About

Reflet

Features
Read full description

Reflet is a minimalist puzzle about symmetry and control. Swipe to slide your body across the board. On the other side of the central seam, a mirrored twin copies every move — flipped left to right. Bring both bodies to rest on their own exits at the same moment to solve the level. The twist: the two halves don't share the same walls. A wall on one side is an opening on the other, so a single swipe carries each body a different distance. They drift out of sync — and finding the one sequence of moves that lands both at once is the whole puzzle. HOW IT PLAYS • Slide, don't step — bodies glide until they hit a wall, ice-puzzle style. • Mirror logic — left and right are flipped; up and down move together. • Land exactly — exits aren't sticky, so you must slide into a wall to stop on one. • Mind the hazards — one wrong slide and a body shatters. MADE TO THINK IN • No timers, no score chasing — solve at your own pace. • No ads, no in-app purchases. • Plays fully offline. • Hand-crafted levels, each verified solvable. Two bodies, one mirror. Slide them home.
