LaserVex – Very Challenging HTML5 Puzzle Game

LaserVex is a very challenging optics based game. Each level has one or more laser sources, a series of mirrors, a number of targets all on the same plane. The aim of the game is to hit all targets just by moving the mirrors around without moving the laser sources. It sounds and looks simple at first but after going through the first 4-5 levels you will start facing some real challenges. Its one of the hardest puzzle games I’ve played in a while.

It has a lot of potential and should be made available as a mobile app. The graphics are lacking a bit (its all lines basically on a canvas) and the controls need some work (moving a mirror requires yo to move both vertices) but the gameplay makes up for it.

If you don’t have time to waste please don’t try this game. You’ve been warned.

Nexus 7, iPad Mini and iPad 3 Drop & Water Test – Which survived?

SquareTrade have done their ‘scientific’ drop test for the (almost) latest tablets. You should generally ignore whatever the guy is saying since he’s utterly biased (he says iPad mini survived when you can clearly see the screen got cracked all the way. Then they go ahead and submerge each tablet in water, all of them survived this test, Apple’s products remained on while in water, while Nexus 7 powers down (which is the correct thing to do when any electronics get dropped in water). The guy automatically suggests Nexus 7 doesn’t work but you can clearly see that its booting.
