A Big Catch Awaits in Black Hole Fishing
Playsaurus has partnered with SDG Games to bring the wonderfully strange incremental title Black Hole Fishing to a wider audience on Steam. Playsaurus, best known for genre-defining idle hits like Clicker Heroes and Mr. Mine, will publish the game, helping introduce its offbeat fishing experiment to fans of quirky, numbers-driven experiences.
Alongside the announcement, SDG Games and Playsaurus released a new trailer that leans fully into the game’s escalating absurdity. In Black Hole Fishing, players do not fish with rods or nets. Instead, they deploy a literal black hole to vacuum fish straight out of a pond. Then they can expand their operation into increasingly bizarre territory. What begins as simple harvesting quickly evolves into a chaotic blend of automation, experimentation, and questionable science.
Black Hole Fishing is an incremental game about catching outrageous quantities of fish and optimizing every part of the process. Players scare fish into the black hole by throwing rocks, stock and restock ponds automatically, and upgrade nearly every system involved. Fishing eventually expands beyond the pond, allowing players to hunt fish in the wild. They can even compare catches to keep only the most valuable specimens.
The game’s systems encourage constant experimentation. Players research fish traits, paint and inject them to boost profitability, and cross-breed their best catches in a hatchery to discover new genetic combinations. For even stranger results, favorite fish can be fired from a cannon to trigger special bonuses. Advanced players can also unlock a full-scale particle collider dedicated entirely to fish-based science.
With its mix of idle progression, dark humor, and escalating nonsense, Black Hole Fishing aims to deliver a fresh and memorable take on the incremental genre when it arrives on Steam.
