Award-Winning Design



Micron began as a game created for Kongregate's 'Project Eden: Experience the Music' game contest, in which it won 2nd place. The judges included Tetsuya Mizuguchi, creator of REZ and LUMINES, and representatives from Ubisoft, Gamespot, and Kongregate.

“Classic visual like the Famicon but experiencing the process of sound effects evolving into the music felt really good. The harder the game, the more exciting the music gets — this was blended perfectly.” — Tetsuya Mizuguchi

Game feels like a decent puzzler. Only thing it needs is an undo button so I do not reset all my progress.

Micron is an inventive puzzle experience that proves simple ideas can become remarkably engaging when paired with clever execution. Developed and published by Apparition Games, the title combines logical problem-solving with interactive music creation, resulting in a game that feels both relaxing and mentally stimulating. Instead of relying on traditional puzzle mechanics alone, it encourages players to manipulate streams of energy across intricate grids while every successful action contributes to an evolving soundtrack. The result is a unique blend of strategy and rhythm that gives each completed level a satisfying audiovisual payoff. The gameplay centers on directing pulses of light toward designated goals using a variety of tools that alter their paths. Mirrors, splitters, and other components gradually become available, expanding the number of possible solutions and increasing the complexity of each challenge. Although the basic mechanics are easy to understand, later stages demand careful planning, experimentation, and efficient placement of every object. Rather than overwhelming players with difficulty from the start, Micron steadily introduces new concepts, creating a lear…
