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.

Fiola: I am glad we have a chance to even be here. Really, thanks for the information, but I think I am okay with my undercover "text" here now. We are all anxious in the studio awaiting community comments to our beloved project. I still have a chance leave this planet if everything goes wrong! :D
D'oh, I got this on the Humble Store and realised that the complete edition is Steam only (DRM-free files are just the regular version). Is it possible to unlock the game here if I send the receipt?

omega64: It has an easy mode that's way less frustrating.

Falkenherz: Wow. It seem it does indeed have an Easy Mode. Why didn't they mention it in the announcement or on the game card? Might get them more sales. I almost dismissed the game until I read your post, now I am acutally considering to buy it, especially at that discount.
Might be because it was a later addition to the game? :P
But yeah, they should've mentioned it.

Couldn't really resist that launch price, although it'll have to join the queue of games stretching off into the distance. *sigh*

gixgox: Welcome to the devs :)

Could we please get the demo here too?
There is one on that other platform.

I'm very tempted to get the game, though I'm sure, that it is far too hardcore for me.
But at this price..... I could give it a try.
Oh, I love artbooks and the other extras. Tempting....tempting....
Hi gixgox, I am sorry, I will ask our publisher if we can do something about that. The point is, that DEMO on the "other", ehm, platform, is a little bit outdated. I am not sure that we can deliver a proper DEMO here on GOG.COM in time (while this promotion is running), but if you contact as via our website, I am sure we can send you link to DEMO which we can maybe export for you. But I still have to check in our studio if that is going to be possible in the next days.

I guess you want to test it out on Windows, right? A demo for Windows should not be a big problem.

Is this a hard game, I mean do you need to have good reflexes?
Posted November 17, 2016
This game looks good, it has a Linux version and it offers many extras at a good price.

I'm thinking of buying it, but I'd like to check some gameplay videos on youtube first.

EDIT: I just bought the complete edition!

YES! This has been on my radar for a while now. I've heard good things. I'm glad it's finally here.

Fiola: Actually all music we are using for trailers coming from the game.
Thanks. I like good gaming music so I bought the complete edition. For that price it was a no-brainer anyway... :)

I bought it too and I just launched it on Mint 18 64-bit.
Graphics and sound are beautiful. I haven't played enough to make comments about the gameplay though.

Just in case 64-bit Linux users have library conflict issues between the required 32-bit versions and the 64-bit ones, which are installed system wide (I had such a problem with libcurl3 and its dependencies), the 32-bit libraries can be added locally to the application. I can explain how, if there is need for that.

Thank you very much, very kind of you.
But I decided to get the complete edition - the extras alone are worth the price.
And it can't be wrong to give my lazy reflexes some exercise.

Since it's neither "procedurally-generated" nor "ridiculously addictive", I won't buy it. Just being "story-driven" is not enough ;-)
Posted November 18, 2016
I bought it some while ago on Humble. It's a really good game; platforming with physics-based puzzles.
It's also a very lengthy game, if you aim to fully complete each puzzle room. Even if you don't 100% each room you get at least 10 hours out of the game, that's a great deal for the current sale price.

It's got great voice-acting and clever writing. There are several difficulty levels to choose from, and you don't have to 100% each room in order to make progress in the game and storyline. Although you might get a different ending.

It's one of those unique quirky games that went unnoticed for some reason or other ... probably because our gaming media doesn't like this particular publisher, is my guess.

I see the original edition and upgrade to complete, but no option to buy just the complete edition? Isn't this somewhat unusual?
