Update #3!

New Mechanic - Mirrors! They reflect your shots by using the hit normal. Multiple mirrors will reflect off each other. Still buggy but the idea seems to work
Added Checkpoint and death. If you die, you respawn immediately (similar to Super Meat Boy) and keep going. No screens or time wasted
Added automatic switches on a timer, same idea as the other switch but this goes off on a static timer
Added Stage clear mechanic with level linking and music

Are those screen space reflections? Then it's clear why the mirrors look like this - they can't reflect stuff that isn't in screen space(i.e. that which is not rendered on your screen like stuff behind you). UE4 also supports planar reflections, maybe those would be better for you

Hi Jagh,

Yeah those are SSR. I was thinking about using capture scene 2D but I didnt even remember about the Planar Reflection actor - this might be simpler to implement. Thanks for the tip!
