About Migrain

Migrain is a single player game where the objective is to destroy an enemy satellite with a laser. This task is made challenging by environmental obstacles, including gas spheres and entities called Electrobrains.

The player's laser fires in a fixed direction, and the target is often not directly accessible. Gameplay revolves around strategically positioning mirrors to redirect the laser beam toward the satellite. A time limit adds pressure to the puzzle solving.
