music for advertising the game and the actual game music is something else?

Although this is trailer music, it's from the same guy that made entire soundtrack. If you want to listen to soundtrack, here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppLvdc1CJhI

Why must trailer voices be (of course, in my opinion) this annoying and over-exaggerated?

Anyway, it looks good and the discount is tasty; but as I don't really intend on playing it right away, I think I'll wait—you gotta listen to your backlog, sometimes! :P

Actually all music we are using for trailers coming from the game. So the same music is used in several levels :). You can check our whole soundtrack on Spotify, Google Music and iTunes - or here on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppLvdc1CJhI - and if you get interested enough, we have extended soundtrack available in Complete Edition of the game! :)

Let's see, key words... Hardcore? Check! Unforgiving? Check! Oooh, and a new one: Unwieldy, check!

No interest in this whatsoever.

Is the market for "Rage Quit - The Platformer" really so big that it makes financial sense for GOG to keep pumping them out in a steady stream? Oh well, to each their own I guess.

It has an easy mode that's way less frustrating.

Well, base game contains all 100 main levels and full story. Also end-game content named as "Secret of the Entity" and "Challenge Vault" is included.

For 10+ director's cut levels (meant to be a bonus) you should head to get Complete Edition, where are also other bonuses. Testing Laboratory DLC (which is funny prequel for the story), soundtrack and much more! :)

This joined my backlog because of nice intro discount, Crashlands-like humor in the trailer, and the fact that it's a 2010s platformer that chose not to go retro with the graphics. Hopefully there's an easy mode.
