Interesting puzzle game. I’m glad I found a comment saying I could realign the camera by holding C. My beam didn’t really hit the goal that well sometimes. Good job on the game.

Thanks for playing!

Great idea and use of the theme. The level transitions are tricky though: for example, at the end of level 1, my beam touched the target but did not extend enough into the 2nd level that I could have a chance to win. Fortunately the last mirror was still selected even though it was off screen, so I managed to fix this. But I inadvertently led a mirror of the 2nd level off screen and there was no way for me to recover it once I selected another one. If this was addressed the game would be an amazing experience.

Nice work on the audio, adds to the atmosphere.

thanks for playing. It's hold C for previous camera to realign the previous mirrors, that may help? Indeed though if you lose one off screen it is lost, - maybe I could allow some leeway to push the camera outwards with the mouse, or indeed just colliders at the screen's edge. Thanks again and thanks for the feedback

Nice puzzle game. I really liked how you jump from one level to the other, by having one huge area where you go through. The controls feel a bit cluncky I think I would have preferred more mouse controls (e.g. moving the mirrors with the mouse). Not sure if it works. I really did not like the disturbing eye picture you have everywhere :), please remove it :D.

Thanks for playing and for your feedback! I am actually now regretting not just using a drag and drop system with RMB and LMB as controls, would feel a lot smoother to play. As for the eye, haha. Just figured it was a notable way to start and end :) Thanks again!

Played this on stream. Check out the vod here for my thoughts. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1002765258?t=01h38m34s

Thanks for streaming and for the feedback! You could indeed hold C to go back 1 camera and realign the previous mirrors. As for your feedback about the health system, I think I agree, maybe resetting the health bar as soon as you get away from one of the death blocks would be better. Thanks again!
