Mirror Mirror by Kevlanche

[raw]
made by Kevlanche for LD32 (JAM)
Mirror Mirror is a puzzle game where you hunt ghosts using mirrors.

Position your mirrors and activate the gemstones. Beams that destroy ghosts on impact will fire out from the gemstones. Use the mirrors to guide the beams where you want them to go. You have to be quick and clever to do this without being caught by the ghosts. Can you beat all 16 levels?

Controls:
WASD or arrow keys to move
R to restart the current level
Q to go to the menu
Mouse to place/rotate mirrors and to activate gemstones
1/2 to switch between different mirror types

Impressive content for a jam game. It's fun to play and the riddles are clever. Implementation is really smooth.

Actually really enjoyed it!

Really cool, I enjoyed the puzzle aspect! Some of the best audio I've heard yet.

Wow, I can't believe that was made in less than three days. The lighting effect is what makes this game so enjoyable, and I like the introduction of new mechanics. Nicely done :D

Great stuff!
Fun puzzles and a bit of action :)
My only complaint would be that I think the controls would have been simpler if they were keyboard only, using the mouse felt a bit awkward at times.
However, apart from that (minor) issue, the game was very well polished and I enjoyed both the graphics and the sound.
A solid game, well done!

Great game! Nice mix of stealth and puzzle game, the levels are well designed and challenging at the end.
(It took me some time to figure I could rotate the light spreaders)

The background music is really really awesome. Gameplay is well done and you can clearly see the increasing puzzle difficulty. Graphics are not excellent but they fit well in the game. The fact that you added 2 kind of puzzles (placing the mirrors while also having to move through the labyrinths without being seen by the ghosts) is interesting but not very sure is a good design mechanic. I can see 2 very good integrated into one :D. Definitely great entry nonetheless.

Well designed, would have prefered a simpler puzzle without the player character, but I did enjoy the mirror mechanic, and the lighting. Well done.

Pretty good entry with some nice puzzle design that requires you to think. I have to say that I found the static ghost puzzle much more enjoyable than the moving ones. Sound and presentation was also quite fitting.

Really solid entry! Love the use of light & mirrors for your weapon, great take on the theme. Puzzles are fun but not terribly difficult. Restarting is snappy and lets you get right back into the action. Well done!

I like how the puzzles are multi-layered, needing to figure out both how to move safely and how to place mirrors. Great job!

I don't even know where to begin! Everything seems to be done just about perfectly. Good job on this one mate! -Weloxux

Interesting puzzle. But I can't beat all 16 levels. Sometimes it's really hard.

Amazing idea!

A really nice puzzle piece, with has been somewhat rare for this LD32!

Just on thing, I don't really think that moving the character should be necessary to rotate the mirrors, I think that it would be better to do that without walking, and just clicking!

really nice entry!

Nice music and smooth controls! It would be nice to have a pick up mirror btn, and a rotate mirror other direction btn. I felt on the level with a ton of mirrors that I knew the solution instantly, and I couldn't turn the mirrors as fast as I would have liked, b/c I couldn't choose the direction. I felt that the gemstones and Boo looking ghosts didn't thematically fit together, it seemed like random elements. The being said, I still really enjoyed myself!

Amazing game! that last level though, took me forever to beat it, but "all the ghosts have been wiped out and order has been restored to the land." outstanding game!
