Beam

About

Beam is a puzzle game where you connect scattered energy stations using laser beams. Each level presents a grid filled with hazards like rolling spheres, magnetic fields, and gravity traps. Players must plan pathways that avoid these obstacles while linking stations in sequence. The single-player mode offers a series of increasingly complex challenges. A multiplayer option lets two players compete or collaborate, adding a layer of strategic tension. The game stands out for its physics-based obstacles that require precise timing and spatial reasoning. Despite its 1989 release, the core mechanics remain sharp and methodical, appealing to fans of logic puzzles. The retro platforms it launched on, Amiga, Atari ST, and C64, didn’t hold it back from delivering a concept that feels ahead of its time in blending puzzle-solving with dynamic environmental hazards.
