Protect your mirror from shattering bugs in this intense reflex puzzle game
Mirror Mirror
Mirror Mirror — You Can't Look Away
Mirror Mirror delivers a uniquely tense puzzle experience with a simple but unsettling premise: you must protect a mirror from creatures trying to destroy it, but you can't look away. Destructive bugs approach from all sides, threatening to shatter mirror pieces, while helpful butterflies offer restoration. Your reflexes, pattern recognition, and ability to maintain focus under pressure determine whether the mirror survives intact — or shatters completely.
🪞 What is Mirror Mirror?
Mirror Mirror is a reflex-based defense puzzle game where you control the edges of a mirror, protecting it from incoming threats. The mirror consists of multiple segments that can be individually damaged or destroyed. Bugs approach from various directions, attempting to break mirror pieces. Your job is to hover your mouse over the threatened edges, turning them white and blocking the bugs before they make contact.
But there's a twist: butterflies also approach the mirror. Unlike bugs, butterflies are beneficial — they restore damaged or destroyed mirror pieces. You must let butterflies through while blocking bugs, requiring split-second decision-making under increasing pressure. Mirror Mirror tests your ability to identify threats, react instantly, and maintain composure as the assault intensifies across three challenging levels.
🎮 How to Play Mirror Mirror
Game Controls
Mirror Mirror uses minimalist mouse-based controls:
- Move Mouse to Edge – Position your cursor over any side of the mirror
- Hover to Protect – When your cursor is over an edge, it turns white and blocks bugs
- Move Away to Allow – Remove your cursor from an edge to let butterflies restore mirror pieces
- Constant Vigilance – Continuously scan all edges for incoming threats The control scheme is deliberately simple because the challenge comes from decision-making speed, not mechanical complexity.
Core Gameplay Mechanics
Understanding Mirror Mirror requires grasping several key systems: Mirror Segments – The mirror is divided into multiple pieces. Each can be individually damaged, destroyed, or restored. Bugs (Threats) – Dark creatures that approach the mirror edges. If they reach an unprotected edge, they destroy a mirror segment. Block them by hovering your cursor over their target edge. Butterflies (Restoration) – Beneficial creatures that restore broken mirror pieces. You must allow butterflies to reach the mirror by NOT protecting the edge they're approaching. Edge Protection – When you hover over a mirror edge, it turns white and becomes impenetrable to bugs. But this also blocks butterflies, so protection must be strategic. Three Levels – Mirror Mirror consists of three progressively difficult levels, each increasing the speed and frequency of threats. Multiple Endings – Your performance determines the ending: lose all mirror pieces for the Bad Ending, survive with damage for the Neutral Ending, or finish with a complete mirror for the Good Ending.

🐛 Learning the Basics
The first level of Mirror Mirror introduces you to the core mechanics at a manageable pace. Bugs approach one or two at a time, giving you opportunities to practice positioning your cursor and protecting edges. Early on, you'll also encounter your first butterflies. The instinct is to protect every edge, but doing so blocks the restorative butterflies you desperately need. Mirror Mirror teaches you that passive defense — knowing when NOT to act — is as important as active blocking.
⚡ Increasing Pressure
Level two of Mirror Mirror significantly increases the difficulty. Now bugs approach from multiple directions simultaneously, forcing you to make impossible choices: which edge do you protect first? If two bugs approach from opposite sides at the same time, you can only block one. This is where strategic thinking enters Mirror Mirror. Can you afford to lose one mirror segment to save another? Is it worth letting a bug through on one side if a butterfly is approaching from another? The game becomes a constant risk assessment exercise performed at breakneck speed.
🎯 Survival Mode
The final level of Mirror Mirror unleashes chaos. Bugs swarm from all sides in rapid succession while butterflies intermix, creating a frenetic test of your pattern recognition and cursor control. At this stage, perfect defense is nearly impossible. You will take damage. The question becomes: can you manage the damage efficiently? Can you prioritize saving critical mirror segments while sacrificing less important ones? Mirror Mirror pushes your reflexes and decision-making to their absolute limits.
🏆 The Ending
After surviving (or failing) the three levels, Mirror Mirror presents one of three endings based on the mirror's condition. The Bad Ending shows complete destruction — you looked away, and the mirror shattered entirely. The Neutral Ending acknowledges survival despite damage. The Good Ending rewards perfection: a complete, undamaged mirror. Achieving the Good Ending in Mirror Mirror requires near-flawless execution across all three levels — a genuine accomplishment that few players manage on their first attempt.
