A downloadable game for Windows

~Made in 48 Hours for the University of  Utah's Feb 2022 Game Jam~

Life in space can get lonely, especially when you're a supermassive black hole. It seems like anything you get close to just... disappears! Two brothers, cursed by the nature of their existence, keep each other company in the swirling darkness.

Then one day, everything changes, when the two of them come across the cutest, bluest planet in the galaxy: the lovely, lively Earth. 

But before either of them can seal the deal, danger strikes - a storm of asteroids now threatens to batter their newfound love to death! Can these two brothers guide their planetary darling away from harm, without accidentally consuming her in the process?

Use gravity-based controls to guide and protect the Earth! But beware of getting too close...

Way to go guys! This was a fun challenge, especially when playing with a fried. - The animation was hilarious, art was beautiful and the music really completed the whole package!

lovely game old sports! The game really shone in every category! Art was incredibly good, gameplay was awesome, and music was top-notch. a truly awesome entry to the game jam! I managed to survive to 1:10, but this game isn't easy! I think it would be great to see the same game but with only one blackhole, due to the fact that I wasn't playing multiplayer.
