The song makes me want to cry... Especially at the end... Nice job, though theoretically the reply should have taken another 27 light years... Which was why I wanted to cry...
This is a great game, you could extend more of it as a full-out game, since this one was limited to 48 hours. I was stuck on 4-1, and lost 3 bar signals there, then figured it out. That's the only level I lost any bars at all... =)

Nice little game with good puzzles, they could have been a bit harder, but nice nonetheless.

The game has a nice feel to it, especially the music and sound. Played through the whole thing. It was always straightforward to me what to do to get the beam to the end, though not always easy to execute. Unfortunately that was usually because the controls were too coarse to rotate the mirrors correctly. I also think there are some bugs with the physics. The beam should never "jump" during a sweep, except at the corners, right?

Wow, I loved this game! Awesome music, great puzzles, good graphics, and pretty innovative. The controls can be a little too rough at times, and it doesn't use the theme exceptionally well. Still, possibly one of the best entries I've played!

I really liked the music and enjoyed playing the game, but the control of the rotation needs some more work.

Not bad, but the whole game could've been more lively. The background should move or something, and there should be more glow effects or animations.

Also, it could've been a little smoother, but puzzles were a little challenging, even if there was little reward after them. Maybe there should be upgrades or something? I don't know, I'm getting ahead of myself! :P
