The rule the page builds the game on: a shot that has not reflected cannot kill anything, and mirrors are the only weapon you have.

How the reflection rule works

Sentries fire on their own, one round each, and a round that flies straight harms nothing; bending it off a mirror makes it lethal.

Each stage decides how many mirrors you get - never more than five, and on the opening boards exactly one.

A round changes with its bounce count: after one reflection it destroys a target and stops, with exactly two bounces it pierces a target and continues, and with three or more it triggers a 3x3 blast centred on the kill that can destroy your own core too.

Myth-named pieces and later sectors

Board pieces carry the name of the myth they come from: the Mirror of Daedalus fixed into the floor, Iris who splits one round into two, the Aegis that turns a frontal hit into a harmless clink, Talos who falls only to a round with enough bounces, the Ferry of the Styx that crosses one way only and the Ring of Helios that raises a round's tier.

Later sectors add the Mirror of Janus, which turns its other face each time it is struck; the Gates of Hermes, which carries a round across the board with direction and tier intact; the Pool of Narcissus, which reflects a shot and lets a copy through; and Echo, who sleeps until a reflected round reaches her and then fires one of her own.

The journey runs through twelve sectors from Argos through the Labyrinth of Daedalus, Crete and the River Styx up to Olympus, with boards from six by five cells up to eleven by nine.

Stars, difficulty and who it suits

One star for clearing a stage, two for clearing within par, and three for clearing on your first shot within par with every amethyst collected.

The page stresses that nothing is hidden and nothing is random, and that the game is deterministic to the tick with no reaction timing.

It positions MirrorBullet as a puzzle built on the Perseus-and-Medusa rule of fighting by reflection, with the myth named directly on the page rather than another game used as the comparison (BOUNDED: official Steam description, checked 2026-10-30).
