I think you did a very good job on the gameplay. Level design was on the spot, though it would probably be better if you made a few easier levels so the player can learn first. The aesthetic is a bit lacking, but this is kind of a regular thing on LD compo hehe
Congrats!
I was a bit confused with the movement because I always wanted to face the mirror I wanted to rotate and ended up moving it because the character doesn't just turn on the first press of a direction, it immediately moves.
There are definitely some rough bits (the lasers don't track mirrors as they move, you start back at level 1 if you die), but my main complaint is there are no more mechanics and too few levels. Where's the rest of the game?
XD
The level design is nice, graphics and audio too!
I enjoyed playing it!!
Good job!
