My review to Mini Tone

I recommended exclusively to people who love physics games with lots of trial and error, with the interface as a bonus obstacle. Trail and error there is a lot in this game, for me is too much!
The levels quickly devolve into constant retries because it is really hard to exactly reproduce the previous attempt and then adjust it minimally to reach a working solution. I think with a better level design and better mechanics this game would have more potential!

I do not recommend this game!

Very nice game! It seems too easy for the first 8-10 levels, but then it gets really challenging and interesting. It has a nice combination of solving the puzzle itself with actually being able to implement the solution (you need to have good aim to through the ball and space awareness to find the correct launch point). Hope the developer keep producing new levels, I'd totally pay for more.

The game starts very easy in a way that's good to learn the mechanism, but it gets very hard as you play. It's very challenging because you need to try different spots in each level and take cara of the angle to conclude the level!

Great relaxation game that's harder than it looks, specially after level 15!
Getting the angle right in some levels it's really tricky and it's driving me crazy! Worthy every single penny.

A minimalist game with an attractive look and a musical touch that greatly adds to the experience of exercising your logic to complete your challenging levels. With a price more than fair for the great moments of fun it provides, I highly recommend the purchase.

Simple and challenging puzzles that inspire out-of-the-box thinking, It has a pretty cool customization of the color theme and the tones are soft and pleasant to the ears.
Completely worth it!

Very good puzzle game, the only big barrier was lvl 10, but after that the learning curve was pretty intuitive.

The minimalist elements were refreshing and suited the game style.

10/10 recommended, specially with that price.

This game is FREAKING AWESOME!
Absolutely sticky, made for those who enjoy a good challenge!
The tones keep you calm even if the levels are driving you crazy!
Great choice for both relaxing and do some brain work at the same time!
Very well balanced!

A very nice minimalist puzzle. The challenge is intuitive and very well balanced and the sound effect is a plus, very well crafted. It is worth a lot.

It has simple mechanics and a growing challenge with a well developed environment. I spent some pleasant hours and in some very challenging moments, it was this healing feeling my journey, well done! I hope to see more levels and more challenges and of course more achievements.

Thought this was a puzzle game. Instead it's pure RNG. I can't see any strategy behind the levels. Angle, speed and timing seems pure luck.

Fun game that is hard but entertaining. Type of game that you think you will play for 10 minutes and then wonder how 45 minutes went by. Hint system is helpful but does not hold your hand. Great game at a great price,

This game is lovely, has no timer and no enemies. I choose a position while shielding the notes.

I enjoy puzzle games but this one was not very enjoyable to me. Trial and error plays a huge role, so you end up shooting the ball until you finally get it or enough hints reveal. The achievements reference great works of music but the tones made from each level never amount to much. I think a lot of this could be fixed with better level design--the mechanics do have potential.

Your friend Jeremy is always trying to come up with ways to cheat at every game you two play together, but you keep letting him get away with it. Why? Because he crashes and burns every time. His most recent master plan was trying to play billiards with a golfball and a slingshot. As the sack of shit struggles to hit even one ball, it hits you: “If you put this in the hands of a competent person, it could almost be a legitimate game!” And what would that game be called? I don’t know, but there are some elements similar to Mini Tone.

The Good:

    • Get thrown into the game with no explanation. You’re on your own, so get to figuring things out.
    • You can customize the color of both halves of the background and the board you play on.
    • I’m all about physics-based puzzles.
    • The game occasionally throws new gimmicks at you, such as guitar strings that the ball travels through instead of bouncing off of. All it takes is a bit of experimenting to understand them.
    • It’s only $1.

The Neutral:

    • Total of 70 levels.
    • If you do use the hint system, it gives three hints that relate to where to position the ball and what angle to shoot it at.

Pro Tips:

    • If you’re doing something and it seems like it should work but doesn’t, maybe you’re doing it backwards.
    • A slight position change can make all the difference in the world.

The game is only a dollar, so it’s not really that big of a gamble. To me, there were no real negatives and it was fun, so there really isn’t much to lose

A minimalist puzzle game that comes with a really interesting proposal, mixing musical sounds with refraction of objects. When you complete a level, a melody is played and this is an amazing surprise addition, making the whole experience very satisfying! Recommended!

This game is a copy of a mobile game called o k a y? (its a really good game and you should play it and his other game too) but since that game isnt on PC i guess this is the best we have 60/100

Nice puzzle game with a cool exploration of sound interaction.
Good progression of challenges with new mechanics presented in a very good pacing.
It was hard to stop playing: can't wait for next playing session!
P.S: Don't get fooled by first levels, if they looked like too easy for you: it really gets harder and harder...

Mini Tone is an ambitious but ultimately incredibly flawed puzzle game.

All levels take on the same basic challenge: Shoot a ball so that it ricochets off all white objects and end off in the end circle. As you progress through, more mechanics are adding on top, such as white lines that must be passed through instead of ricocheted off of, or black objects that don't disappear when hit. On that mechanical level it's a very solid game, but it falls apart on everything else.

Almost every level ends up becoming a game of trial and error. Even if you know what angle and position you need to fire from, the lack of any ability to fine tune either aspect means you could be spending dozens of tries doing your best to adjust your shots so they go down the optimal path, especially on levels that require a non-cardinal/diagonal angle.

Which just leaves the sound design, which is, to be perfectly honest, atrocious. None of the sound effects sound nice, especially not the level complete sparkling sound effect. The game tries to pull off it's notes rising in an octave (so the first note = do, second = re, third = mi, etc. etc.) but it does not sound good rising up and loops pretty badly, especially noticeable in some levels where your ball is constantly travelling through strum lines. This is the biggest mark against the game considering it's meant to be a music puzzler.

Wasn't my favorite... Some of the levels were complete luck from getting through it. But in the end I completed the game

It is a fun little game, very relaxing, the puzzles are not very hard, though some require timing. I bought it on super discount so I'd say it was definitely worth the money I payed. It's 70 levels but some are very easy, others are more tricky but I finished it in about 2 hours, so that's how much you get for less than an euro. :)

honestly this game is really hard, maybe i'm just stupid but this game seems like just a trial and error simulator half the time. it's good for its price though any higher and it probably wouldn't be worth it

Some levels are fun, but a lot of them are just dumb luck by getting the timing right the 500th time

I really wanted to like this, but it became evident by around level 6 that this was basically just trial and error simulator and not a puzzle game. Figuring out puzzles, is fun. Repeating the same action in slightly different spots over and over and over again, is not fun.
