Turn mirrors. Bend light. Light every crystal. Beamlines One light source on a dark grid. Tap a mirror and the beam turns; send it through a prism and it splits into three colors. Clear the level when every crystal glows in its own color. ■ How to play · Tap a piece to rotate it. No dragging, no run button · The beam is always flowing, so the path redraws the instant you turn something · Fewer moves means more stars ■ Features · 180 hand-built levels across 9 worlds — mirrors, walls, color filters, splitters, prisms, color mixing, mastery, twin lights, expert · No tutorial text. The first level of each world teaches the new piece by letting you touch it · A new daily puzzle every day, with streaks and world rankings · The 180 main levels are ranked too - a board for every level, plus an overall standing · Ads never interrupt a puzzle, and Unlock All removes them entirely · No timers, no lives, no energy. Think as long as you like · Hints are never sold for money. Watch a short ad for one — we ask first — and every level is solvable without it ■ How color works · Red + green = yellow. Light adds up · Color filters subtract from the beam passing through · A prism splits white light three ways, and the direction you feed it decides where each color goes ■ What's free · Worlds 1-3 (60 levels) and the daily puzzle are free · Worlds 4-9 can be bought as single packs or opened together with Unlock All · Unlock All also includes future world packs Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/
