Mirror Image Game

Mirror Image is a Nitrome puzzle game about a warlock whose village has been overrun by demons. You don't walk or jump — you draw a line with the mouse, and the warlock teleports to the exact mirrored spot on the side of it, as if the line were a mirror and he were his own reflection. Every level is solved by reading the room and figuring out where that reflection needs to land.

Levels add new ways to complicate that one idea: mirror blocks that bend your reflection off at an angle, platforms that shift the moment you teleport, pressure plates that drop spikes of a matching color, and patches of magic mist that block teleportation outright until you find another way around. Three kinds of demons roam the levels too — short-sighted ones that barely move, ones that chase the moment they spot you, and one that freezes you solid if it catches you out of cover — so timing a mirror-line often matters as much as its angle.

Controls

Left mouse button to draw a line — the warlock appears on the opposite side of it, mirrored. Arrow keys scroll the view so you can see more of a level before committing to a line.

Tips

• Draw short before you draw ambitious — a line placed just past an obstacle is safer than one meant to clear the whole room in one teleport.
• Watch a demon's pattern for a beat before you move; the chasing type reacts to your position the instant you appear, so a line drawn mid-chase can land you right next to it.
• Mirror blocks change the angle of your teleport, not just its distance — treat them as a second line rather than assuming your draw and your landing spot match.
• If magic mist is blocking the direct route, look for a longer path around it rather than trying to draw through it.

It's a slower, think-first puzzle game rather than a reflex one — better suited to working out one tricky room at a time than a quick arcade session.
