About Mirrors and Rays
Mirrors and Rays is a wonderfully meditative puzzle game built around a single elegant mechanic: rotating mirrors to guide a laser beam to its target. Each level presents a darkened grid scattered with mirrors at various angles, and your task is to rotate them until the light travels the intended path and illuminates every required point. The puzzles start simple enough to learn the logic quickly but build into genuinely intricate routing challenges that reward careful spatial thinking. There is no timer and no penalty for experimenting, which creates a calm, zen-like atmosphere rarely found in puzzle games. Each solved level delivers a quiet but distinct sense of satisfaction.
How to Play
Click or tap a mirror to rotate it and change the direction the laser beam reflects. The beam fires automatically from the source — your job is to angle the mirrors so the ray reaches all lit targets on the board. You can rotate mirrors as many times as needed, so experiment freely until the path clicks into place.
Tips & Tricks for Mirrors and Rays
- Work backward from the target to the light source when a level feels confusing — tracing the required path in reverse often reveals which mirrors need adjusting first.
- Rotate every mirror to its four possible positions at the start of a tricky level to understand what angles are available before committing to a solution.
- Watch for mirrors that can serve double duty by reflecting the beam toward two separate targets from a single position — these are often the key to elegant solutions.
