Minelight

The story

The dwarves need a more ecofriendly way to light their mine, so they built something to channel just enough sunlight into their deepest tunnels. Unfortunately they are not very good at reading construction plans, and now they need your help to put mirrors and change the orientation of each level so that the light reaches the bottom end.

Instructions

• The goal is to bring the light down to the lowest level.
• You are inside a square hole in the ground, and can only see one wall of it at a time.
• There are six levels numbered from 1 to 6. You can only see two levels at a time, but can go up or down to see the others. Each level can be rotated independently from the others.
• The light comes from above the first level, and light pipes becomes bright yellow when light is passing through them. Click on a junction tile to place, rotate, or remove a mirror, in order to bounce light a different way
• Press the W or S key to select the upper or lower level. Press again to scroll one level upper or lower
• Press the A or D key to rotate the selected level, in order to line its lightpipes to those of the level above and under
• Press the Q or E key to turn around, to look to the wall on your left or your right. Since the hole is square, turning four times in a direction brings you back to the same wall.
