It's just Unreal Engine 4 packaged up straight from the editor. It is a development build though. The release build would crash on start for some reason.

Would have been nice with more levels, I finished it pretty fast. And it was a bit easy.\r<br\/>Some sound and music would have been great.\r<br\/>Were the controls supposed to be diagonal? That was a bit weird, but doesn't really affect my rating."},{"author_name":"DiegoMustache","author_uid":"45014","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 3:05pm","epoch":1418137200,"text":"Thanks! I ran out of time which is why it is so short. I intended to have the levels keep wrapping around the visible area.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>As for the controls, I'm really not sure what causes the diagonal controls.

Very nicely done and easy to understand. Nice progression too. Of course a bit too short for my taste, but who *did* have enough time to make their games, right? ^^"},{"author_name":"TeamClubMate","author_uid":"46153","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 4:17pm","epoch":1418141520,"text":"makes fun!"},{"author_name":"Hunter X","author_uid":"11576","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 9:16pm","epoch":1418159460,"text":"I can confirm that my copy of Avast is no longer giving errors after this update (Windows does notify me that it's an unknown publisher, but that's no issue), so I can now proceed with playing the game!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>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.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>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!"},{"author_name":"DiegoMustache","author_uid":"45014","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 9:25pm","epoch":1418160000,"text":"That totally sounds like it could be the issue. Thanks!

The graphics and animations were not what I expected. I usually see this genre as 2D pixel art. I really like how you used the existing laser emitters in newer levels. I think it would be awesome to have a level which forces you to point the laser into a past level in order to pass.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Awesome job!"},{"author_name":"DiegoMustache","author_uid":"45014","time":"Dec 10, 2014 @ 6:02pm","epoch":1418234220,"text":"Thanks!
