Good puzzle idea and use of the LD51 theme

Very funky :cyclone: This is a very creative puzzle idea - I like it. :thumbsup:

Yay! Took me a moment to realize how it worked, but eventually I found out and was able to beat the game :joy:
It is a nice and simple entry with some puzzle action in it, and you managed to do the theme very well. It would have been really cool to have more levels, but unfortunately there is limited time in Ludum Dare. Definetely nice to have quick games sometimes :smile:
Nice entry my man!

Cool game, music would have helped, and replaying the whole game became a bit anoying.

Actually pretty good, fun to play and easy to understand, the timer really adds tension to the game.

Cool game, I liked the idea.
Would be nice if you don't have to wait the remaining time after completing a level

Nice puzzles, but waiting for the time to tick when youve taken the shot isnt the most fun

Innovative puzzle game.

Neat puzzles! I know the laser refresh was in adhering to the theme, but I frequently wanted to fire before it was charged. Felt a bit strange to have to wait after I had solved the puzzle.
Also, the game took longer to load than I would have expected, though that might have been the result of the engine.

I really liked it ! It's quite an interesting puzzle game and a good take on the theme. It's to much of a punishment to start over at each attempt, but I guess it would be too easy to be able to try the same puzzle as much as you want. Maybe something in between like a life system would works. Also, I found the blue and black spiral a bit tough on the eyes. Otherwise nice game !

Took me a bit to figure out how exactly the mines interacted with everything, but otherwise it seems like a great idea. Not sure if the 10 second limit helps or hinders here - might have been better if the 10 seconds reset for each level instead of being tied to the laser fire of the last level.

I liked it. Interesting idea for a puzzle. Good job!



I would have loved some way to shoot in any direction.
Thank you for this game, it was a pleasure to play!
