Midnight
SCORE: 74
Midnight is an exclusive downloadable only Wii U home console video
game. It fits under what we generally call a flinger. There are numerous
physics based flingers on the app stores. In Midnight we take our Pong
ball and direct where it will be launched and with how much force.
Since there are twenty-eight levels in Midnight you can guess it gets
hard around the midway point.Things like spikes and chain saws get into
our way. One mistake in Midnight and you have to start the level over
again. Which is nice in some ways since we are graded on how many moves
we make.
The goal in Midnight is to complete the levels in as few moves as
possible. Players are granted one, two, or three stars based on how they
did. I was happy to beat some levels. Especially when I had to guess
about where to launch and how hard. Going back and forth in levels can
be frustrating, since it can be hard to remember what was successful the
first time.
I learned one important thing in Midnight. The edges of the screen are
not always walls. I flung my white little block too far a couple of
times. It wasn't pleasant. Speaking of unpleasant things, you will have
to retry certain levels over and over again. This can cause real world
anger.
Midnight has great music that soothes the savage beast. It can help you
take a knee and focus on what needs to be done. I wish Midnight had some
kind of guide that showed the last thing tried. I would launch too far,
and then not far enough. Finding that perfect balance was rarely easy.
At the time this review was written Midnight is selling for $1.99. This
is a very fair price for a game like this one. Families will get their
two dollars worth out of Midnight. I believe sequels to this Wii U home
console game would be a good idea. Especially if a few more things are
done graphically. Like that ball we roll down to a switch should have
been some different color.
