Best game 10/10 would play 100 times again. level change animation is beautiful!

I finished all the levels, yay! Great job on this. I feel like you have the foundation to a very good puzzle game here, but I feel you need just one more thing to get it there. The solutions were a bit too obvious. There needs to be a few more... "if I do this then this then this... nope, okay what about this.. but if i do that.. then oh, yeah.. I got it!"... moments.

Forgot to mention, kudos for using MonoGame. I'm also a fan! I'd be interesting in seeing the level editor. May be worth adding it to the distro (I didn't see it there if it was). Cheers!

Thank you very much :) It was a long weekend, but I think I couldn't have expected a better result.

I agree about puzzles being too easy to solve. That's definitely something I'd fix if I continue the game. And as for the editor, I agree as well. If I continue, I'll flesh out the editor to fix bugs and make it more intuitive and pretty, and at that point, I'd certainly release it. As it currently stands, the editor was essentially built quickly for my own use, so it wasn't in an adequate state to be accessible to others. For the time being, the editor code should be available through the BitBucket link in the Editor class if you're curious.

Thank you for playing!

Is it just me or is the laser super hard to control? :S

I had actually added a bit of acceleration to mirror rotations to give better control. If I continue, I'm sure I'll tweak everything until it feels better.

Beat the game in 3min 12s. Mirror spinning feels a bit floaty. Found some speed strats. over all a fine product, my good sir.

Yay! Platformer puzzles ^^
A shame there's no sound or music, but that level transitioning is just utterly beautiful. Very well done =)

Unfortunately the game crashes for me every single time I try to finish that first level where you have to pass the laser, so I don't know what mechanics you would have shown after that =(
Would be super cool though if there were levels that used the level transitioning as part of the puzzle though.

Thank you hamsternator! I know there's a laser bug in the final level, but I haven't seen one in the first laser level. I'm sorry about that. I'll be re-examining all the puzzle mechanics going forward to see what sticks.
