The aim of this game/tool is to help the black hole get fed. You must drag its food (purple energy balls) into the black hole. Each time the black hole is fed it gains energy and warps space-time to go to a location near its next food source, where it will need your help again to feed itself.

This project was created for Tool Jam 2 where they specified a theme for submissions, that theme being to design a tool with a serious limitation. The tool is a food grabber (your mouse) with some serious limitations. The grabber has the limitation of not being able to move food at a fast pace without dropping it. It also has unconventional controls that make it more difficult to control precisely, making it annoying to use for its purpose.

All code, music and sprites created by me (except for the mouse sprite).
