Mirror Loop
Tap to drop mirrors onto a grid; aim a laser beam so it bounces into the target before its battery dies.
Place mirrors on empty cells and rotate them, then fire a beam that reflects until it hits the target or a wall.
Tap an empty cell to drop a mirror; swipe left/right to rotate it; tap the fire button to launch the beam.
