I started playing Micron from Indie Royal's Lunar Bundle. For those who haven't heard of it, Micron is a puzzle strategy game that has the simple objective broken up into individual levels of guiding moving balls to the target of the stage using various bumps to change the direction of the balls. The early levels are pretty straightforward and simple, increasing in difficulty as you progress.
What's also a nice aspect about this game is that each ball makes a sound every time it hits an object. So you create a rhythm while trying to complete a level. This makes the game all that more interesting as your actions directly influence the game melody. The level begins with a beat and builds from there with every bounce the balls make. And as you progress through the game the level zones change colors as they increase in difficulty.
Overall this is a very mellow casual game that is easy to learn but difficult to master. One of the things I'm surprised this doesn't include is a level editor. Of course at the time of this review I have not completed this game so it could very well be something that is unlocked at end game. While I do enjoy fitting in a game or two on the PC I can't help but think this is better as an Android app. So if you enjoy casual puzzle strategy games I encourage you to check this one out. It's available for PC/Mac, and mobile.Website
