Golden Spiral Level Composition

·172 words·1 min

Does it look like a dead fish?

Man, tiling these levels is interesting. First of all, it’s pretty tough to find the positions of the emitters and sensors and walls so only the desired mechanic can solve it. After that step, though, I have more freedom. I’m trying to learn about composition.

In this level there’s a pretty clear point of focus, the player needs to place a mirror at the intersection of the two lasers in a way that utilizes a new mechanic. So I tried to have as many lines from the edges of the level direct the gaze there.

I might’ve overdone it. I wonder if I could eliminate the top left.

I could also go all Fibonacci on it.

Golden Spiral. I’ll try to keep that in mind for the next level.

Oh right. The next level is an actual spiral. Hah.

Okay, getting carried away with the spirals here.

How does this fit at all with the idea of repairing devices again? I’ve completely lost the plot.
