Space Hole 2020 Reviews

this is the closest experience to the Lucy in the Sky

Thank god I am not epileptic

I'm not sure what just happened, but I think I can see time now.

an excellent photosensitive epilepsy test

Fascinating art exhibit / acid trip. Rewind feature smooths the gameplay experience, exploration and experimentation is fully encouraged. I really love the music, reminiscent of Mogwai.

I didn't find everything but I reached the end. It was cool, I enjoyed it.

This is such a great game to relax and melt your brain with, there's so many weird trinkets to see and obstacles to maneuver through. Everything in this game feels equally "unimportant" which makes even the smallest discoveries feel as meaningful as the main objective. I never felt frustrated by not knowing where to go since there's always some weird thing in the distance you want to see close-up, or a certain screen effect you just want to roll around in for a while. Eventually, you find a space hole or an unlockable or a cool looking path way to roll through and then you rinse and repeat. I'm officially a Space Hole franchise fan, for anyone looking for a chill game that feels different than anything you've ever played before, definitely check this out. Just go in with no expectations for what it'll be and let the space holes take you places :)

I'm grateful this made it out in time for the end of 2020. Thanks Mr. Atlas, you keep giving us these wonderful art-game exhibits that are real, actual, fun exploration games; when most art-games-artists make something that's basically just an interactive painting tool. I don't know what's next now that we've reached the end (but does space ever REALLY end?), I wish you luck and I'll keep an eye out for it. I really wish there was more content like this on steam. If you're on the fence about it and reading this: just buy it. There's an actual game to play here, and it's a fun, funny, weirdly nostalgia-inducing psychadelic experience! Absolutely recommended.

Whoa! Strap in and you will see some crazy shit. It was starting to get wild when I finally realized the acid trip I was having was actually just a blend of video and post processing effects showing me a calming lake. This version of Space Hole feels safer to explore. You can use the space bar to rewind, removing some of the punishment from figuring out how to get through levels. It's got a tight menu of levels/gameplay modes given right up front, which I like. You can even choose art demo modes to check out the super cool interactive displays Sam's been doing for a while. In fact, if access to those "art levels" alone aren't worth $3, I don't know what is. Buy you some Space Hole 2020! Bust out the drawing level at a party when your friends are allowed over again in 2022! It will be fun!

I always finish a game before I review it but my track record has been zero for two with regard to the Space Hole games. I love these games though so I’m just going to go ahead and review it because chances are I won’t finish this one either. And honestly, I don’t have to. Space Hole is not a game to me, it’s an experience. It’s an art installation that I can just lose myself in until I feel like I’ve had enough and it doesn’t beg me to complete it. Get this right now. Its about a dollar on launch sale and if you like trippy visuals, platforming, exploration, a solid soundtrack, marble rollers or indeed just Space in general, I urge you to pick this up. [h1] PROS [/h1] [list]+ wines age well….Space Holes evolve well. Space Hole 2020 in my opinion is another stride in Sam Atlas’s artistic vision. Don’t get me wrong, 2016 and 2018 are also great. But they lack the finesse and visual overload which 2020 brings. 2016 was platforming hell. 2018 was more of an exploration/easter egg hunt. 2020 is a bit of both while at the same time taping your eyes open Clockwork Orange style and saturating your brain with visual insanity.[/list] [list]+ DL Salo. [url=https://www.saintsalo.com/music-score-clips ] head here to check out some of Salo’s work. [/url] As always with the Space Hole games the music is really the glue that holds the whole experience together. We start the game with a crushing slow burn track that reminds me of Mogwai and then on some other levels we are on some Philip Glass types of arrangements. The sounds will really do wonders to your soul in this game.[/list] [list]+ experiment, explore, exit. Space Hole is a game to be played on your demands only. “Buy the ticket, take the ride,” as a famous Dr. once said. You are free to play as much or as little as you like of this game. So it has this casual feel to it but it is anything but a casual game.[/list] [h1] CONS [/h1] [list]- all CONS were ejected out the airlock and are lost to the depths of the universe.[/list] [h1] THE CONCLUSION [/h1] The Space Hole project which has been in play since 2016 has seen a metamorphosis of the concept in it’s three installments. In the beginning there was an unforgiving marble runner platformer. 2018 was a more conceptual and exploration focused game with countless rabbit holes to fall into. 2020 is the same game but different. It wants to give rather than to receive. Reward rather than punish. 2020 was a pretty bad year. Space Hole 2020 is here to try and fix that. Buy it, put on some headphones and get legally high.
