Do you love 2048, tricky brain teasers, or relaxed games for downtime? Then Black Holes is about to become your next favorite logic game. The rule is simple: swipe energy tiles into the black holes and hit the target value right on the mark. No blind pushing, no luck involved — just pure precision and strategy. Land exactly on zero, and the black hole collapses — a new one appears. But absorb even one energy unit too many, and the core overloads — game over. FIVE GAME MODES — MORE THAN JUST A PUZZLE ◆ CLASSIC MODE The pure, undisturbed puzzle experience. No time pressure, no distractions. Just you, your numbers, and your strategy. How high can your high score go? ◆ BLITZ MODE A clock ticks down relentlessly — every collapse buys you a few more seconds. How fast does your brain work under pressure? ◆ FUSION MODE Classic 2048 mechanics meet black holes! Merge tiles of equal value before you swipe them into the core. Can you master this double layer of tactics? ◆ NEBULA MODE Half the tiles are hidden in dark fog. Memorize the values, solve the puzzle from memory, and collapse the black hole. How sharp is your memory, really? ◆ QUANTUM MODE Two black holes active at once. Manage both cores in parallel without overloading either one. Can you handle the ultimate multitasking challenge? WHY BLACK HOLES? • The perfect casual game: Easy to learn, hard to master — ideal for a quick round on the go or long puzzle sessions. • Effective brain training: Sharpen your focus, memory, and logical thinking with every successful collapse. • 100% free & fair: No in-app purchases, no subscriptions, no paywalls. • Fully playable offline: Enjoy the complete game anytime, anywhere — no internet connection or Wi-Fi required. • Instant fun: No sign-up, no account needed — jump straight in and destroy your first black hole. • Full tactical control: Bend the space-time continuum with 6 powerful power-ups to break free from any dead end. • Cosmic long-term motivation: Unlock 51 unique achievements and bring 9 beautiful constellations to life in the night sky. • Elegant space design: An eye-friendly dark mode with a modern cosmic look — perfectly optimized for relaxed play at any time of day. • Play in your language: Fully and seamlessly localized in 26 languages. Whether it's 5 minutes on the train or a whole evening on the couch — Black Holes is the logic game that challenges your mind and won't let go. Can you keep the universe in balance?
