Defend the bastion from an onslaught of enemies that are surprisingly easy to pop with your lasers. Don't get too comfortable and make sure to use the mirrors to get those shielded ones!


This game was developed in 48 HOURS following a theme given to me from across the globe: "Mirrored".


Keyboard Controls:

  • WASD: Menu Navigation
  • WS or Up and Down Arrows: Switch Laser
  • AD or Left and Right Arrows: Rotate Laser
  • Space: Menu Select
  • X or N: Menu Back


Gamepad Controls:

  • D-Pad or Left Stick, Up and Down: Switch Laser
  • D-Pad or Left Stick, Left and Right: Rotate Laser
  • A: Menu Select
  • B: Menu Back


There is no game jam. I just wanted to continue practicing with Construct 3 and gave myself a time limit. A friend provided the theme "Mirrored" so that's why this game is the way it is.


This game was programmed in Construct 3.

I'm so bad

but very fun game

JauqGames responds:

This game is quite hard, so don't worry, :)

Thanks for playing, glad you had fun.

Pretty straight forward at the start, but I don't know what to do after around level 30. The shields just get in the way of each other and you can't get at them.
I like gamepad support!

JauqGames responds:

Congrats on beating Wave 25! (as of this moment you are the 5th person to do so!) Glad to hear you like the gamepad support!

After wave 30 it might be best to either focus on getting rid of shield enemies as soon as they spawn or try to use their own shields against each other.

Thanks for playing!

This is tough

JauqGames responds:

Indeed.

It's fun for sure. My only gripe was having my mirrors break on me -- when I died I think it was because the mirror breakage led me to a situation where it was impossible to kill the shielded enemy that rekt me. If players can just end up screwed like that then I'd consider it cheap, OTOH if I need to git gud and figure out what makes the mirrors break and find a way to not end up in that situation then I guess that's on me.

JauqGames responds:

Glad you think its fun! Mirrors break when they are used to finish off an enemy (any enemy) Here's a tip: There are 4 mirrors that never break (They are thicker, double layered) I carefully placed these ones to allow the destruction of shield enemies if they get too close to the player's zone. Though it is best to try and save those back mirrors for the shield enemies.

1. Very good game!
2. Is there a pause button?

JauqGames responds:

1. Thanks!
2. Sadly no. Sorry about that one. If you are using google chrome you can open a new tab and the game will freeze until you return
