Attack Hole - Black Hole Games
reviews and complaints

The game is pretty good, very interesting concept, but I’ve started to notice lately that it seems to repeat levels I’ve already completed. Once I get past somewhere around levels 15 or 16 or somewhere in that area I just start at the beginning again. It tells me I’m at level 23 but I’m doing what I did 23 levels ago. I don't know if I just need to keep playing longer to see what happens and if it’s not repeating itself or if it’s a bug or something like that. But I wanna know if I’m right and if other people have experienced this, or I’m wrong and it’s just something I’ll find out, or something else completely.

Disappointing (but not surprising) that the App Store even allows garbage like this. It amazes me how many developers take what could be fun in concept, and ruin it with a 30 second ad after every round. The people who make these games aren’t interested in providing you a fun experience, and the certainly don’t care if you keep the app. They want to shovel as many ads onto your phone in the five minutes between download and delete as they can. It’s all about money.

Don’t fall for the monkey-brain urge to download the app. Leave this stuff alone, and let this genre of mindless, soulless, money grabbing mobile games die. They are just here to prey on children, and bored people like me lol.

The game is fun and whatnot but if you don’t watch ads you don’t get enough upgrades and even with that you run out of time to gather weapons and then run out of time and then guess what? Watch an ad for more time. Even after the 30-45 sec ad all you get is 5 seconds extra? You don’t even have enough time normally to gather weapons and even if you did it takes for ever for the hole to grow to gather the weapons you need in order to even inflict any damage. And finally I HATE how it tells me what to upgrade and won’t let me do it myself. I want to upgrade energy? Too bad it won’t let me it wants me to upgrade what IT wants not what I want. Game has potential but developers come on think of us not yourselves.

I downloaded this game because it looked pretty fun in the ad, and I was also pretty surprised that the game is similar to the ad, the game is smooth, and satisfying, but it does need some changes, there are ALOT, I mean ALOT of ads, for example, when my time runs out for grabbing weapons there is an ad, and it happens for every round, not just one of them. Also, the boss is way to close to me when I start throwing my weapons. And the time runs out VERY quick, like when I’m grabbing some weapons I look at the time, and I only have about 4-5 seconds left, and I didn’t even get enough weapons to defeat the boss, so now I’m stuck on one level and can’t get out and I’m actually thinking about deleting this game because of all these problems

Downloaded this app because it looked like a fun app to pass time with. Boy was I wrong. My battery DRAINED from the ads loaded purely from this app alone. Every 20 seconds there’s an ad. You click a button: ad. I would enjoy this game much more if wasn’t for the constant and non escapable advertising. I even wasted $4 to have an “ad-free” experience and still got ads to be able to upgrade. The constant advertising literally everywhere these days is already annoying enough but this game takes it to the next level. I don’t know how much they’re pocketing in ad revenue alone but I imagine it’s enough to line their pockets there’s so much of it. Terrible experience for a mediocre game. Deleted and I will never download another app from this company again.

So the game it’s self is a good fun concept but the game is so desperate and money hungry for revenue so bad it’s constantly making you buy power ups and stuff so you can build a better arsenal faster but makes it hard to win so you’ll run out of coins and be left to watch ads for more all the ads are so annoying and make the game so laggy if the creators wasn’t so money hungry and got rid of the ads the game would be so much funnier less annoying and run way smother I give this game a 3 out of 10 if it had no ads and ran smoothly I would give it a 8 the concept of the game is cool and fun but the ads ruined the game makes it so laggy and annoying you constantly get stuck on a ad and somtiem em shave to clear the application just to be able to play again it’s dumb

I would give it a 5 but literally it barley gives time to collect any items and you start off so small to where it gets annoying. Maybe 30 seconds would be good but not 20.

Another thing is that at times you get forced to buy an item like the 1+ second or something which is a waste of money since 1 or 2 seconds can’t make a difference on collecting certain items.

The red guy or whatever is so strong. The items you collect in that little amount of time would absolutely do nothing to it.

Then, If you actually buy the 2+ seconds , it only lasts like 1-2 rounds not even. It’s so unfair especially cuz you waste like 700-900 on it just to last 1-2 rounds.

Overall I like what the games about but these things would make a difference.

