Features The laser will bounce off any mirrored piece, so both a player's own and the opponent's pieces may be used to set up a shot. Since a player is focused on creating a path from that player's laser cannon to a target of interest, the player must be aware that a return path is also created for the opponent at the same time. The player can elect to fire the laser cannon. Firing the laser cannon takes only one action, but can be done only once per turn. Therefore, a player may want to use the first action in a turn to aim the laser, rotate a reflecting piece to set up a reflected shot, or move another piece into position. Laser beams are absorbed if they hit the edge of the board.

Many of their games follow a tried-and-true formula - featuring a general goal you’re trying to achieve with each puzzle, but being given a different starting setup and a specific set of supplies each time.

And that the puzzles are always organized from easy to expert providing something for everybody. With the advent of technology, many improvements in different fields have been made.

Some mirrored pieces can be destroyed by aiming the beam at one of their non-reflective sides, and others will simply absorb the beam harmlessly. Each player also has a beam splitter. Replay mode (go through and analyze the moves and laser shots you and your opponent made after a game. In an MS-DOS re-implementation by Peter Venable (1994), [4] the pieces move like normal chess pieces on a 9x9 board, with the laser moving like a king, and a turn consists of making any number of rotations to one's pieces followed by either playing a chess move or firing the laser.
