Reflector
A downloadable game
Reflector is an action arcade game where you need to reflect incoming projectiles into each other in order to destroy them and stay alive long enough to get a high score. There are 3 different modes you can choose to play that each have their own style of gameplay. Reflector is made exclusively for the Playdate.
Endless Mode:
Take on an endless wave of projectiles while collecting different powerups in order to last as long as possible and get a high score
- Multiplier: Doubles the score earned while active
- Speed: Increase the player speed while active
- Health Ship: Destroy when it appears to gain an extra life
Challenge Mode:
Choose from a list of unique challenges that range from surviving as long as possible without the ability to move, using a projectile to smash all the targets on the screen in the fastest amount of time, or constantly moving and using the crank to steer. Try to earn a score worthy of 3 stars on each of the challenges
Target Rush:
It's your turn to fire those projectiles back as you take out as many high value targets possible in the minute time limit. All targets you hit with the same projectile will be combined with any multiplier targets hit. Be ware of the x0 targets that will wipe out your score for a projectile

Will this game appear on the official playdate catalog?
I don't think so, currently there are no plans for that
Any reason why not?
Right now I have a lot of work to do with my next game Ribbit Rogue that I am aiming to be on catalog so my current focus has gone all towards that
Gotcha - best of luck with Ribbit Rogue. Is there a link we can preview it or are you keeping it's reveal a secret? The Itch page is a blank. Can you tell us the genre?
I've actually been documenting the progress on it throughout development in devlogs on YouTube, and there is a discord in the later videos description that has a demo build of the game if you're curious in checking it out https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2lkPoHiSvAM8PZB3BbNXyHSeD1O4bhn_
One of if not my favorite Playdate games. Unique play mechanics that work great on the Playdate.The only thing that would make it better is online leader boards.
Nice game. I played it a bit
one of the best side load games. a must have game.
Thank you! Really happy you liked it
Thanks for playing, I'm really glad you enjoyed it so much