I downloaded the game because I saw ads about it and it looked fun when I started playing it was actually really fun but as I got in levels higher, everything started to glitch and things that you could get for watch adds we’re loading constantly. I thought it was an issue with my phone, but I restarted my phone and closed out of the app and got back on it many times and nothing changed. Things were still constantly loading and not working There is also a part of the game where you can revive yourself and get more time to collect weapons. Sometimes when I would watch that ad it wouldn’t let me do anything and would just show the screen where the boss is and I wouldn’t be able to get any more weapons. I think this game is nice and I think it’s fun but it definitely needs improvement

The game itself is just a mindless attempt at relieving boredom. It would be a good game if I didn’t have so many ads I had to watch 30 second ads for an extra 5s to get all the ammo. I had to watch a 30 second ad to get magnets so that the ammo would come to me which it seems like you need the power up to actually win lvls bc the hole moves so slow if you don’t have them you can’t pass the lvl without them and you there is 3 so it took me 1min and 30secs just to get the power ups and then an additional 30 second ad to revive in order to be sure to get enough ammo in the hole to defeat the boss. I played it for about 3 hours and most of the time I was watching an ad. Don’t waste you time unless you want to sit and get other games thrown at your face all day long in order to win lvls.

I joined the game thinking it was fun, but when I joined there was so many ads. Also the levels are so hard and they make you watch more ads if you want to revive yourself or get better powers. The ads are normally 30 seconds, and that is a long time for a ad! Do not waist your time playing this. I also am writing this review after only 10 mins of playing, because it is so boring. I almost never write reviews but today I was so disappointed.

For the ads they make it easier to level up and make it so you are at a high level. If you are coming from watching an ad for this game click off and don’t download. I am so mad ‘cause the game looked so fun and I love black hole games. Again I advise you not download and spend your time on a different game. I am now going to delete this game and never download it again!

downloaded the game bc i finally folded after seeing their constant ads on Youtube with a text-to-speech. It was fun at first, i got really far (up to the nukes), and the first problem is that you won’t be able to finish the first time the longer you go. For the Nukes, i had to do the same mission about 15 times to pasa the next level, not to mention that the higher you go, the less damage you do, and less money you get. So you get to have less upgrades per run, therefore more repeating the mission. And Ad wise, it doesn’t give you one everytime you finish the mission like other ADHD attention grabbing TikTok Games, but it does give you an opportunity to see one on every turn, just for the chance that you’d might slip your finger and press it by accident.

Don’t give the time of day like i did to these companies. Make better games

Each time you beat a level and progress, you’re guaranteed to fail the next level AT LEAST 1-2 times but maybe more. It’s not a matter of skill or strategy. It’s literally impossible to swallow enough ammo to beat the level on the first try. It seems watching a couple ads is the only sun around that. But the ads aren’t 30s, they’re at least 60s long, unlike all other F2P games I’ve played.

Watching ads to unlock things faster, or make things easier, is expected in F2P games. But knowing there’s no way to beat a level without watching multiple ads every single new level? Nah. Miss me with that.

I gave it 1 star because on top of the above, it’s clearly the lowest effort possible (graphic/design-wise) to develop a game that will still bring in money for the devs. The graphics are so poor. I’m in an iPhone 13 Pro Max, it’s not a performance issue, it’s the quality of work.

Every time I see an ad in this game, it makes me wanna throw my phone against a wall! It can be fun, and has the potential to be even more so, but the advertisements that you’re bombarded with completely destroy the experience. Even after buying the “ad-free” mode, you still have to watch an ad every time you want to power up, and there’s 3 power ups to get EVERY SINGLE ROUND! And after about round 15 or 20, each round is almost exactly the same. The first few had some decent looking bosses, like robots or monsters. But then the bosses turn into muscle-y stick figures that just change color. Want a new skin for your “hole”? Watch an ad. Want to apply a multiplier to the coins you just won? Watch an ad. Want to add more time to your level? Watch an ad. Oh, and it’s the same 3 or 4 ads each time, and each ad is like 1-2 minutes in length. It’s truly beyond exhausting. 1/10 overall rating.

Apple has lost control of its app store. They cant expect people to want to surf their apps and play games when they are all structured to cram un fathomable amount of low budget ads for other crappy games like this one. Where there is no game they just want you to get addicted to the motion so you have to pay for no apps. Disgusting and annoying apple needs to address this issue asap bc all games are like this now.

