189+ [ l1t] by [ @alex-laycalvert ] is a WIP terminal game about
190+ shooting lasers and lighting statues to solve puzzles.
191+
192+ In each level, you have to configure mirrors, lasers, and other items
193+ to light up all the statues while avoiding any mishaps like shooting
194+ yourself with a laser beam.
195+
196+ There's only 4 core levels right now but in addition to adding more
197+ the developer is working on a repository system where web servers
198+ can host level files and users can subscribe to them.
