Our take on Through the Mirror
Rather than framing platforming around movement alone, the game centers its puzzles on mirrored mechanics. Its two characters share an objective despite coming from separate worlds and holding opposing views, making cooperation part of the premise.
What is Through the Mirror?
Through the Mirror is a puzzle-platform game built around reality-bending mirror interactions, imagination, and fast reactions.
Its protagonists inhabit different realms and see the world in contrasting ways, yet pursue the same objective. The project grew from a Ludum Dare entry and adds stages, gameplay systems, and visual content. Trust serves as a central theme alongside the platforming challenges and puzzles.
