You are stuck in a tower of loops, you use mirrors and a laser to reflect the laser on the two of the loops present in the room at the same time to destroy them and make your way. You can only use 5 mirrors at the same time.
Controls:- WASD or Arrow keys to move. Left click to shoot laser. Right click to place mirror facing the mouse arrow. Press E while touching the mirror to remove it.
Credits:- Game by Matin. Reflect code by Rilin.
Summary
Destroy The Loop presents an interesting mirror-based puzzle mechanic that players generally enjoyed. However, many found the controls and mirror placement unintuitive and challenging, with unclear instructions adding to the difficulty. Suggestions for improvement include clearer controls, a reset level option, and more precise mirror placement mechanics. Despite these issues, the game's core idea and puzzle consistency were appreciated.

The way things worked weren't that intuitive and I feel like the idea could have gone way further than that, but that's a really good entry!
Once you learn how mirrors work, the rules were consistent and puzzles felt pretty good. It's a shame the game isn't more polished!
I think one thing that could help a lot is reducing the possibility of placement, and having the mirror exist for only 8 directions. Unless you really want to make puzzles that require fine tuning, but in that case, placement need to be more precise. Maybe having a "ghost mirror" that you can still move before releasing the button to confirm placement.

I wish there was a way to just reset an entire level, instead of having to go to each mirror and press a button to remove it~

This was pretty neat and a cool idea, I just wish the instructions had been a little more clear. I thought I had to restart the game when I placed a bad mirror until I saw the E prompt. It's a fun little puzzler and a solid entry

I didn't know how to play? I mean i watched the GIF and was like... ok i can do this but the mirrors didn't go how i wanted them to go so i was stuck in a loop of trying to get the mirrors to place right xD the game looks good from the GIF and stuff but i could get past the first part :'( xD

I like this idea, but the controls were a bit challenging to figure out. It was difficult to place mirrors where I wanted them at first. Also, in the description you have R to remove mirrors whereas in the game it's E. I'm not sure I would have got the hang of it without the GIFs on this page. A good enhancement may be to have the player carrying a mirror at all times, so you can see where it's going to go. I also found it counter-intuitive that you could get lasers to bounce off mirrors by shooting at their backs.
