I had the idea of adding a laser splitter that would split the beam into two but wasn't able to get to that, we also tried adding a portal for the laser to go though but would have had to redo the entire programming of the laser and we didn't have the time to do it.
Those are good ideas ! But I understand that there isn't always time to implement everything in a game jam's project. What you did in a week is already very very good !
