PSA: As of Chrome 42 (Released April 14th), NPAPI plugins are disabled by default! That means Unity Player, Java, and Silverlight games will not work in the Chrome browser! That said, Flash in the Chrome browser continues to work fine (PPAPI).
To Developers: Consider using HTML5 and WebGL instead. Having troubles with the export? Don’t worry. See Ports below.
To Players: A workaround is to enable NPAPI plugins in your Chrome settings. Click or Copy+Paste this URL in to a tab:
As of September 2015 however, this option will no longer be available.
Other browsers (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari) and Flash are unaffected, but FWIW there is no Unity Player or Silverlight for Linux.X
Use WASD or arrow keys to move.
Aim mirror shield with mouse.
Survive as long as you can.
I added sound and music, but did not create those assets.
Play the version with sound on itch.io.

I had problems starting the game (1st link) with Firefox (crashed multiple times). As it worked, I made it to multiple waves, I think, up to 150 seconds of surviving. Interesting concept! I could imagine it as a kind of learning game to teach how reflection works. You could also play with the idea of different surfaces.
(I answered on your question on my game's page)
Was a cool idea, needs some work with communicating what is going on to the player, and some variety of enemies would have been cool too. (Maybe i just didnt make it that far, was a bit hard to line up your shots before there were just too many enemies)
Really cool concept!! It was a bit too challenging for me though, since waves seemed to come whether or not I had cleared the last wave. I would love to see this mechanic in a more complete game. Could be really fun with powerups and different kinds of enemies. Nice work!
The sound tends to get a little monotonous after some waves but I like it how the lasers are reflected. Nice idea. Because all enemies are rotating towards you it would be nice to have more environment or moving enemies to better target them with their own lasers :)
I agree that more powers and enemies would be cool. I spent a lot of Saturday just getting the raycast laser bouncing loop working. I'm happy with what I learned and I hope some people out there enjoy the game.
Thanks for the feedback, everyone.
I don't like graphics much but the idea is great! Really nice execution and quite playable game. Great job :)
Excellent concept (I don't think I've ever seen the laser mirror mechanic used in a twin stickesque battle arena).
It would have been nice to see some kind of graphical indication that the enemy turrets were suffering damage. I also was a little overwhelmed by the pacing. I think slowing that down a bit would help the player get into the flow of the game. Nice work and very ambitious idea.
Love this concept. I think it could be expanded into a really cool strategy/puzzle game.
Really nice concept. Very fun. maybe you a bit to much hp: I got to around 150 seconds without getting the concept for the first few waves and like this not being able to play very tacticle by just running around dodging lasers.
pretty nice concept, but i feel like it couldve been done better.
Pretty cool, I like the idea of this game and the gameplay was quite smooth. It lacked feedback though (hitting an enemy, no effects etc) and was quite harsh for a beginning player (my game is too though :P)
Good idea but needs to be finished up. I hope I will see full game soon!

Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
I get the concept, except not much output was given such as maybe at least an indication that my enemy is getting attacked by the laser, or destroyed.
