[Found: Ebonstar] Name that game: 2D-MP-space-arena-"shooter"

Hi!

I've been searching for this game for years - maybe anyone knows its name?

It's a top-down 2D space shooter, singleplayer or multiplayer up to 4 players on the same screen.
The arena is rectangular, about screen-sized and does not scroll, the background is grid-like, white grid on dark background. Every player controls a triangle-shaped ship in an asteroids-like way. Every ship can only fire ONE shot, which bounces off the walls. If you fire another shot, the first one disappears. Shots bounce off the player ships as well.

Goal is not to destroy the other player's ship with your laser but to push him into the black hole that moves over the map - shown by a distortion in the background-grid.

It's an amiga game, I don't think it's PD but I'm not sure.

Does anyone remember this game?

I'm looking forward to play it again!

Cheers,
fab

Well..this answer I've been searching for for years now - it took no more than 20 mins for you to tell me. I'm impressed.

Thank you - this is it!
