Mirror Maze gives you a beam of light, a target, and a scattering of mirrors between them. Tap a mirror to rotate it and change where the beam bounces. Line up the whole path and the light reaches its destination.
What makes it satisfying is that the puzzle solves itself visually. You do not have to calculate anything, only look: the beam shows you exactly where it currently goes, so every rotation gives immediate feedback. It is a puzzle you solve by watching rather than by reasoning in the abstract.
Work from the source outward. Fix the first mirror the beam touches before worrying about the ones further along, because rotating an early mirror changes everything downstream and undoes your later work.
Watch where the beam currently goes rather than where you want it. The visible path tells you exactly which mirror is sending it astray, and that is the one to adjust.
Count your rotations. The score rewards efficiency, so working out the correct orientation before tapping beats spinning a mirror through every position to see what happens.
Look for mirrors the beam never reaches. If a mirror is not on the path at all, rotating it does nothing, and beginners waste a lot of moves adjusting mirrors that are irrelevant to the current route.
By rotating the mirrors it strikes. Each one deflects the light in a new direction.
By the number of rotations used, so planning ahead pays off.
Probably because you rotated a mirror early in the path, which changes everything after it.
No, only the rotation count, so you can take as long as you like.
No. Mirror Maze runs entirely inside this page, so it starts the moment the page opens. There is nothing to download, no plugin, and no account to create.
