Refraction

Do you love Portal?  Do you love the challenge of solving puzzles in games?  Refraction reminds me of Portal where you have to use your brain to figure out how to solve the puzzle, and complete the level. There are over 120 puzzles to solve in Refraction.

It is the free Amazon app of the day today, but if you miss it the best part is it is normally only about a $1.  It will be a dollar very well spent when you spend hours, and hours playing the game on your smartphone, or tablet.

The game is pretty simple to understand.  You basically have static colored lasers that have to be reflected by a selected amount of mirrors, and prisms to the same colored circle.  It sounds easy, but the puzzles can get really complicated to solve.

The mirrors are simple.  They simply reflect the same color laser.  You can move the mirrors anywhere, and rotate the degree of the mirror to change the angle of the reflection.  The prism works so that it takes the color, and splits it into its primary colors.  For example it will take am orange laser, and than sprout a yellow, and red laser out the other sides.

The exciting part also about Refraction is there are several different solutions to each puzzle level.  The game tracks your best record of the shortest distance, the least amount of mirrors, and prisms used to solve the puzzle.  It also lets you take screenshots that saves to your SD card.  How cool is that?
