Light Speed
A downloadable game for Windows
Made for the Mirror game jam
You are a robot in a testing facility and this time you are testing out the latest supercollider superemitter hypergammatron (TM) laser gun. This lab prototype has a limited range and can't hurt a fly, but the laser beam has curious extraphysical properties such as bouncing further upon hitting glass/mirrors and allowing the wielder to do a fast zoom to the end of the laser beam.
Originally intended for this to be a parody of Portal with more background story and more levels but I've scaled it down and it has 3 levels for now. Might develop this further if there's more interest as all the pieces are there.
Controls are your usual FPS type of WASD keys.
Space to jump. E to interact. Z to go into bullet time mode, left click to zoom.
Use V to switch between first and third person camera and mouse scroll to control the third person camera zoom distance.

Thanks for your detailed comments! It was my very first game that I made in unreal engine, am Glad that you made it that far! The light was intended to have a limited range as it would be overpowered otherwise but that feature turned out to be very hard for players to understand.
