Blink
Blink is a sandbox game involving lasers and mirrors, and is heavily inspired by Logic World and OCTOPTICOM.
:warning: Important Note
I am considering closing the sources until well after the 1.0 release, and releasing the game for a small price. As such, I will not accept any contributions for the time being.
Building
