Beam
A downloadable Beam for Windows
Beam is puzzle platformer in which you can manipulate lightbeams to interact with them. Lightbeams have no interactable features as long as they are without fog. Once in contact with fog they change their behaviour and become for example solid so you can jump on them.
It is best played with an original XBox controller but it also works really well with just a keyboard and mouse! It should run on almost every windows machine from recent years :)
Beam is now out on Steam:

I've played the first 3 levels and I'm really digging it; I love how the environment is detailed and in 3D yet we move in a 2D plane where all the physics happen. It's been a long time since I played a game with this design decision that I like so much!
I hope my donation helps your team to keep on developing this project, because it's pretty awesome and I'd like to see the final product 👍
We really appreciate that you like our vision of our physics based puzzle platformer so much. Such feedback gives us the strength to continue and make the final product as perfect as possible.
And of course the financial support also helps us to stay healthy and warmed up 😉
Stay tuned to see more of Beam very soon.
Thank you very much!
Awesome demo!
Great physics and interactive elements in Beam.
Is there a Linux version planned?
Definetly! MacOs Linux Consoles the whole shenanigan. But for now we have to stick to windows since we are a very small team (3) and can't handle the overhead of debugging for multiple platforms.
Thx for the nice comment!
No problem. I found that it runs really well in Wine with DXVK for now.
That is indeed a useful information. I hope you had fun. Did you beat it?
The Demo? Not yet.. kinda confused with the vents... but I love how you can freeze the lasers and roll on them. If I press the W key and space at the same time I can jump really high. In fact I can jump on top of the structures above the screen and clip through them. Is this a bug?
Yes this is a bug. Should already be fixed in the .18 version ... hmmm....
We have 5 different lightbeams and all do something else when in contact with fog. 3 of them are implemented in the demo but you can see all on your YouTube channel in a short spotlight video.

Got around the ship a bit, I'm liking the beam interaction even when it's tough to bounce off the red one. :)
Awesome game so far!
I just streamed it on my YouTube Channel (Lefter05) and I even raged a bit x3
Keep on going that way ^^
What I didn´t really liked was, that the fog just came to fast with me. If you don´t know what i mean, you can just watch my Livestream, at minute 29:30 you can see what I meant ^^
But beside that little thing.. I´m really hyped 4 the whole game ^^
Thanks for playing our game we feel really giddy about this :D
Your problem with taking up some fog with you when jumping on the red beams is about the timing. Stop using the fog before touching it. Same applies for the other beams. But we will update the mechanics based on all the awesome feedback we got on the gamefest and on our social media!
