Great sound too, I loved the &quot;ting&quot; of the lights bouncing off each mirror.  I really enjoyed the tension\/chaos once once of the mirror vampires started shining at me. The candle thing added a nice element of replayability. I got 43.\r<br\/>A couple of things you could improve. The controller support wasn't great, I fared better on a keyboard. Also it often felt easier to lure the bad guys into an existing beam than employ my mirror. It would be better if they were only damaged if the light came off a mirror.  Other than that excellent work!"},{"author_name":"Kihira","author_uid":"51134","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 12:22am","epoch":1429575420,"text":"Very cool game.

Visuals are spot on, excellent use of lighting effects and very satisfying to reflect tonnes of beams about the place trying to hit the reflective enemies.  Lots of levels and some good puzzly waves, all in all an impressive quickfire little game.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>My only niggle is playing on controller the aiming seemed really sensitive.

Very beautiful art and levels, and the game runs very smoothly. Would have been nice if the vampires could hurt you if they're in your face, and also that the candle challenge\/bonus was announced before starting the game, not after completing it.

I like the fact that you're also damaged by the light, as if you're the same creature as your enemies.

The game is super polished and well designed. Fast paced too! One possible minor complaint is that there doesn't really seem to be a reason for carrying over the current health of the player to the next level, since there are no lives and such. I personally think it would be better to just reset the life after each level. That's a minor point though, amazing job!"},{"author_name":"SteveSalmond","author_uid":"24965","time":"Apr 24, 2015 @ 10:06am","epoch":1429869660,"text":"So polished! The mirror mechanic is genius.  I think the control scheme could use a little refinement, just so the player is able to control the reflection angle more precisely.
