187+
![game title in ascii art as a game's level](l1t.png)
188+
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.
