The concept seems neat

though I'm extremely confused if I'm doing something wrong or if something is broken

I only get 1 light/s for each light source and mirrors do nothing except change the visual.

3 light sources and 2 mirrors and no matter what I do I only get 3 light per second

Oof

I had the shop menu open so I didn't ever see the upgrade and improve buttons unlock...

Yeeeeeah, that really needs fixing. Once the jam ends on Sunday, I will have a host of bugfixes and edits to start, and this will be one of them.

It's a neat concept. It's just too bad that there isn't much to do. I'm not sure what the second improvement was. Some kind of efficiency increase?

The second improvement for the mirrors didn't quite make it into the game, sadly. However, I am already preparing the next major update for as soon as the jam finishes up!

A bit tricky at first since things aren't really labeled. The good thing about this game is that it's easy to tinker with setups and you're not really penalized for it, so that's a good thing (though toggling on and off the lights to get it to work did slow things down).

The beginning is a bit slow as the upgrades are rather expensive, but once you get mirrors it's GG. Piling on mirrors, especially chaining them in a diagonal formation will hit e300 in no time. It's actually a bit unfortunate the game goes by so quick at the end. The mirrors and setting up formations was super fun. But I was only in that mirror mode for a couple minutes before I had unlimited money.

I think you have a solid idea here. Smoothing out the balance will go a long way. There's a lot of optimization and playing around to be had with just laser length upgrades and mirrors, so the foundation is good.
