In terms of issues I don’t have many concerns or complaints but it would be fair to say that, overall, it’s not as flashy visually as some of the top-tier indie shooters on the system. In handheld mode I didn’t notice it as much but in docked mode there are just some oddities visually with how things will move and change at times. Getting through to the end of the game is a pretty significant feat on Normal, and it will require your full concentration, but the jump to Hard just feels a bit extreme by my impression. I would imagine beating the game on Hard would be reserved only for very dedicated and patient shooter fans. Sporting an extremely reasonable price in the eShop arcade shooting fans of all skill levels can likely get some solid hours of enjoyment out of Black Hole. It doesn’t aspire to change the world or be a revelation, but it delivers a varied challenge that I enjoyed. Playing through with all 3 available ships proved to be worthwhile as they each had their own feel and I enjoyed trying out different upgrade paths to find what worked best for me. It’s a great riff and improvement on a classic formula at a fair price point.
