Mirror Image is a puzzle-platformer from Nitrome built around a single move: draw a line with the mouse, and your Warlock teleports to the point that mirrors your position on the opposite side of it. There's no walking or jumping in the usual sense — every level is a small optical puzzle where that mirror jump is the only tool you have to cross gaps, dodge hazards, and work your way back home.
The appeal is in reading a level before you commit. Draw the wrong line and you flip straight into a wall or a trap; draw the right one and you land cleanly on the far side in one motion. Sessions are short and puzzle-sized — a level at a time, spent working out the one line that gets you through.
Controls
Mouse only: click and drag to draw a line, then release to teleport your Warlock to the mirrored point on the opposite side of it.
Tips
- Think about where the mirrored point will land, not where you start the line — the angle and length of your stroke decide the landing spot, not your starting position.
- Use short, careful strokes near tight gaps rather than one long sweeping draw; small changes to the line move the landing point a lot.
- Pause before drawing even when a level looks safe — the mirror jump can flip you into a hazard just as easily as away from one.
It suits anyone who likes bite-sized puzzle-platformers built around one clean mechanic, where the whole game is spent asking smarter questions about that one move.
