Aim your laser to direct the beam to pass through each target a number times equal to the value on its front. You will need to bounce the beam off the mirrors in order to hit all the targets the correct number of times. You only get one chance on each level before you must move onto the next, so aim carefully.

*Win/Mac ports coming soon

I actually wanted to do something similar! :p
Hey, it would be nice having a trajectory prediction, at least in the first levels!

In such games normallly you make fast tries and corrections. Now you have only one chance so You have make big simulation in your brain before making decision. Cool feature!

Very innovative idea right here. I'm not too good at the game, but with enough time even I can line up a few shots.

Fun game but I don't think the way you utilized the theme worked in your favour. I constantly found myself really wanting another go x_x. Otherwise a good game :)

I really love how you only get one shot per level

There is small bugs: Sometime Laser dont hit the circle, even if it go right through it (for instance the big 6). However, i liked the game.

I love these kinds of games, and although I can see why you'd avoid putting the full path prediction in this game it would be nice to have the initial path before any bouncing get traced simply because it's hard to see where the beam would go based on a mouse cursor (sorry touchscreens, you're even less accurate!).

Overall I had a lot of fun playing. The first time I did decently well, then I did worse, then I did horrendously, then I did better than the first time using what I'd learned from the mistakes! Awesome :)

@grifdail: The beam must go through the target the exact number of times. No more, no less. If you believe it is then could I get a screenshot to help me find the issue.

Neat game - my son loves these kinds of laser alignment games.

Nice, would prefer it if you could keep trying each level until you hit the solution, but I guess that wouldn't fit the theme as well :P

Solid execution, fun to play, not very innovative. I think it would have been better with more attempts, abandoning the theme altogether :)

It's interesting, but you really should have the player restart the same level until they solve it (or at least a button to do so). The point of the game is to solve puzzles, not to get a high score.

This is ridiculously difficult! After 10 attempts I managed to complete one level! Very nice execution. But so, so hard!
