About BEAM
What is BEAM?
BEAM is a short, single-player 2D action roguelite by raxeris. It runs in a browser through itch.io, with phone play supported when you turn the device sideways. You carry one weapon: a beam charged by holding and fired by releasing. The setting spans the Ochre Waste, Under the Ring, and the Lit Wall. It is built for quick runs, with three acts, twelve fights, and two bosses.
How a run of BEAM plays
A BEAM run moves through fights, elites, shrines, and bounties across a branching road. Hold to charge your beam, aim while charging, then release to fire. A Herald appears in every fight. When it fires, charge at the right moment to lock beams, then mash to win the clash. Winning sends a blast across the screen. Cards change your approach for the next fight, while each run takes about five minutes.
Why BEAM is worth a try
BEAM turns one-button action into a timing duel. Peak mode gives you one full-charge window before overheating, while Pulse mode creates repeated firing windows at full charge. Herald clashes add a second test: charge against the enemy beam, then mash harder to win. Cards also create four listed builds, including rapid shots, prism-split beams, and ways to bait incoming fire. It feels more like a compact arcade roguelite than a passive run.
Who will enjoy BEAM
BEAM suits players who want a complete action run in about five minutes. It is a good fit for fans of short roguelite sessions, one-button controls, branching choices, and build-changing cards. The game gives you twelve cards, four builds, three acts, and two bosses to chase across its route. Expect focused timing and quick decisions rather than a long campaign. It runs in a browser and also works on a sideways phone.
