Midnight Reviews

Midnight is a golf-like puzzle game in which you take a square and shoot it into safe points over 56 level which range from very easy to pretty dang hard. The game is very relaxing to play with calming piano music, easy gameplay, and soft on the eyes art style. This game takes the golf shooting puzzle game and makes it interesting with the personality of the art and somber tone of it. The game overall is a fun, enjoyable experience that is also challenging. I would recommend Midnight, but not at full price. If you really love golf-like puzzle games them definitely get it at full price, but for those who arent hardcore fans of the concept, wait for it to go on sale. I beat the game in 89 minutes and got my .87 cents out of it for sure.

Music seems ok (if you like piano), graphics are decent, but UI (user interface) is not. You gotta find for yourself how to reset/restart/quit level, no pause menu, or at least can't find it yet. It would be "great" to see some key mappings in options menú at least, or simply getting some advise at first time playin telling us how to restart or quit game, cause ESC does nothing... Game itself is quite slow, just tryal and error. Maybe some kind of reward would help keep playin this game. Tested on Linux, game launched without problem.

This game either needs way more polish, or it needs to be free. But right now, I have to thumb this game down. I usually let some things slide with free or really cheap games, but midnight doesn't get a pass. ---------- The pros: ---------- 1. Great idea, atmosphere and music. 2. Night-time color palette that compliments the atmosphere, including that ray of light your star is casting, love it. 3. Level design is ok, but a bit unpolished. --------- The cons: --------- 1. The worst sin physics - The ball/star feels like it has no weight, this is a physics based golf puzzler. The way the ball interacts with the world needs to feel better, 'heavier' and more satisfying. 2. Awful UI and menu design - Menu is ugly, lacking options like turning off music or sound effects. Every time you fail a level you go back to the 'level select' screen. Time wasting and frustrating. 3. Music is ok, but feels way too generic fee 'public domain music copy-paste here' 4. There is no rhyme or reason for anything you do, some sort of very basic storytelling elements would go a long way. -------- Verdict -------- Eventhough it's just 'ok' - This game needs alot more polish and thought to feel less amaturish. OR - It needs to be free. I give this game an EH.. 4/10.

"You know those relaxing physics-based puzzle games? Let's make one of those, but make the gameplay not relaxing" -the developers (probably)

Highly recommend this game! Beautiful, clean graphics, relaxing piano music, and 56 entertaining puzzles - yup, this is one of the best games to just chill out and test your problem solving skills. I'll be honest I'm not usually a puzzle gamer, but the creators made an irresistable atmosphere to play in. It made me feel like sneaking out at night as a child and playing in a field or jungle gym. Despite my occasional outbursts of "Gaaaaaaaaaaahh!", I'm looking forward to beating all the levels and getting a perfect 3/3!

Midnight has 56 levels which seem to be progressively more difficult. Don't be fooled by the simple game mechanics. To hit the exact right spot can be tricky. The piano music is soothing and should prevent most players from rage quitting. It is a good game to spend a few minutes now and then to unwind. As it is on sale at the moment for € 0.74 there is really no reason not to buy and try the game. The game has trading cards, a fact not mentioned on the store page for reasons unknown. You can't take screenshots with the Steam overlay. I did it with Radeon Relive and uploaded them with SteaScree. You have only two choices 'Save and Quit' and 'Save and Continue'. Once in the next level, you either have to finish the level to be able to exit the game or use brute force Ctrl+Alt+Del to get out of the game (I'm not aware of a key that lets you quit at any time). EDIT: The "Q" key lets you quit - thanks CorvusCorax. As your performance is rated from one to three stars depending on how many 'strokes' you needed there is replayability for perfectionists. Midnight supports 4K resolution and runs well for me. The only glitch I noticed when your 'fairy' lands on a slope you have to wait until it slides to a horizontal area to be able to perform the next move. It's an entertaining game which I recommend.

Enjoyable game with a great atmosphere. I would recommend Midnight to anyone looking for a casual indie game.

Highly addictive game. Fun?! Well, lets just say that it's frustrating as hell most of the time, but yeah, it's fun. You'll spend a lot of time trying to get that square, glowing, little B#%#@ in the hole...And swearing at that little bugger most of the time...Which in a way can be fun itself! The graphics, great! Sound clean and crisp. Super LOVE the music and snow! (But the graphics with snow and music may be the only calming influences throughout the game!) Recommend this game?! Yes, highly. We're gamers and we LOVE a good challenge! But I will add, now I know why golfer's brake their clubs in two!...Enjoy the game!

Petite Games is specialised in the development of short, relaxing games. Midnight is one of them: our task is to shoot a square into the exit section of each level. The concept is similar to that of Angry Birds: the fewer shots you do to accomplish your task the better score you get (out of a maximum 3 stars). The game looks simplistic in terms of graphics and the options available in the main menu but it is relaxing. It is a typical game used for pastime when you need something non-AAA and you want to get away from achievement hunting or multiplayer games that give you increased adrenaline. The game has an overall of 56 levels (a rather strange number) that get gradually more difficult. Recommended if you like these short, atmospheric games; I recommend spending less than a euro, though. Your best bet is to purchase it when discounted.

Fun little game with nice aesthetics that is fairly easy so far. After around 30 minutes I've made it to level 12, clearing all the levels with 3 out of 3 stars. However, as you progress new game elements like moving buzz saws or other obstacles are being introduced. Getting all the stars becomes increasingly difficult and quickly turns this game into a reset simulator. That said, if you don't care about getting all the stars you can progress considerably faster. Midnight also features a short but beautiful, soothing piano track. I wish it wouldn't be interrupted everytime you reset a level, though. A few things to note: [list][*]On first launch the game tries to connect to Google servers for unknown reasons. If you value your privacy, just block the game in your firewall and you're good to go. [*]The game process keeps running after you quit, resulting in Steam assuming you're still in-game and increasing your play time. Not only does this mess with your Steam stats, but it also might become relevant in case you don't like the game and want to refund it. So make sure to terminate the process after exiting the game.[/list] All in all, this game is perfect to be played whenever you want to chill, or kill some time.
