I tried and quit and came back to "four rooms" again and again over the course of weeks. I kept coming back and today I finally got a solution that I believed would work: mirrors lined up to reflect the laser to the final switch with no doors in the way. I had it. PIC

And then I find out the laser can't cross itself. A situation I had never come across.

This is just pure evil.

I checked the hints and it says I need all the mirrors free to move and my broken solution has 2 irretrievable so I'm back to square one.

I won't let this level defeat me.

I don't think I'll finish all the monster levels. I'm good with puzzles where I can keep track of all the different permutations and it's very hard for me If every move I make almost irreversibly changes the elements of the level. The solution is too exact and one wrong step can mess you up.

That's not a criticism of puzzle design. My brain just doesn't work that way. I could eventually come to the solution, but it would require too much trial and error, and that's just no fun.

Thanks for the game!

Got it! I couldn't figure out how to get the laser past itself and the solution is so simple but kind of novel at the end. This game has fried my brain.
