Mirror Wizard

Swap places with your own reflection to dodge lasers, spikes, and locked doors in this brain-bending arcade platformer.

You're a hooded wizard stuck in a series of single-screen chambers, and your only real trick is that your reflection moves when you do—except it lives on the other side of a mirrored wall. Hit the teleport key and you trade places with it instantly. Sounds simple until you realize that reflection can walk on ceilings you can't see, trigger pressure plates on the far side of a locked gate, or stand safely in a gap between spike rows while you're about to get fried. I lost a good fifteen minutes on one room with a laser grid that cycled on and off. The trick wasn't dodging—it was deliberately standing in the open so my reflection appeared on a tiny safe ledge behind the emitter, then swapping at the exact frame the laser fired. The game rewards patience and spatial thinking more than reflexes. You'll start reading the room backwards, mentally flipping every hazard to figure out where your double ends up. On desktop the controls are tight: A/D or arrows to move, W/Up/X/I to jump, and Space/U/C/O to teleport. Mobile gets on-screen buttons that are responsive enough. Visually it's clean pixel art with a moody purple-and-silver palette, and the audio cues for teleporting are satisfyingly crisp. If you like games like VVVVVV or Portal's portal puzzles, this scratches the same itch in bite-sized chunks.

Desktop: -Move: A, D, or Arrow Keys. -Jump: W, Up Arrow, X, or I. -Teleport: Space, U, C, or O. Mobile: -Ingame controls.

Learn the teleport timing—after swapping you have a brief vulnerability window, so don't do it while a spike is rising. Your reflection can stand on platforms you can't see; trust the swap early and often. On mobile, try using the teleport button as your primary movement rather than jumping—it's faster for crossing wide gaps. Some doors open only when your reflection holds a pressure plate, so figure out which spot makes the double stand still. If a room looks impossible, move to the far left or right edge and check where the reflection ends up—often there's a hidden path. Use short hops before teleporting to adjust the reflection's vertical position on mirrored platforms.
