A roguelike base-builder hybrid where you control a single character in charge of managing and defending a colony on a hostile planet.

Description

In Reflector: Laser Defense, you need to grow and defend a colony against waves of enemies. You have no allies or army, just a laser gun. You place reflectors and splitters to manipulate the beam and make the most of each shot.

Current Features

• Defend your colony from the waves of drones that attack at night
• Make the most of every shot by manipulating lasers with splitters and projectors
• Mine metal so you can expand your colony
• Build residences to control where your population lives
• Build walls to buy yourself a few turns before the enemies break through
• Build projectors to expand the area where you can place reflectors
• Build mines so you don’t need to mine by hand
• Randomly generated maps with mountains and lakes to keep things interesting game to game
• Classic roguelike features: turn-based, grid-based, permadeath, randomly generated maps

Planned Features

• Colonists who do more than just sit inside
• More resources to manage: energy, food, oil, refined metal
• Greater enemy variety
• Bosses
• Research
• Milestones (in-game achievements that let you recover morale)
