About Shining

You control a cursor, using your mouse to click and drag pieces around the board. The main objective is to rotate and position these geometric fragments so that light passes through them, ultimately reaching and illuminating a central gem or target. It's a game of angles and reflection, where a single misaligned piece breaks the chain. The puzzles start gently, teaching you the logic of light beams and mirrors, but the difficulty builds in quiet increments. Solving a stage gives you a quiet satisfaction, a small click of things falling into place. The experience feels like working through a calm, visual riddle where every move requires a bit of foresight.
