Beam: Mirror Puzzle

One lamp, a handful of mirrors, one shot. Trace the light in your head, then fire. No undo, no countdown, nothing to react to. 38 hand-tuned boards, then endless.

Tilt the mirrors. Route the light. Collect every gem.

Beam is a calm mirror puzzle built around one idea: you get one shot.

Every board gives you a lamp, a handful of mirrors and a set of gems. Turn each mirror to send the light where you want it, then fire once. Either the beam takes every gem or it does not. There is no undo, no timer breathing down your neck, and nothing to react to. Just you working out the route before you commit.

WORK IT OUT BEFORE YOU FIRE The light does not show you where it is going. That is the whole game. You have to trace it in your head, corner by corner, and be sure. Get it right first time and you take three stars.

TWO MINUTES A BOARD Levels are short by design. Play one waiting for coffee, or lose an hour to the back half. Thirty-eight hand-tuned boards that start gentle and end genuinely hard, and it keeps generating fresh ones long after those run out.

COLOUR, WALLS AND FROZEN LIGHT New pieces arrive slowly, one at a time, each explained the first time you meet it. Filters that tint the beam. Gems that only accept their own colour. Walls that stop light dead. Mirrors already pinned in place, whether you like it or not.

A BOARD WORTH CLIMBING A fresh daily leaderboard resets every midnight. Play well and watch your name climb. Powerups exist if you want them, but every one you use costs a star, so buying your way up is not a thing here. The only way to the top is solving boards properly.

NO ACCOUNT, NO SIGN-UP Open it and play. No email, no password, nothing to fill in. It works offline, on a plane, in a lift.

BUILT TO BE PLAYED ON A PHONE Portrait, one-handed, sixty frames a second. Sound and haptics you can switch off. Reduced motion honoured. Colour never carries meaning on its own: a right or wrong shot is told by movement as well as colour, and the faces differ by shape, not hue.

Beam is free and supported by ads. A small banner while you play, a short ad between levels, and an optional video you can choose to watch for coins. "Remove ads" in the shop turns all of it off for good.
