Blackhole hands on demo was available at Indie Arena Booth at GAMESCOM 2015. With several developers and computers on site it was possible to swing by any time and even without an appointment spent a couple of relaxing minutes trying out the game and chatting with developers about upcoming updates.

EASY MODE INCOMING

Based on community feedback & because we want to our game adjust also for casual or „mainstream“ players: the easy-mode is coming. If you experience the problem with finishing the game and you want to complete the story & enjoy the levels in "easier" way. The easy mode enabled could help you do that. In easy mode, when you collect selfburn and run over start portal - your progress is saved. If you die, you will respawn with already collected selfburn. This is so easier way how to solve many puzzles - so please, remember and think twice if you set your profile to easy mode - because there is no way how to set the easy mode off on that profile again. Be aware that enabling easy mode you will turn-off most of the achievements based on „hardcore“ gameplay and timing. Once you set easy mode on, it can’t be turned off on that game profile. Also with easy mode enabled you can't send time record or coffee-time for the levels to online leaderboards.

LESS DIALOGUES MODE

This mode (unlike the Easy mode) could be turned on and off anywhere & anytime in whole game. When you set the game into "less dialogues" mode; we will cut-off most unnecessary dialogues, so you will experience less story events (like by 60% less). This option is here for all who wants play only & mainly platform experience and story is for them some side-related thing. We are not removing all the story! Story is still presented. We will just cut-off the lines that „extends the basic storyline“. So even with Less Dialogues on, you will have to repair the ship, hear all blackboxes & save everyone from the crew.

FREE DEMO WILL BE AVAILABLE

We will also release the DEMO of the game in a few days for free on STEAM, to give a taste to everyone who wants the game just try & maybe we will convince some new players to join our Endera crew! :) Our DEMO contains 5 levels, player will learn how gravity platforms works, then go to the jungle, experience puzzle in sacred library (city & emp glove), learn how to wall-jump and try to solve little puzzle in desert at one from „Eternal Thirst“ levels.

THIS BIG GAME UPDATE COMING IN A FEW DAYS!

Hope you will like how we expanding the game in order to get it more attractive for other players than just hardcore base. Thank you! ♥ - Devs from FiolaSoft Studio PS: Keep calm and make Cpt. Jetsen coffee! ːenderacoffeeː
