Saturday August 26, 2006 | Laser, Prism and Mirror Game | Entertainment |
Someone in China (Hawkpeng79) created a pretty cool puzzle game. Arrange the mirrors and prisms to redirect colored lasers to colored targets. To quote the Google-translated page, "How strong is your logic?"
Oh yeah, there is also a sequel.
UPDATE: This is apparently a game called "Chromatron" from silverspaceship.com. It's actually called "Chromatron 1", as there are "2," "3" and "4" now. Chromatron is a MAC/PC game and not the flash version we've been playing, but the puzzles are identical. I'm not sure which one came first.
UPDATE: Thanks to Ali "Ryan" Sahib for #25B.
Stuck? Here are my answers, but it's much more satisfying to get them yourself.
I've started the sequel (25 - 50). I will post the answers as I get them. Thanks to Dave Tong for some hints and some alternate solutions. It took both of us to solve #32.

i was looking through your puzzles and i see that on puzzle 35 there is no possible solution due to the fact that there are "barrels" at the top where the "multis" are placed

Not sure what you mean. I added another solution to #35 that I found online that is more elegant.
hey i came up with a different solution for level 25, that doesn't actually use the red laser! email me if interested to see it :)

This is probably already known, but i belive the original game is called aargon.

I used your solution for #12, because I had just looked at it too long! When I hit #16, I did it fairly quickly, but didn't even use 5 of the mirrors!I checked your solution, and it uses them all, which pleased me because I think mine is more simple and elegant. Email if you'd like it! :0)

I found a different, even more elegant solution for #25.
