Good game, surprisingly challenging – Optia Review

I heard about this game on the Accidental Tech Podcast and decided to check it out. I like the fact that it's a simple, direct game that delivers fun and challenges without any money-grubbing in-app purchases like many of the other games on the App Store do. I also like how this game iterates on a simple concept (firing a laser and changing its path with a combination of mirrors) and presents a series of levels that get trickier as the game progresses. Downsides: It was somewhat confusing for me to get started; I didn't really get that I was supposed to perform the dragging actions indicated by the arrows. Also, new kinds of mirrors are sometimes introduced without any explanation of how they operate.
