What Lumen is

Lumen is an arcade game developed by RTS - Real Time Solutions and released in 2006. It was published by Masque Publishing. It is available on PC (Microsoft Windows) only.

The premise, in the publisher's words

Reflect the laser from the emitter to the receptor in each level. The player is armed with rotatable mirrors, and will need to work around obstacles in the level, including walls, reflective walls, destructible crates (which may need destroying before the receptor is available), constantly rotating mirrors, switches, teleporters, and more. There is a time limit for each level, and if the beam is reflected back to the emitter, it will overheat and destroy itself within several seconds. The game starts in Egypt, and moves on to Babylon and beyond. Over 110 puzzles are included.
