You manipulate beams, prisms, and mirrors in clean, colorful puzzles that feel satisfying and gently challenging.

What players say

Players describe a puzzle game about redirecting colored light that offers over 240 levels and a level editor. The difficulty jumps erratically between puzzles rather than building gradually. A common complaint is the lack of mouse support, requiring keyboard or controller use. Developer responsiveness is praised.
