    The gameplay is characterized by a variety of interesting and challenging mechanics that are gradually introduced, making it accessible yet engaging. While the mechanics are based on real optical principles, some players find certain elements more enjoyable than others, leading to mixed feelings about specific puzzles. Although the gameplay can become repetitive for casual gamers, the introduction of new components helps maintain interest and challenge throughout the experience.

    • “There are a lot of different, interesting, and challenging mechanics that are gradually introduced, making it simple enough to learn.”
    • “It's a really neat puzzler that challenges you with all kinds of different mechanics that revolve around lasers (and who doesn't like lasers).”
    • “While I haven't played that far, I know from seeing the game's later stages at various game shows that it includes a nice range of interesting mechanics that will tickle your brain.”
    • “For some reason, although all of the mechanics are based on equally real optic principles, my brain likes some of the mechanics much more than the others.”
    • “If you are more of a casual gamer, you might lose interest within the first 30-40 levels as the general gameplay is very repetitive; however, they spice it up by adding new game components into the mix and making things more challenging.”
    • “There are some mechanics that you think you understand initially but then later get put into a situation that defies your expectation, which is always nice.”
