Graphically Beep is quite simple, but you know from the start that its physics and gameplay will force you to play level after level. The control system it's not customizable as we would have liked, but aside from that, Beep it's a worthy new asset in the ever growing Steam indie scene.
I first bought BEEP on steam not really sure what to expect (I'd bought about 10 indie games at the time, disappointed by some, impressed by others, so I was fairly unbiased by the time i got to BEEP). When I actually played BEEP, i was surprised that it didn't cost **** game has so much character and theme about it. Despite "hearing about" problems with performance, I and everyone I know who has it, runs the game fine at a smooth 60FPS. The game is mostly Physics/Puzzle platforming, and it pulls it off excellently. The controls are incredibly responsive so it's very easy to feel like BEEP is an extension of yourself. Unlike other puzzle platformers, BEEP doesn't feel like a sprite sliding along surfaces when you move. BEEP is very well "stuck in" the environment and you always feel totally in control which, considering the genre, is absolutely critically important.
The Anti-grav gun for picking up objects is one of the core "themes" of the game. A few things that impressed me here is that you can pick up just about anything (rocks, dead bodies) and use them for cover OR throwables. Even the enemies that aren't supposed to be moveable can be moved if you're creative enough, and another is that you can pick up objects grabbing specific points, for example, picking a block up at its center makes it slightly more luggy to move around but picking it up on the corner is slightly more maneuverable(sp?). One part that I've been itching to comment on is the audio. The soundtrack is very catchy, the sound effects fit the theme extremely well and there are other little quirks such as when using the gravity gun, the greater the range away from BEEP, the higher frequency the sound, and it also pans the sound to the sides depending on where the cursor is on screen. Small quirks like this really show that the developer cared about every aspect of the final product. To summarize: Beep is an incredible game, especially for it's price. Good audio, good performance, fun puzzles, good theme, great for all ages, and very nicely packaged into a safe and very (i mean VERY) portable game. I'd recommend it to ANYBODY.
This is just one of those games where you can tell games journalists, the so called "professionals" are full of it, likely full of the money they're stuffed with to write their reviews, something that indie developers can't do. Look at those reviews, just look at them, now compare those with reviews from the same sources of puzzle games with AAA puzzle games that are markedly worse. - This is a fantastic little game, it has character, and it has charm, the developers clearly cared about what they were creating and the puzzles are a lot of fun. What we need to realise is that we don't need a commercially branded character to enjoy a game or find a cute little game hero charismatic. It's just kind of sad that this game is getting 70%s instead of 90%s because the character is an unknown rather than, say, Mario or Pokemon. What a sad state of affairs.
This game is perhaps one of the first 2D puzzle/platformer games that really drew me in. the graphics are very pleasing to me, they are simple yet very bright and welcoming. i actually really enjoy the soundtrack especially fungi forest and lava lakes. they game is aesthetically wonderful for me in the way the worlds and soundtrack go together. it also adds different challenges to each new planet, this is perhaps the best part about the gameplay because it doesn't get old. highly recommended.

A great game, a great concept, excellent design levels.... ruined by a horrible mid-game-difficulty-spike and a horrible horrible last 4 levels!
Imagine playing a game that you really like. You keep playing it thinking that this is one of THE best games you've played and then suddenly right in the middle of the game it gets very difficult.
You need to jump to areas that you cannot see, die and then learn the path and then retry that blind jump. Get through areas where there are some annoying enemies placed in such a way that you need to be a paranoid to progress. ****. But you still overcome it because you like the game and move forward. And in the last 4 levels of the game the difficulty spikes are insane. I could not finish the last level and gave up on some steam trading cards. There is a checkpoint system but it's been ridiculously placed in those last levels. I would have given this game a 9 or 10 had it not been for those last few levels.
Un juego muy limitado, solo trata de ir navegando con tu nave por el espacio, muy simple. Jugabilidad: escasa, aburre a los cinco minutos, es siempre lo mismo... Gráficos: no se podía esperar gran cosa... Sonido: nada que destacar...sonido también simple, como todo el juego. Innovación: es verdad que hay pocos juegos de este estilo...(gracias a dios) Conclusión: Un juego muy simple y aburrido que no merece la pena jugarlo.
SummaryBEEP is the culmination of 18-months of work by three people; a programmer, an artist and a musician. The game presents a unique twist on the platformer genre by allowing the player to grab and manipulate the environment with an anti-gravity device. This multi-use tool is useful for clearing obstacles, solving puzzles and even as a weapo...