Id love to share a phone call with the lead developer on this app and pick his brain as to why he thought the best way to make money was to put so many advertisements in the game that its unbearable and not fun to play. Its just scummy and i will never support a developer who tries to make money by annoying the people who actually play the game! (I wish they replied to these like on google reviews)

Do your self a favor and don't download this commercial montage disguised as a game.

Why you may ask? Although this game is fun or whatever its mainly just full of ads and forces you to spend your coins when you receive a little amount each round. It’s hard to pass the levels if you don’t power up your hole and that means you just spend more money. If you pay for the Ad remover then it will just remove the forced ads and still give you a whole bunch of them. PLEASE DO NOT PAY FOR THE AD REMOVER ITS A WASTE OF MONEY. I’m also requesting a refund this is the worst game I have ever played. Also when you’re done collecting the bullets and weapons or whatever and it asks you do you want to revive for 15s and you press yes, they will make you watch a long ad and sometimes not let you play again after watching the ad, it will make you sit there if front of the big stick man or whatever and at the same time you’ll see the hole and the bullets and weapons and won’t be able to play it.
This game doesn’t even deserve a 1 star but that’s only because it’s fun.

Forgot to say why it’s greedy, duh lol. So they make you spend your coins. Like force you to power up so you will have to watch ads, or buy whatever they are selling lol. Never played a game so desperate for funds, that they won’t let you play the game you down loaded and paid for. This was you can save coins to go over to the next level. Not enough of players being able to play, the Devs need to mind their business, and stop with these scam tactics.

I’ve been playing for a month or two now. I use to be able to go back and play levels. They removed it in order to get people to buy coins instead of actually doing something better to the game. I purchased the ad free mode, but that’s all the money they will get from me lol. Now the game sits and I’m out of pocket change. However I will not watch another ad. Simplistic rip off of .io games. Only thing cool is the Avengers. So that gets a star, or else I’d be 1 star. Im sure this app will fade away, their nothing more to it.

This game is half advertisement, half scam carnival game. The concept isn't horrible, but it could use some work.
The way you progress in this, is by gathering enough weapons to deal enough damage to take down an enemy. This is where they get you, the only way to get enough weapons is to consume almost all of the weapons. The beginning timer is never enough, so you get your weapons, watch a 15-30 second ad, then deal like 4% damage to the enemy, collect your reward, then watch another 15-30 second ad, then upgrade probably two things, then repeat. After playing for 10-15 minutes, the longest level took me 5 attempts, which was 5 minutes at most of watching other mobile game garbage, and 3 minutes of losing the round.
Overall it's like the developer wanted to make a dark souls mobile game, and his only knowledge of dark souls was "if you throw yourself at the enemy enough times you'll eventually win" and made the whole game around that description. Big waste of time don't play.

Interesting game concept. Look elsewhere
Unfortunately the adds are the problem. You do your upgrades and bam you are watching an ad that may not have a volume button but wait after the add plays, it switches to a splash screen for advert and counts down from 10, 15 or 30 seconds. You’ve now waisted a minute and ten seconds of my time. But In order to win, you have to boost your stats which invariably between the three leads to yet more adds, for an extra time bonus, watch another ad or three for all the bonus stats. Play the game, need to watch an add for bonus time…. Win or loose you have to watch another add to get the skin… oh and the bonus multiplyer needs another garish add with no sound control or short cut to get through. Net result less than 1.5 minutes play and nearly 10 minutes of adds. Hint to dev team: play time, volume control like cutting volume when add has gun shots is crucial. Shortcuts through an add to reduce the time by interacting bonus. But please no more 35-45 second adds that cut to a long timer.

I’ll start by saying that this game is fun, BUT, it is absolutely nothing but ads. Sure you can pay to remove ads, which I did; however, this only removes the forced ads. That being said, this game is designed so that you MUST upgrade your hole each round, which eats through what very little money you earn from a round. Due to this, there are “optional” ads that you can watch to revive, when the game determines you didn’t collect enough ammo, and add more time to collect ammo before the fight, and there are “optional” ads to increase your money earned after a fight. Unfortunately, unless you want to replay a level over and over and over until you have enough money to upgrade your hole, you WILL have to watch ads to make it through a level within the first one or two tries. This is designed so that you MUST watch ads to smoothly progress through the game, even when paying for no ads, so not only is this developer greedy as all get out for those who don’t pay to remove ads, they ensure that their greed continues after you e given them money. I’m requesting a refund.

