More about this game
Reflecto: Clash of Cores is a real-time strategy puzzle where you must redirect a continuous energy beam to damage the enemy core. Both you and a bot opponent share an arena of hexagonal mirrors. You must drag and rotate these mirrors to create a clear path to the enemy core while blocking their beam from hitting yours. The match ends when either core's health reaches zero, which starts at 100 points. The bot gets faster and smarter on higher difficulties, making it harder to maintain a solid defense.
Tips
- Keep an eye on the enemy beam; the bot will actively try to bypass your defenses and target your core.
- In Moving Mirrors mode, mirrors shift automatically every 1.25 to 1.75 seconds, so you must drag fast and adapt quickly.
- Use the center hexes to control the main firing lanes, but watch out for locked hexes that cannot be occupied.
Questions
How do I win?
You win by reducing the enemy core's health to zero before your own core collapses. The beam deals 18 damage per second by default.
What does the Moving Mirrors modifier do?
It causes the mirrors to shift positions automatically every few seconds, forcing you to constantly adjust your strategy and mirror placement.
How does the bot difficulty change the game?
On Hard difficulty, the bot responds faster, evaluates more potential moves, and deals slightly more damage when its beam hits your core.
