Beam

Very nice graphics, lovingly designed levels. At some levels you may despair, but it is also doable for not so gifted players. The game time of around 7 hours is more for experienced players, with the current levels I expect around 10 hours of fun. I really like Martin and MARBLE's puns. Totally worth the price, it's a well thought challenging game that you should buy and play ;)

Отличная головоломка "на рельсах", по которым катится шар с уникальной системой разнообразных лучей, с которыми он взаимодействует. В игре простенький сюжет с забавными диалогами, зато саундтрек и эмбиент отлично вписывается в игру и создает нужную атмосферу. 17 часов ушло на первое прохождение двух глав, третья, к сожалению, только в разработке. Игру в ее текущем состоянии вполне можно пройти за 4 часа (за это даже есть достижение в Steam), но она довольно сложна в освоении и может оттолкнуть своей сложностью на ранних этапах. Разработчики быстро исправляют найденные баги и некоторые особо сложные уровни. Рекомендую. ___________________________ Pretty good and hard puzzle game, you're playing as a MARBLE aka ball that roll through levels and interacting with unique mechanic - Beams, that makes a ball to bounce off them or glide or stick to it for example. Game has a pretty simple plot, but the OST and ambient are very well done and fits the game just right. I spent 17 hours at the full first playthrough for 2 chapters, 3rd chapter is still in development sadly. In it's current state you can beat the game in 4 hours (there's even a Steam achievement for it) but it might be hard to master the movement of a ball in the early stages of a game. The developers are fixing bugs and improving some hard levels pretty fast and you can even see how they doing it on their dev streams. Recommend to buying.

Beam is an interesting and challenging game. This is one of those games that deserves more attention from the community. The gameplay is good, the obstacles could be challenging. This game also has spoken voices while playing. That is a great addition. Some gameplay here: https://youtu.be/Si7u85uxJI4

The game takes too much precision, which is very difficult with a keyboard and mouse. After about 10 times of doing the same load over and over....you finally succeed only to have your pod explode on structural failure....then guess what....start all over again....blah! After hours of play, still on second level...blek! You can't save your progress, a bitter failure for a game this difficult.

[h1] Intro [/h1] It's a puzzle platformer that is true to its name. Play the game and you will see why. I'm not spoiling for ya. [h1] Pros [/h1] - it's a new kind of concept for platformer [spoiler] (no, I haven't not played portal, though people told it it's like portal but since I've not played it, it is new to me) [/spoiler] - I really love (mega love) the interactions between the characters - Nice story - nice progression of difficulty of stages - constant introduction of new elements - allow players to find shortcuts - constant dev stream - dev is interested when someone stream their game [h1] Cons [/h1] - some parts when stuck require to restart stage - this next point is my own personal experience ([spoiler] Due to the low CPU power of my pasocom, the game itself lag when i play and stream in low graphics. It also has blackscreen when i alt tab when i was loading though audio was working. [/spoiler]) [h1] Conclusion [/h1] The game on its own is something that is good. What makes this game better is knowing that the game developer is interested in improving their game and fixing their game whenever bugs are reported, does on stream bug fix, and visits people who stream their game. Knowing this passion makes me, someone who plays the game, want to play it to my best and i did just that.

The gameplay is easily explained: You roll a ball, you spray fog towards lightbeams with different properties and you navigate through the levels. But from the very beginning you notice that it's not as easy as it sounds. Not only do you have to time your jumps and the fog correctly, you also have to find you way through the levels. Which should be easy in a 2.5D game, right? Not quite, as you can also rotate the camera at certain points. This adds lots of depth to the levels and makes the game much more complex than it seems at first. All in all it's a fun puzzle platformer with a small touch of metroidvania!

[h1]Now you´re thinking in [strike]portals[/strike] ... ähhhm ... BEAMS[/h1] [i]"Is it going to take loooooong?"[/i] If you wait for Portal 3 ... maybe, if you´re looking for your next challenging experience, no, you found it! I can´t point my finger on it, but I have so strong portal-vibes with this game. So if you liked Portal, Beam might be your next game. Instead of portals (and funny sticky gluey fluids) you have beams, emerging from kristalls with varios colors. Each color have its own unique capabilitys you can activate temporarily. And also instead of trying to kill you, the AI´s job is to save you from a collapsing starship, while you are rolling around in a mobile rescue pod, called MARBLE. What´s not kind of an easy task, because your charakter is an impulsive chatterbox. And thats the foundation for a lot of the humor in the game. Technically, the game have very good graphics for a title in this pricesegment and is fully dubbed on a professionel level and have an awesome soundtrack! I had no bugs so far, just one time, I glitched in a box and exploded. But I have to admit, I was very hyperactive with jumping and pushing stuff around, so, no hard feelings. Beside that, no crashs or breakdowns (except my mental breakdowns probably :D ) [b]Only 2% are smart enough to finish this game!!!!1!11einseinself[/b] Yeah, I liked to mobile-game-clickbait a bit, but believe me, this game is not for the faint hearted. If you have to think in portals in Portals, in Beam, you have to think in beams BUT also you need good controller skills, good timing and a very high frustration tolerance. So, if you are looking for a hardcore challange with good graphics and a good sence of humor, this is your game, enjoy! :)

Challenging puzzle game with beautiful visuals. It has unique and quite interesting game mechanics. You play as a ball (escape pod), moving through a crashed space ship with the help of light beams. Can be a bit tricky to play with mouse & keyboard, but I'm really looking forward to trying it out with a gamepad. The main character and his pod have some fun conversations. Can't wait to see how it ends!
