Black Out is an original idea thought by me especifically for YoYoGames' Competition04.
The game is about saving Earth from a hazardous experiment that released energy balls on atmosphere.
Hope you enjoy!

Description:
Pilot a hang glider flying across the sky in different locations around the world, destroying as many black-holes as possible.

Features:
- Full 3d environment
- 5 different unlockable locations
- 7 kinds of black holes, each with different behaviors
- 6 unlockable hang gliders, each with its own attributes such as speed, agility and gliding
- Local-stored hi-scores

Story:
It's late 2009 and the recreation of the Big Bang experiment has been completed successfully.

Although, it also caused some small black holes to appear in the sky, and once they lose their anti-gravitational field will swallow Earth. Your objective is to destroy these colored 'black holes' across the sky using your Antimatter Field, flying near them with a hang-glider, since their high EMP makes any human aircraft no use. Fly across the sky in 5 distinct locations and try to maximize your score destroying 7 different kinds of black holes in order to save the planet!

Looks pretty impressive... I'll try to play it tomorrow.

C'mon people, try it, please.
Played only 12 times (about 5 were played by me! lol)

I think it's not that terrible...

Some rating wouldn't go bad, either.
Even negative, as long as you comment about what could be better about it.

Thank you.

I played level 1 all the way through and read the introduction.
From that much I saw the game as slow and simple, but like allot of time was put into making it.
Thanks for sharing it.

Played it.
It's not really my type of game, but in saying that, the graphics were well made, and it was well programmed. Fairly Enjoyable to play, too.

Good work! and Good luck with the competition!

I'd play it... but sadly i refuse to play the games hosted by the yoyogames section... no offense, but when i try to play those games it always makes my computer act wierd... so if you can upload it to host-a.net or something... i'll be glad to take a crack at it...

It was a pretty decent game, other than it being extremely hard to tell how far away they were, how hard it was to steer, and that for some reason, I couldn't pull up, even though those things were above me.

Other than that, it was a good game. It could use a better environment and some sounds.
6/10

Just too slow, even with the faster hangliders :/ Most of the better dodging/collecting games involve massive speed.

Extremely slow game, so I got bored of it quickly. The 3d was pretty good though.

There were a lot of things that bothered me though:

-Why are you using a hang glider? That makes no sense.
-Any black holes created by that particle accelerator (which is unlikely to begin with) would be so small they would evaporate into the atmosphere
-We have 20 nanograms of antimatter right now, nothing even close to some sort of field thing like that. Also, if we could somehow do it, it would blow you up, as it touches you in the game. Also... I don't think antimatter would do much to a black hole. Those ones in the game were really big too, so they would be sucking crap up way before they hit the ground.

I understand most of that is just for gameplay purposes, but I think a hang glider is just a dumb idea for something that requires technology we don't have to begin with... Why wouldn't we use, you know, a jet of some kind? You know, something that can actually go up? Something that moves faster than 3 miles per hour?
