Reflector

Weapon Overview
The Reflector is a Shield-type weapon. When the fire button is held down, the ship generates a flat energy barrier, oriented in the last direction the ship moved (allowing the player to aim the barrier in any direction). Any projectiles that strike the barrier are reflected, their trajectory depending on the angle at which they hit. Reflected projectiles are yellow, and will damage anything they hit. The Reflector consumes energy very quickly when active, so it can only be used in short bursts.

Reflected projectiles retain the damage potential that they had when fired, so large projectiles do comparatively more damage than small ones. The Reflector can be used to mount devastating counter-attacks against bosses, as with a bit of skill, you can use their considerable firepower against them.
