About This Game Micron is a unique fusion of puzzle and rhythm gameplay. Place pieces on the board to deflect bullets of energy that fire to the beat. Guide the bullets to the exit through 51 challenging levels — and 12 bonus levels — featuring a variety of distinctive soundscapes. Your solutions create the music.Award-Winning DesignMicron began as a game created for Kongregate's 'Project Eden: Experience the Music' game contest, in which it won 2nd place. The judges included Tetsuya Mizuguchi, creator of REZ and LUMINES, and representatives from Ubisoft, Gamespot, and Kongregate.“Classic visual like the Famicon but experiencing the process of sound effects evolving into the music felt really good. The harder the game, the more exciting the music gets — this was blended perfectly.” — Tetsuya MizuguchiKey FeaturesTest your puzzle-solving skills with 63 levelsExperience 7 level themes each with unique music and soundsPlay levels created by the community on the Steam WorkshopCreate your own levels with the included level editor (Windows only)Control the game with a mouse, keyboard, or controller — also works on touchscreensSupports controller vibration for the Xbox 360 controller (Windows only) 7aa9394dea Title: MicronGenre: Casual, IndieDeveloper:Apparition GamesPublisher:Apparition GamesRelease Date: 23 Jul, 2014 Micron Download No Virus What a pleasant little distraction for the last couple of days. To look at it from the outside, it's a faily standard switch-pressing puzzler of which there have been quite a few. However, Micron stands apart in a couple of ways:1. It doesn't get stupidly hard (see caveat below)2. It doesn't go on longer than it should3. Each level doesn't take too long to completeMost games of this time get to a point, and it's clear the developer's been holding back some painfully hard levels, and has run out of 'ramp up' levels, and all of a sudden drops you off a cliff. You're sitting there looking a level thinking "The last level took me 2 minutes, and I've been staring at this for more than 20. What happened?" (I'm looking at you P.B. Winterbottom amongst others). This doesn't happen in Micron... The levels are iteratively harder, and many of the 'nice interlude' levels (as I think of them) give you a strong hint as to what the twist in the upcoming level is going to be, while being pretty easy in themselves.There are some strategies you learn, and sometimes you just look at a level, the selection of pieces and it all just clicks.Okay, here comes the caveat. There are a couple of levels which require you to do something a tad differently to the levels around them: Bonus 9 comes to mind. For those, there was no choice but to go have a look at a hint. Every permutation I tried just wouldn't work. In those cases, it's usually because you need to do something with precision timing, and Ijust hadn't experimented enough.I like the little tricks it plays with your assumptions on colours, and the ways it makes you think about stretching 'flight time' to synchronise events.The game would have only taken me one evening to finish, if I'd played it in one sitting. All in all, I think about 3 hours of playtime, which was perfect. For a quid or two, a nice little puzzler, perfect for a plane flight, train ride, or just whiling away a little time with a cup of tea.. A nice and fun puzzle game! Simple but difficult. 10\/10. I like this game. It's a decently difficult puzzler with nice music and sound effects for the different things that the balls do. It's pretty short, though, and, just like most other puzzle games, once you beat it, it has essentially no replay value. There are some bonus levels that get unlocked once it's beaten, though, and with the Steam Community adding puzzles to it, this game's only shortfall is mostly neutralized. And for the price, should for whatever reason you not like it, there's really no loss.. Excercise your critical thinking skills in this fun puzzle game. With its simplistic design and musical sound effects I found it quite enjoyable and would highly recommend it. The concept is simple. Balls are shot from an opening and you must place angles and or portals to get it to open doors and get them to the end. The difficulty is you must put them in the proper spot at the proper time to achieve your goal. It is a great game for all ages however those under ten may need help to finish it unless they are unusually patient. A great game to play with your children though. Get their little problem solving wheels turning! The game has some difficult levels but not overly so in my opinion. I did however cheat on one of the bonus levels and look for the answer elsewhere. There are a number of free levels for download in the steam workshop as well. Just subscribe to them and they will be downloaded the next time you start the game. I did not find any bugs and was not able to complete any level using less than the full complement of pieces provided. Note: This is edited because I could not find the level editor. I did find the level editor it is in your steam files.In my opinon it would be worth the full price of $4.99 or even better to purchase it on sale! However I prefer to let the gamer decide how much a game is worth as it is a subjective matter. Hope this review helped. Enjoy your Gaming!.
