Beams! by DiegoMustache
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!

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.
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. :/
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!
Awesome job!
I also had trouble moving about. It seems that the arrow keys spin the player, so the WASD keys stop working as they should.
Visuals are great!
