BEAM!

BEAM! Is a two-player 2D versus fighting game set in a distant future where as mechas, players fight against each other in an arena to resolve conflicts between factions.

In the distant future, the world has united under one flag where war no longer exists. A sport has been created with the sole purpose of representing the conflicts between several factions. It is called Beam!. Mechas from each faction equipped with a "gravitron cannon" are sent into an arena.

One rule: Whoever survives, wins. In BEAM!, the players' objective is to eliminate each other using powerful projectile shots capable of destroying the arena where the duel is taking place and inflicting damage on the opposing player. Two combat phases with different controls will take place during a round. Strategy, reflexes and intuition will be your best assets to triumph over your opponent!

The fight takes place in a uniquely designed arena that combines elements of Antiquity, Synthwave, and Cyberpunk. Players are enclosed within a massive Matrix Cage. Inside the arena, walls made of various materials create obstacles, preventing direct shots between players. These walls cannot be destroyed by regular shooting; only a sufficiently charged shot can break through them.

During Phase 1, the basic phase, the player moves mainly on the ground, with Smash-like movements that are less complex but still need to be mastered. Air Control, deceleration, acceleration, slight inertia, etc. 

During Phase 2, which is unlocked once half the player's HP has been reached, the player levitates/flights and is not subject to gravity. He can only move by dashing when moving conventionally. The dash has a precise distance and allows rapid movement, but is harder to master.
