Cheat Sheet:

Press W/S to scroll up or down. You can also hold the middle mouse button and move the mouse to scroll.

M = Mirror,   L = Lens,   B = Block,   I = Intangible Lens

Press a button on the bottom to select that item, and press somewhere in the game to put it down. A placed item may be picked up again by clicking on it.

Scroll your mousewheel while holding or hovering over an item to rotate it.

While holding an item, press ESCAPE, BACKSPACE, or DELETE to sell it for its full price.

Click and hold on a placed lens, then move your mouse, to adjust its focal distance.

Hold left click to pick up the first resource. The other resources must be brought to the emission point of the tractor beam to the right to be collected.

Upgrades are crucial to progression, but be careful not to buy an upgrade that will leave you with too little money to buy any items afterwards.

To speed up item placement, you can press 1, 2, 3, or 4 to spawn a mirror, lens, block, or IL, respectively.
