A friend IMed asking for help, and then he figured it out on his own. _But_… I started playing anyway. If you like brain puzzles, try this [reflection](http://www.input-entertainment.de/laser/) game. ---

Aaargh! Got really far, but my modem disconnected. So I wrote down the password and redialled. It made me start again on level 1, but to get to my previous level I would have to complete or type in the password for each and every bloody level! No! I don’t have these, and I can’t be arsed to recomplete every level. What a jip. ---

I can’t get past level 8 and it’s making me insane!!! ---

**Fiendish Astronaut** , you only need the one password. Click play, then click +, then put in the password. ---

This looks cool, but I can’t make it do anything. I’ve got the mirror in the right position for the first level; how do I get the laser to hit the bulb? ---

Between the Progress bar and the Exit button are two buttons with arrows over them. Click on one or the other to turn the selected object to turn it. ---

I’d expect it at least twice that often! 😃 Good game. Sort of reminds me of high school physics though ---

Select the mirror, then click one of the rotate buttons. ---
