Laser Town by Hectigo

[raw]
made by Hectigo for LD35 (JAM)
Laser-powered propulsion will enable you to lift whole towns into orbit. With the magic of lasers, everything is possible! As long as you adjust the town a bit to get the laser to the right place.

Olli Etuaho - design, code, effects

The post-compo version includes slightly tweaked input handling code to make moving the towers more natural and adds touch event support.

Pretty cool puzzle game! At first I was wondering what you could do with just one laser, but you managed to make it pretty challenging. Good work!

Very polished, and runs with perfect performance. I wish the mirrors had a really shiny shader, but otherwise the art was perfect. A very impressive game! Nice work!

Beautiful game, outstanding graphics considering the available time. The puzzles are a bit off-putting, it feels more like I'm just bashing all the buttons randomly until things fall into place. I think it would have been neat to have a peaceable block or two and less built-in pieces.
Regardless, the game is pretty and fun.

Nice graphics, the "towers" movements were nice to watch, and music complements well. The variety in the options to move the lights around feels nice.

I like the idea of different layers. Its really nice and it make the game more fun to play and more complicated

Congratulations, great game, sometimes a little hard to get the right vertical place for the towers. Anyway I loved it. Thanks!

Very challenging, excellent design!

It can get a little hard to read what piece is doing what but otherwise the game looks lovely and sounds the part too.

Champion!

Wow, fantastic game. A great take on the classic laser routing puzzles. The added depth makes it so interesting. Also, very well polished - hardly feels like a game jam game.

Really fun & challenging. But I found it difficult to make the towers only go up one

Awesome game! lot of reflexion and lisible. The music may seems simple but is really in accordance with the theme. Really good job !

Good job team!
Have to also say that the reflection on the ground is annoying

i really like the idea. didn't solve the 3rd level because it took too long for me, i need faster feeling of success. graphics could be cleaner.

Wow quite challenging puzzle game. At first I thought hmm pretty easy, but with increasing level count it suddenly became harder. :) I just had sometimes some trouble with rotating the camera.

All in all well done and well polished.

Ejoyable puzzle game. Maybe the mouse controls when you move the pieces up/down are a little oversensitive, but that's a minor nitpick. Looks good, it starts easy but soon it's not. Well done!

Lovely puzzles, but pretty hard :) would have loved a few more simple levels before having to bounce it all over the place across multiple levels on a Sunday morning - A reset button would have been nice ;)

Nice tech though, worked flawlessly.

Very polished looking game for a jam! And I give lots of extra bonus points for using three.js! Opensource and html5 ftw!

Well that escalated quickly! Solving the puzzles in 3d was pretty fun, and the one with the underground solution was especially pleasing.

The execution is solid. I've had to think of what i was missing or what i would add for some while. What i'd add would be zoom and panning! I couldn't find any way to achieve that, and in some arrangements that would be useful.

It's also worth a bit of awe how all of this seems to work on pure html5 - most 3d "web" games just use unity player.

Really fun game! One thing to make it a little easier to see is to turn the title banner on the side of the panel transparent. When you move around the puzzle you can't see from the one side.

for me it was a little hard to only move the towers up or down 1 level sometimes, but other than that it was a great game!

Laser puzzles are awesome! Lots of good polish. My only grip is that the vertical snapping of the "towers" was sometimes a little finicky depending on the camera angle.

Really great entry! nice work!
