Game overview

Laser Charger is a light-routing puzzle where every battery on the board has to be fed from an energy source you cannot move. What you can move are the mirrors, and rotating each one bends the beam a quarter turn at a time until the light threads its way across the board and lands where it is needed. Later boards add more batteries than there are obvious paths, so the solution is usually one beam split cleverly rather than a straight line.

This title is best suited to players who enjoy routing and reflection puzzles.
