Password to beat that level is: svga. Unless thats the one for level 9. Either way, that’s an easy way past level 8 at the very least. ---

Do you want the exact way to solve or a hint? I’ll start you off with a hint either way. WARNING blah blah blah Use mirrors on the outside of the walls to reflect the laser before you use it on the inside. In order to get the laser into the little room on the left, you need to use the 45 degree mirror. ---

Wow, this makes me feel so smart… I struggled for a minute at level 8, then breezed through 9 and 10. I see on preview that 11 is impossible, but I have a feeling I’ll just solve it like the last couple levels… [sub]nevermind[/sub] ---

What am I missing? All I get is the laser beam thing and a mirror. What am I supposed to do? Thanks. ---

Glad I’m not the only one. I can get it down to one unlit bulb on 11. To **Kinsey** : You direct the laser w/ the mirrors. You can rotate the mirrors or splitters w/ the two rotation buttons on the bottom right section of the game screen. You need to direct the laser to the unlit light bulbs to light them up. ---

> [@](#): > > Glad I’m not the only one. I can get it down to one unlit bulb on 11 I can do the same in two different ways so far, but can’t seem to find a way to get them all. This game is in desperate need of a “cheat” option. ---