Where does one begin…game is fun. The game gets at minimum two stars because there is a part of my ADHD brain that likes to run around collecting little things to put in a hole. Sadly this is purely just the surface of the game. If you want to actually progress in the game you must face the most challenging opponent to offer; the ADDS. I’m not just talking about the occasional add that will pop up either. The game reaches a certain point where you’re gonna need some boosts; more time, more movement, magnet effect, etc. Sadly one can’t solely get that with the coins, YOU GOTTA WATCH ADDS. The game gets to a point that when you’re prepping for the boss, that time isn’t spent collecting ammo, BUT WATCHING TWO PLUS MINUTES OF ADDS. You want a revive? WATCH AN ADD. I understand these cheesy kind of games are typically filled with ADDS, but this one is on another level. Am I gonna keep playing it? Yes. Am I gonna complain every time I have to look at an ADD for a game no more dumb than this one? You bet your ADD I am. My message to you, dear reader, download if you wish. See if you can enjoy it more than I. Or take my ADDvice; get a hobby, go outside, do something more meaningful with this short life that we have.

I downloaded the game like many others, for some fun and it was but the ads are most annoying and even frustrating. So I paid few dollars to have them removed as advertised, well after paying over $10 I still had ads. Expressed my concerns with tec support and Apple, got good emails but TOTALLY NO RESULTS AND NO REFUNDS. They kept my money and still gave me the ads. I honestly didn’t want the money back I simply wanted WHAT I PAID FOR! That’s all. So good luck to everyone else.

I hate this game. I found it when scrolling and thought to try it out mind you I have ADHD so little games do tend to grab my attention. I played it and there was a lot of ads but it was a whatever because a lot of games have ads and it can be understandable. But the more you play it the more you see ads everywhere. They would make the bosses too overpowered and make you have to rush to get weapons and you weren’t good enough to get through it. Don’t waste your time on this game.

It's fun and all but I deleted it because there was SOMANYADS I repeat SOMANYADS also it glitches and lags SO MUCH donotDOWNLOADthe game froze I was like oh okay just a regular glitch I closed it out but the music was still playing on my Home Screen. I reopened it and it was an ad I was like okay I can continue now then I started upgrading (also after each round the upgrades don't stay) then there was ANOTHER AD it's horrible 0 STARS im deleting in fact I already did

Will smith told me to download this game or he would slap me. It’s another game that’s fun kind of but has no advancement after 23 levels it just starts repeating things. 15-30 seconds of gameplay and it tells you if you aren’t going to beat the boss if you didn’t get enough weapons in the hole. Which then you can proceed to either watch another ad or continue and loss to the “boss”(a joke of a battle) once you lose to the boss it’s another ad. 30 seconds of play then ad or 2.

This game was fun until they changed it so you have to use all of your coins on certain levels. I had enough to upgrade my hole to be able to do one of the higher levels and it loaded the lowest level and made me use EVERYTHING to finish everything with 20 seconds to spare…
Also, it’s legitimately got 11 levels. That’s all! One of them is a “bonus” level where you net less coins than you do playing a normal level. This games got to go back to the old model and add a lot more levels.

Whenever I have a hard level and I lose it. The game forces me to use all the coin I have left to level up. Which means if I don’t beat it first try I lose all the coin I have to level up manually. Sometimes I only need it to be larger or more power for boss. I don’t mind the ads, all games like this are like this. The forcing the play to use their coin is pretty shady though. Makes people have to watch even more ads and pay actual money to pass later levels. If fixed I would rate at least 3.5.

So with that being said it’s a BIG WASTE OF TIME my honest opinion is that this app is terrible and the reason is the ads alone is too much to deal with. When you want to play the game, it gives you an ad when it gives you the option to skip an ad. It still makes you watch the ad so then you lose out on the extra reward that it would’ve gave you if you watched the ad so clearly the more ads that it gives you the more annoyed you’re gonna get. This game is a big waste of your time do not download.

Please do not waste your time with this piece of trash. Game is glitchy making it very hard to play each level. Your progress is reset each time so unless you watch adds you have to play the same level multiple times in order to buy enough upgrades to beat the boss. Don’t bother buying the remove adds because that just means they won’t interrupt your playing with the adds but you still have to watch them if you want upgrades. And many times even after watching the adds you don’t get anything for it.

