Black Hole of Stupidity
Black Hole of Stupidity
Rockey the Space Raccoon is captain of the Junkpile, a salvage vessel. During one of his escapades, he finds himself trapped by the monstrous gravity of a black hole.
To survive, he must blast the incoming asteroids and vaporize any debris before they reach the horizon—lest they feed the black hole and threaten his escape.
Nevertheless, some asteroids are too big for Junkpile's regular cannons and thus require the full power of the Mega-Laser! Its controls are encrypted and only accessible through solving math problems. The closer you get the more the black hole sucks your stupidity away.
Luckily, when the equation is solved correctly and these Matheroids are destroyed, they release scrap and fuel tanks. These will prove a valuable resource for Rockey's survival!
May the Math Gods be with you!

it's a cool concept. I like the theme and the color.
here are a few idea that might help make it better :
1) remove the dual health / battery bar and replace it with only one that represent how close I am to die or to succeed.
2) allow me to actually win the game by escaping the black hole if i have a big enough strike ?
3) instead of difficulty that change the speed of the game, allow me to do more than addition with a set of check box that enable or disable each operation from appearing. and make the game run faster and faster as i get closer to escaping the black hole
4) when I break an asteroid and get the bonus, either they magnet to me or its actually possible to catch them all because it feel like the missed bonus feed the black hole and actually make me loose.
5) lower the horizon of event because I have barelly the time to see the number AND FIND THE FCKNG button that i need to press that they hit the line
6) allow to play with tactile screen instead of keyboard
7) when i press the jkl key it highlight what answer i'm selecting and ONLY validate the answer on key release instead of press
Thank you for the feedback! We have a VERY long to-do list and many of the things you mentioned are already planned. The next update will remove the fuel gauge from easy and normal modes. There will also be an item magnet.
Thanks for the feedback! The game has just had big updates from our programmer, if you are interested, feel free to play it again.
