Lasers and mirrors puzzle game built in Unreal Engine 4! Move with WASD, and press F or Space to rotate mirrors and lasers. Also works with a game pad.
This was a solo 48 hour project I wanted to submit for compo, but the website was not working for me.
Update: Fixed issue with Avast flagging the file.
Note: There is a bug with the arrow keys. Please use WASD instead. Thanks to HunterX for pointing this out!
I'm interested in trying this game, but Avast is throwing a warning about Win64:Evo-gen when I try to extract it (though scanning the .zip itself gives no errors). Can anyone cross-reference this on their machine and confirm whether or not this is a false-positive?
That's weird and unfortunate. It's just Unreal Engine 4 packaged up straight from the editor. It is a development build though. The release build would crash on start for some reason. I wonder what I can do about that.
Very good! Would have been nice with more levels, I finished it pretty fast. And it was a bit easy. Some sound and music would have been great. Were the controls supposed to be diagonal? That was a bit weird, but doesn't really affect my rating.
I also has some problem with the arrows, but WASD worked fine for me. Very nicely done and easy to understand. Nice progression too. Of course a bit too short for my taste, but who *did* have enough time to make their games, right? ^^
I can confirm that my copy of Avast is no longer giving errors after this update (Windows does notify me that it's an unknown publisher, but that's no issue), so I can now proceed with playing the game!
While it's not the first laser/mirrors puzzle game I've played, it's nonetheless very well executed. The graphics are very nice - I especially enjoyed the animation for the new levels being revealed. It did feel a bit short but that's understandable given the time constraints, and I'm interested to see how this framework could be taken further given additional time.
Also, I can contribute somewhat towards diagnosing the control issue; from my end it seems that WASD and the up/down arrow keys are fine, but the left and right arrow keys seem to be rotating the player rather than moving it - if you tap either key and then try to move around the player moves relative to that rotation, resulting in the diagonal movement. Hope this helps!
I love the level transitions. It fits the theme very nicely. The graphics and animations were not what I expected. I usually see this genre as 2D pixel art. I really like how you used the existing laser emitters in newer levels. I think it would be awesome to have a level which forces you to point the laser into a past level in order to pass.
Visually gorgeous while still keeping it simple and clean, really nice! The last rooms where actually quite challenging, though I would have liked it if there where more elements to the mechanics. I had the same control problems as some others which of course made the gameplay quite tedious.
Nice game! Couldn't figure out the last puzzle, though. I also had trouble moving about. It seems that the arrow keys spin the player, so the WASD keys stop working as they should.

As for the controls, I'm really not sure what causes the diagonal controls. I have not been able to consistently reproduce that issue.
32/64bits issue i guess. tried the 64b exe inside the folders, same problem. :/

Awesome job!

Visuals are great!
