    Birthday of Midnight is a golf like Physics game. This is the fourth entry in Petite Games' series Published by Ratalaika. You play as Midnight, the Fairy, and it's your Birthday!

You play as Midnight, the Fairy, and it's your Birthday! But the story really has no relevance to the game. Using your joystick you aim and adjust the power of your swing, then launch Midnight off into the danger ridden darkness. Your objective is to play some really intricate Mini-Golf, with a square ball. Not to mention having to deal with timing, buzz saws, spikes, pitfalls, lazers, levers and other hazards. There are over 70 levels for you to figure out and conquer, some fairly straight forward, others take a bit of figuring out, and others take fairly precise timing. Unless Mini-Golf trhills you the gameplay can get a bit repetitious, leading to the game needing to be played in bursts for me. The game relies on a fairly solid gravity engine, and you can feel that any real mistakes were your own, not the fault of the layout, or design. The music is relaxing piano, and feels good with the environment most of the time. The environment itself is Dark and Spokky, just right to have come out a bit before Halloween. Creepy eyes and Jack-O-Lantern faces peer at you from the darkness. Overall Birthday of Midnight is a great time passer, the challenge it provides can be just as satisfying as frustrating.… Expand

    If you want to kill some time or you feel like boosting your Gamerscore, then Birthday of Midnight on Xbox One is a cheap buy that will take up a couple hours of your time. It also comes with a very Halloweeny theme, and a soundtrack that fits the vibe, so it could be a good way to get into that spooky spirit.

    The combination of different ways to finish levels gives Birthday of Midnight a fair amount of replayability but I’m now starting to find this all little repetitive without a story to keep me immersed in the world. There are 70 plus levels to complete and this will definitely not hold my attention for that long. This is worth a play if you need a palette cleanser, however if you have GamePass you have many, more engaging choices.
