About

Laser Box Puzzle

Features
Read full description

Enter a compact optics lab where every move changes the path of light. Laser Box Puzzle is a spatial logic game about moving and rotating optical boxes. Guide the laser through every checkpoint and into the receiver to complete each circuit. Mirrors reflect the full beam around corners. Glass splitters transmit light while also creating a reflected branch. Move each optical box one cell at a time, rotate it into the correct angle, and watch the beam update instantly. FEATURES - Learn the rules through six handcrafted tutorial circuits - Continue with an unlimited supply of generated puzzles - Solve deterministic circuits built from guaranteed solvable layouts - Move and rotate mirrors and glass splitters - Route light through checkpoints, walls, and multiple beam paths - Earn up to three stars based on your number of moves - Undo moves or restart a circuit whenever you need - Keep your progress and stars saved locally - Use an extra mirror when you need another way forward - Enjoy responsive haptic feedback with an optional setting The generated circuits gradually introduce longer routes, more optical boxes, additional checkpoints, walls, and deeper scrambles. Every endless level keeps a stable layout, so you can leave and return without the puzzle changing. Extra mirrors are placed automatically in a random empty cell. The game includes three shared mirror credits. After they are used, additional mirrors can be requested by watching an optional rewarded ad. No account is required. Core puzzle gameplay is available offline, while an internet connection is required for advertising and related privacy controls. Move. Rotate. Illuminate.
