Looking for a game where the character is a sphere-like guy

This DOS game where you had to turn mirrors, turn green spheres into blue spheres and you have make sure that the laser goes through when you fire it.

The main character is a sphere with eyes, hands and legs.

Does anyone recall the name? (I think it was Micro-something)

No, the graphics are a little sophisticated than that.

Possibly micro deluxe?

Let's not link to abandonwarez websites. ~MrFlibble

Holz183, I'm sorry but I had to remove the link because the site has some pirated material, and we have a rule about that here:

2. General Posting

a. Do not ask for copies of full games that have yet to be released as freeware (“Abandonware” or “Warez”), unless you are interested in legally buying said games. Likewise, do not post any links to any website hosting Abandonware or Warez downloads.

Oops apologies hadn't realised

It's okay, but generally with sites that offer free old games it's better to double-check just in case.

I usually check if a site offers Doom II for download, because there were no playable demo or shareware releases of this game. In other cases the file size helps. E.g that site you linked to has Duke Nukem 3D and Shadow Warrior for download. Both game zips are > 20 MiB in size. The shareware versions of the respective titles are a lot smaller (around 5 MiB for Duke3D and 12 MiB for SW).
