During the last weeks we've been creeping in our home offices to finally present you a new version of our demo.

Not only can you now play a new level, but we have also taken the feedback from you, the content creators, viewers and supporters very seriously. Several bug fixes, improvements and minor gameplay adjustments are included in this update.

Plus, there's more for all ears now. Not only did we add background ambience sounds, but we also added FX sounds to several animations and actions.

If you have any questions regarding Beam, you can directly reach our community manager Zinni by mail (thomasz@binaryimpact.de), join our Discord or send a DM in one of our socials.
