Laser Maze
Bend light, power up pods, and clear every level in this sleek, laser-focused puzzle game! Position and rotate your mirrors to guide the beam to its final target. To unlock the receiver, you’ll need to activate every pod on the grid and use every mirror in your inventory. Precision is key—can you master the angles?
Built under the strict 1KB code limit for the Pico-1K Jam, this minimalist title features a deterministic, seeded generator that delivers an "infinite" supply of solvable (hopefully...) levels—perfect for quick, bite-sized spatial logic sessions, even if maybe not extremely challenging in some cases.
Controls:
Z/🅾️ - to place or remove a mirror
X/❎ - to rotate a mirror
Change log:
- Improved code a bit - current 1017 (minified)
- Increased the initial energy, now you have around 30s and not around 20s to complete the levels
- Added level indicator so you know your progress
- Added a downloadable zip with src p8 for readable and minified cart
- Fixed: Pod double count on multi passing lasers
- Fixed: turn cap respected in the generator

My beautiful child of a mechanism and the game didn't recognize it, truly sad
I have found some bugs, I am looking into making space to fix them… there is an issue with multipassing on pods
I think it should be fixed, a bug was miscounting pods
Very nice puzzle. I’d enjoy it more without the time limit, though. Having to start from the first level again is a harsh outcome of running out of time.
Fair… It could restart where you ended but where would be the challenge then? :P joking there… that would save me some bytes and I could polish a few other things. The time limit is what gives the puzzle some teeth though. I can also increase the time limit within the byte budget I think.
