FACTYLAZER — Rewire the dead factory and fire the beam. A red laser sleeps in an abandoned industrial factory. Power it back on, bend it through a maze of mirrors and machines, and strike the Final Core to bring the whole plant roaring back to life. Factylazer is a moody, mechanical laser-reflection puzzle. The beam travels in a straight line until it hits something — you never steer it directly. Instead you rotate mirrors, drag reflectors, and arm mechanisms so the light lands exactly where it needs to. HOW IT WORKS - Tap a mirror to rotate it and turn the beam 90 degrees. - Route the beam through the required generators to open doors and start machines. - Split it, amplify it to smash metal walls, chill it blue through coolers, or relay it across teleports. - Never let the beam touch a dangerous reactor. - Light the Final Core to clear the level. 30 LEVELS, 3 CHAPTERS Work through the Old Workshop, the Conveyor Complex, and the Central Reactor. Every hall adds a new machine — splitters, amplifiers, cooling units, teleports, rotating gears — and the last level restarts the entire factory. THREE WAYS TO PLAY - Easy: no timer, undo your moves, and a helping hand. - Normal: limited actions and moving parts. - Hard: a ticking clock, capped rotations, and instant restarts for experts. ABILITIES Laser Preview reveals the future path, Factory Freeze stops the moving parts, and Emergency Reflector drops a temporary mirror to save a run. EARN, RANK UP, COLLECT - Collect bolts and spend them on mirror skins, factory themes, and ability charges. - Climb 8 engineer ranks from Apprentice to Factory Master. - Chase 3 stars on every level, unlock achievements, and claim a daily supply crate. - Compete on a top-100 leaderboard. - 100% offline — no internet required. - No ads in the middle of a puzzle. Just you, the beam, and the machine. Grab a mirror. Rewire the factory. Fire the beam.
