Evaluation

Black Hole Fishing launched on April 7, 2026 and has received consistent developer attention since then — multiple hotfixes, quality-of-life patches, a story/tutorial update, and a full OST integration have shipped in the months following launch. The most recent developer communication is from June 25, 2026, where the developer posted a detailed "Summer Update" outlining both what was just added (the new dynamic soundtrack, visual polish, and prestige screen improvements) and what is actively being worked on next. The developer listed three specific areas of upcoming development: game balance improvements (especially the prestige screen), a rework of how mass is redistributed via the Large Halibut Collider to break the current single-fish meta, and improved UI features like fish behavior indicators. The developer also noted that new fish have been created and are awaiting placement in the game. The developer acknowledged taking more time off than expected after a difficult launch period but stated clearly that they are back and energized, with plans to push multiple updates before the end of the Steam Summer Sale. The developer also referenced a previously published roadmap as still accurate in terms of goals, confirming the long-term content direction hasn't changed. This game is actively being developed with concrete, named upcoming changes described as recently as June 25, 2026.

About this game

Black Hole Fishing is an incremental game about catching absurd numbers of fish using a black hole. Suck fish straight out of the pond, automate restocking and perform questionable fish science. Upgrade it all. Repeat.

Build the World's Most Ridiculous Fish Pond

Start with a humble pond. Catch exotic fish, stock your waters, and then remove those fancy fish from reality using a hungry singularity. Feed the black hole to make it stronger. Bigger the hole, better the fishing.

Do Extremely Normal Fish Science

Why wait for evolution when you can speedrun it. Inject traits directly into your fish. Paint them. Compare your fish. Choose the winners. Cross-breed them and see what happens. Launch your favorites out of a cannon for profit and bonuses. This is all for fun and definitely not concerning!

Unlock powerful tools like the Large Halibut Collider™, combine fish at alarming speeds, discover all six Quantum Sharks, and push your understanding of mysterious singularities far beyond what anyone asked for.

Important Features:

Throw rocks to scare fish into the black hole
Stock the pond with fish
Upgrade your stockers (and everything else)
Catch fish in the wild
Compare your fish to only use the best
Research your fish for science
Paint and Inject your fish to Maximize their profitability
Cross-breed your best fish in the hatchery to Discover new traits and Optimize your profits
Fire your favorite fish out of a cannon to trigger bonus effects
Operate a particle collider for science!

As your operation grows, you will start to uncover the true mystery of the Fishy Business, and its equally fishy clientele. The upgrades keep coming, the payouts get bigger, and the whole thing starts to feel bigger than just fishing.

Where are these fish going? Who is paying you? Don't overthink it, let's just catch some fish!
