About Beam Bender
Beam Bender is a calm logic puzzle about light. A laser shines across the board, and your job is to turn the mirrors so the beam reaches every crystal.
New pieces arrive as you go: prisms and splitters that break one beam into several, colour filters that change the beam to match coloured crystals, portals that jump the light across the board, and dark gems that block it. There are 120 puzzles in 6 chapters, and every one has been checked to make sure it can be solved.
Each puzzle has a par, the smallest number of taps needed. Match it for 3 stars. If you get stuck, a hint shows you a step, and you can skip a puzzle and come back later.
