I love this SO much that when i first played it, i immediately started getting ideas and urges to make it better! It's fun, creative, especially the crosshairs on the lasers make it very easy to adjust the aiming. It instantly reminds me of games like Cosmoteer and I think it would become an amazing game if it gets an aimable laser prism inspired by that game. The screenshots are just begging for some complex laser action!

Thank you for the kind words! It certainly needs bigger lasers, I'm gonna try make a update tomorrow with one new laser type along with some extra VFX/SFX.

Thank you! I use raycasts to determine the length, then a Line2D node for rendering the beam. By setting the scaling mode (in project settings) to viewport and using a low resultion the beam gets pixelated automatically!
For the adaptive terrain I used tilemaps with the autotilling/terrain system. Creating the art for the tileset can take a lot of time but I've made my own tool for speeding up that process significally.
But in short, the things you're asking about are all more or less built into Godot.

Thank you! Quite a few people have told me about having difficulty finding out that you can redirect the lasers, I will make some kind of tutorial animation on them in an update. Also the reason for picking a Badger is that I'm terrible at drawing humans.

Thank you! I felt like it would be highly unrealistic and feel unresponsive if the laser couldn't damage other lasers and the player, so I added it. And considering there is a lot of stone left even after 1000 tiles I knew some people would want to continue playing. At the moment of writing this, a friend is playing the game and is trying to clear out the entire game area. He is at 5500 tiles out of around 6000 and has played for 45 minutes.
