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

  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.

  [h1]TL;DR[/h1] Good gameplay with lots of problems surrounding it. If you really like these kind of games and focus only on the gameplay, try it. If you are a guy like me that likes some amount of eyecandy and overall working game, don't. [h1]General graphics and options[/h1] It seemed like this was a fun little game to play and spend some spare time, initially I was pulled in by the aesthetics which made me purchase the game. However upon starting the game I was greeted with really low resolution graphics and fixed on 16:9 (black bars left and right). I can get over the 16:9 fixation, since this is a 2D game and it needs a lot of work to make 21:9 supported. (Ori and the blind forest has this too, with a good reason.) I game on a 34" 3440x1440 (21:9) monitor and the jagged edges of the font and other graphics in game were really not pleasing on the eyes. First thing I did was go into the options which pretty much had nothing in there to actually make a difference to the game. There are only a few options total which adjust some ingame rendering settings. [h1]Interface[/h1] How the interface works is pretty counterintuitive. After finishing the level, there are only 2 options: one being Save and Continue and the other Save and Quit. The perfection guy in me wanted to retry the level since I only got 1 star, but there was no option. Going with the Save and Continue option (since I don't want to quit the game), I ended up in the next level, which I didn't want to! I expected to get to the level selection. Immediately I pressed Esc to get back to the menu, but it didn't do anything. I found myself going through every button on my keyboard to find out how to get some kind of menu with options. Eventually Q got me out to the level selection. Soon I found out that R is for restart. (Note: a few levels farther, I think level 5, there were some instructions for Q and R. Which is pretty late.) [h1]Exit bug[/h1] Exiting the game is not working correctly on my machine (Win10), the process keeps running and Steam keeps saying I'm still ingame. Leaving me with no other option than to manually kill the process. [h1]Gameplay[/h1] Gameplay is exactly as shown, it's fun to spend some time. It plays like Angry Birds and other games alike. I like the dark setting and the art on the background, the lightbeams and shadows look fun and move really smooth. However, again really jagged edges/pixellated. [h1]Sound[/h1] Then onto the sound, at first I thought, nice piano. But it got unbelievably repetitive even in the short time I played through multiple levels. Some sound effects seem really simple and a bit off. (Like the very loud piano bash when you hit a "monster" or fly off screen.) [h1]Conclusion[/h1] I like the actual gameplay, good to make time pass. However, in my opinion, too immature development wise. It needs a lot of polishing for me to become a playable game. There are too many things that are quite frustrating and annoying that completely pull my focus away from the actual game. I hope there will be some updates in the future.

  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.

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

  Like the artstyle, like the simplicity, like the music, but this is not a game to be played on PC. It's your typical "i play 3 levels while having my private time" type of game you play on your mobile. It also has the 3 stars system and everything else you know from the mobile platform. For PC games i expect more than that.

  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.
