Let's trade feedback! I submitted a project too.

  • Mechanics: Super refined! You polished this really well. Puzzles are not easy to build I like how far you stretched such simple laser-bouncing features. This has potential to be on iPad or large phones, easily. 
  • Art Style: It's clean and clear art style. You went with simple futuristic blue and metallic colorings. I think there's potential to add a variety of lasers and light-bending shapes though. You have many levels; I did hope for a variable laser type. You have flexibility to vary the art since the mechanics are well-done.
  • Audio: The audio is cohesive, not too jarring on the music or SFX side. You could vary the laser sounds though so laser bounce or laser firing or laser stopping have a list to pool from so it sounds unique every time. Many shooter games do this, where it's many Bullet-fired sound effect so the gun sounds different on every bullet to keep players engaged. Halo has a Soft-fire, Loud-fire, Continuous Fire and Fire-last bullet sort of sound lists.
  • Recommendations: Add different laser types and colors. Laser types you can equip or switch between after unlocking them. Maybe some levels you have to bend a laser than can break through walls. Or some levels there's a laser that can bend through water. Or a laser that can bend along a curve when near a magnet. There's a-lot of potential here. I'd also experiment with a greater variety of mirror types. For example, a Prism mirror that splits a laser into different colors or a Prism that splits a laser into different directions.

Wonderful visuals, especially the menu, I like the sound effects of the laser beam also. Great job!

I really like this, it’s a lot of fun to play with and could absolutely see myself playing through a game like this one start to finish - with that said, though, I hit a bit of a brick wall where one of the levels had a T-Splitter that simply reflected it like an angle piece. As far as I could tell, it made that particular level unsolvable. Amazing job, though!

Cool game, use spacebar to fire and r to reset the laser

I really like this kind of puzzle game. Trying to beat the most of stages I can. It took me a while to figure out the space key triggers the laser, I believe it's missing in the page instructions.

Really interesting game idea game, feels very satisfying to complete levels! Had a bit of trouble working out how to make the laser fire but once I managed that it was quite fun!

This was fun and well polished!

The shader usage is very appealing but i’m not sure if this is covered with the jam’s rules. Otherwise, this is fairly impressive for just two days :)

The main menu itself the presentation and flair was very impressive and everything looks perfect.

I do not know how to start the laser though, pressing R doesn't seem to do anything, are there other controls or maybe the web build has bug? let me know if I missed something

Click doesn't always register when trying to rotate, there seem to be lot of missed clicks

Wow, lots to say but Congrats, Solid game, can’t believe how much someone can crunch in 48 hours hahahaha. Keep it up! I’d love to see some more lvls

Looks good!
