I did it! It seems that each face of the prism is somewhat different. In my previous attempts, I was too focused on using all the props on the field XD
Congratz! Yeah, prism faces aren’t equilateral so that’s why the light gets deflected at different angles :). We plan to make them equilateral for the sake of users though
The game and puzzles are fun, but I don't like the controls. The resolution of the rotation is, in my opinion, too low. Some times, one notch of rotation can put the light above or below the target, with no step in-between
Thanks for the feedback! You're right about the controls, that's currently what I'm trying to fix. I'm experimenting with: - smaller rotation increments (1-2 degrees vs current 2 degrees) - mouse wheel support for finer control - holding shift for precision mode Which approach sounds most appealing, or do you have other ideas?
Those sound like good Ideas. I'd suggest going to .1° of precision. I have no reason for that, just feels right.
I'd suggest making the objects "selectable". When you click on them, they stay selected until you click elsewhere, so you don't have to hold the mouse button. When doing that, you could show a text field with the current rotation and an up- and down arrow to increase or decrease by the .1 degree. Alternatively, you could make it so the user can enter a number manually.
Using the shift key for higher precision is a good idea. You could make it so the normal rotation is 1°, then hold shift to do .1°.
Yeah, going with a selectable slot without keeping the left mouse button pressed seems the way to go. I will try to give the user more precision by letting him inserting an angle manually while maintaining the "old" mouse way with a 1° plus shift. Thank you very much for the suggestions, stay tuned for the update

Where are the answers to these levels？ I'm stuck at level11 qwq
Thank you for playing the game! Level 11 is the last one and the difficulty increased by a lot.. I can provide some suggestions if you want
Looks like one of the prisms needs to be used twice? But I can't find where it should be
This initial configuration take you to a solution at least. The level infact has 3 solutions and maybe more. Press on the line to display the hint :)
