Core mechanic
Redirect beams with mirrors and prisms to bring light back to every crystal. Redirect beams with mirrors and prisms to bring light back to every crystal. Inspect the whole board before moving, identify the rule that limits each turn and keep enough free space for the next step.
Controls and screen setup
On desktop, follow the opening prompt for keyboard or mouse controls. On mobile, rotate to landscape and use the on-screen buttons or touch area.
How a run ends
The run usually fails when a move creates isolated gaps or removes the free space needed to rearrange later pieces.
Opening plan
Spend the first turns reading the full board, identify the non-reversible move and preserve at least one flexible route.
Common mistake
Do not solve only the most obvious local match; check what that move leaves behind for the following turn. Work backward from the goal and avoid moves that create isolated spaces.
