How do you play Ricochet Relay?

A laser enters from the top-left and you tap empty cells to place diagonal mirrors that bend it by 90 degrees. Steer the single beam so it passes through every target node on the board, and the circuit solves automatically when all targets are lit.

What is a laser reflection puzzle?

It's a logic puzzle where you route a beam of light through targets by placing or rotating mirrors. Each mirror reflects the beam at a right angle, so solving means planning a path of bounces — a classic format also seen in mirror, optics, and laser maze puzzles.

Why can't I place another mirror?

Every circuit has a fixed mirror budget shown above the grid, and a valid solution uses exactly that many. If you've hit the limit, tap one of your placed mirrors to cycle it away and free up the slot, then rethink the route.

How is my score calculated?

Your score is the number of beam circuits you fully route before the 120-second timer ends. Each solved circuit is worth one point, so the leaderboard ranks the runs that completed the most circuits.

Is Ricochet Relay free to play?

Yes. Ricochet Relay is free in your browser with no install and no signup, and your best score is saved locally on your device.

Ricochet Relay — Laser Reflection Puzzle

HOW TO PLAY

Press Start Relay. A laser enters the grid from the top-left corner and travels to the right.
Tap an empty cell to drop a diagonal mirror; tap again to flip it from / to \, and once more to clear it.
Each mirror bends the beam 90°, so place them to route the single beam through every ◎ target node before it leaves the grid or hits a ▦ wall.
Light up all target nodes and the circuit solves instantly, loading the next — solve as many as you can before the timer ends.

TIPS & STRATEGY

Trace the beam backwards from the last target. Working out which direction it must be travelling when it reaches each node tells you exactly where a mirror has to sit.
A / mirror sends a rightward beam upward and a downward beam leftward; a \ mirror sends a rightward beam downward and an upward beam leftward. Memorizing those four turns makes placement instant.
Mind the mirror budget shown above the grid. If a circuit allows two mirrors, there is a route that uses exactly two — placing a third is impossible, so a 'no mirrors left' message means your current path is wrong, not that you need more.
Walls (▦) stop the beam dead, so treat them as hard boundaries and route around them. Often a wall is the hint that tells you which side the beam must approach a target from.

ABOUT

Ricochet Relay is a laser reflection puzzle played on a single screen. A beam fires from one corner and you steer it by dropping angled mirrors, exactly like the classic mirror-and-laser logic puzzles, but tuned for quick browser sessions: each circuit gives you a small mirror budget and a handful of target nodes the beam must pass through. Early circuits need a single mirror; later ones chain several bounces around walls. Your score is the number of circuits you route before time runs out, and your best run is saved on your device with a place on the global TOP 20.