So 90% of this game is ads, and you really can’t beat any levels without watching ads. You buy upgrades, then after that they take them away from you, and you either do the 3x coins thing to get more coins for the next level. Or you don’t and then have to watch ads for the magnet, extra time, or extra life, and even if you do watch the ads for the 3x coins you’ll still probably not be able to beat the level without watching another ad for a power up. this game is just another typical heavily ad infested game.

ADs are the name of the game. ADs for stat boosts that are wiped to 0 once the next boss is beat. ADs before boss fight attempts, etc.
I watched a couple ADs for boosts when the game froze and I had to restart the app. That actually happens often. Why would I drop any real money to remove ADs when I know there will still be ADs to get boosts? I’m playing on an iPad pro with latest iOS update and still get frequent game freezes that require restart of app. Too annoying overall to entice me to want to make any purchase.

Usually click bait games like these are somewhat enjoyable, but this one is just recycled rounds of the same thing. On top of the very repetitive nature of this game it is an absolute cesspool of ads, I even bought the ad free in hopes of making it somewhat enjoyable to play on a plane ride with no wifi. But no even with having no ads it still forces you to sit for 4 seconds every round to say no to a skin that makes you watch an ad for. It could’ve been a decent game but too glitchy even not on wifi and All around disappointment. Clearly a money grab

I really enjoyed the first couple of levels, around up to level 13. Then I noticed they started repeating over and over, and I realized there is no new maps after that.

The gameplay is fun , but it’s quite noticeable within 30 minutes that it could have been so much more with even just a little bit of effort. But it seems the devs just went for the same soulless cash grab strategy of modern mobile apps. Also 30 second ads ever single chance they get to shove them in your face.

Thanks for a fun hour, but trust me, it’s not worth any of your time after that.

All the effort for developing this game went directly into the ad integration in the game there are a total of ~15 levels in the game after that you keep going up in levels but the game just recycles the same exact levels you have already played sadly it took me 36 levels to realize I ended up back on the first level I am happy though the ad buttons are broken so I don’t even have an option to watch them if I got desperate enough to do so but find it very stupid to just recycle content and just keep incrementing the levels really lame game don’t fall for their ad honey pot

I liked the game at first but it ended up being a big scam, i got to level 16 and it started to repeat levels over and over again,also you have to get most of the weapons to actually kill the boss but it’s also kind of a dead giveaway that you will lose because it asks you right before the actual fight “do you want a revive” and you have to try and kill the boss over and over again just to gather enough points to by 5 timer upgrades because you only have like 22 seconds to collect the items and even with all that time it still does no damage so I think I will be deleting this

I looked really fun from the previews, but once you get playing it's all timed and you die. You start with a tiny hole and takes forever for the hole to get bigger in order for you to collect larger items and by then your time already tan out. the game also freezes up a lot and go to a black screen and you need to close the game out and re open it . Everything is a commercial you have to watch in order to continue unless you pay real money. I think if they get the bugs fixed and give you a bit more time to collect stuff and a little bigger black hole this game could be really fun

Honestly I wanted to give the game a shot. I read the lower reviews but thought I could still have some fun. I opened the app on my iPhone 13 Pro and collected all the bullets (the introduction level) and killed the boss. Then once I claimed the shotgun shell upgrade the game simply froze. Only the ads in the bottom were moving.

I tried clicking on the ads, everywhere around the screen, waiting for upwards of 10 mins to see if it moved. Nothing. I even quit and relaunched the game and nothing fixed it I had to do the level again and the same issue happened. So yeah it was disappointing

The most recent update was stupid, they make it so you HAVE to use almost ALL your points to upgrade before starting, whoever on your design team thought of that was stupid and the lot definitely need to seek another profession.

You earn “gems” but there is literally NOTHING you can do with the gems, they are just there for no reason, the person who thought of THAT is also dumber than a sackful of doorknobs.

Also, there should be more variation through the levels, did you all not play test this before putting it on the market? Your design team lacks creativity and innovation, do better.

Literally hope you like watching ads, being delayed to encourage you to watch ads, or spend 5 times longer progressing.

Oh, you pay 5 like I did? Doesn’t matter, the only ads that 5 removes are the ones the game forces on you without your consent. Otherwise you paid for the choice to watch ads or quickly get bored.

Like that new skin? Watch ads to keep it

Want to get a good multiplier? Watch ads or you get the bare minimum.

Looking to move beyond the abysmal progression? Guess what you get to do.

Do what I’m doing. Count your money lost and go find something more productive, like breathing.
