Analysis of 36 Fragments of Midnight, a fragile and innocent proposal
Accustomed, as we are, to exclusive digital games cost from 10 to 40 euros, one does not usually think much if you see one for 2.99 euros, however simple it may seem a priori. Because '36 Fragments of Midnight 'is one of those strange cases in which the title of the game already tells us everything we are going to see in it, without cheating or cardboard.
Collect 36 midnight fragments? So is. And it has nothing else. Literally. But as I had no analysis on Steam and just released on the Nintendo Switch, my curiosity could more. And total, being so cheap ...
In search of lost fragments
Petite Games ''36 Fragments of Midnight' showcases Midnight, a diminutive, whitish, squiggly creature in a dark world.
Curiously, the furry beings who inhabit it are not hostile, despite their intimidating aspect, and in fact they will be the ones who ask us to pick up the fragments of midnight. The dangers will come from traps, from saws to lasers or skewers, as if it were a Super Meat Boy.
The "grace", in a way, of this platforms is that the map will be generated in a random way, so that every time they kill us (there are no lives as such), we will start with a totally different arrangement of the fragments.
The Limitations of 36 Fragments of Midnight
The problem is that everything is too simple, and it is an adventure that can be completed in just a few minutes. Because once these 36 fragments were collected, the game was finished. And the end is most shabby, like most of the recreational credits of the last century. Only worse.
Note that Petite Games have not been too ambitious with this project, but at least they could have offered bigger challenges since all the traps are quite simple. And that, if they kill us, will almost always be the clumsiness of control, with rather random failures with double jump or falls.
This on a platform is unforgivable, and if we add that short experience is, despite the pleasant atmosphere (which ultimately takes advantage of nothing more than slight variations in lighting), becomes in a title that will be easily forgotten. And rightly so.
The opinion
'36 Fragments of Midnight 'is another heap platforms, only in this case we can air it in just a few minutes. The challenge of getting the 36 fragments, is not as such, however much the game reminds us of what our record was before killing us. Better to opt for other proposals.
