It&#8217;s currently at around $8,500 (with a $15,000 goal for the initial PC release) and there are 11 days remaining. You&#8217;ll take control of a small tile that must reach the end of each level. It&#8217;s described as a &#8220;minimal, stylish, and challenging top-down puzzle game&#8221; that&#8217;s deceptively simple.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;It will test your ability to cut corners, squeeze through tight corridors, and make split-second inputs to reach the goal of each stage.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;&#8230;Reflect, direct, and slow down your tile to get to the end of each stage. Each world in <em>Reflectile<\/em> will have you discover and interact with different types of <em>puzzle blocks<\/em>, including <em>bumpers<\/em>, <em>speed<\/em> <em>boosts<\/em>, <em>number<\/em> <em>tiles<\/em> and many more!&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The gameplay is backed by an awesome soundtrack that apparently evokes a feeling of nostalgia for an older era of games while channelling a well-known &#8220;double-screened&#8221; portable system.
