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) a09c17d780 Title: MicronGenre: Casual, IndieDeveloper:Apparition GamesPublisher:Apparition GamesRelease Date: 23 Jul, 2014 Micron Update 8 Download Some games have learning curves so gentle, they never really take off before you get bored.Some games have learning curves so steep, you start floundering five minutes in.Some games have levels that look like they were pulled out of a random level generator.But this, my friend, is game design done right. So right that it brings a tear to my eye and chills down my spine.When I am on my dying bed thinking about the few regrets that I had in my life, I will say, "At least I played Micron.". Great puzzle game, with great music, I would absolutely recommend it.Although, with only 63 levels, it can has a short lifetime, and I recommend getting this game on sale, on in a bundle.. Fun little game. If you like Ichi or other motion puzzlers, you will enjoy this one as well.. I enjoy puzzle games of all kinds, I especially have a soft spot for those with simple design mechanics, Micron definitely fits this criteria, however, for it's price I can't recommend it. The gameplay is incredibly simple, it's a "bullet redirector", bounce incoming bullets off of strategically placed mirrors to get them to your desired location or to hit particular switches in a certain order which opens up the exit door. Very simple mechanics indeed, but the levels are all incredibly easy offering no real challenge, aside from a small handful (let's say 10). I managed to complete all the stock levels (including the 12 bonus missions) in less than two hours.Micron is a decent game, but has very little to offer for it's price tag. Buy it during a sale for a quick puzzle fix, otherwise, I'd advise looking elsewhere this time.. Puzzle\/timing at its finest. An awesome game, really! Minimalistic, with short and fast level but also more and more challenging, just like I love 'em :). 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.. 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.
