You control the beam of a UFO to abduct some guy during his sleep, from his bed to outside the house. However, it ain't gonna be that easy, as the house is basically an obstacle course! You gotta make sure the victim doesn't hit anything too much, or he'll wake up and you'll fail. You should avoid sound as well, as it does about the same thing as walls and other objects. Also, you gotta avoid being seen by other people (little red rays show their vision), or else it's gonna be instant game over. You also gotta interact with objects in the house to make sure the victim goes through the whole thing.

Bring the victim outside of his house, and you win.

With an Xbox 360 controller, you do the following...

Use the left analog stick to move the beam itself.
Use the right analog stick to move the camera horizontally.
Press A to bring an object or the victim into the beam. Press it again to release whatever you have in your beam.
While having an object or the victim, press X to leave it into an anti-gravity state. It will go down slowly instead of just falling, leaving you time to do other stuff.
Again, while having something in your beam, press LT or RT to rotate it. You gonna need to do so.

Also, use the mouse to use any menus in the game. We haven't programmed anything to use them with a controller.

Unlike Grumpa, we have used UDK 3 (which is basically a piece of Unreal Engine 3) to create Beamed. Also, this isn't a concept I've worked on with friends at our school, but rather a concept I've joined in.

Also, it's been my first time ever with anything related to Unreal. I've been a noob during the project, and the same goes for the majority of the programming team we've been. That means the whole project was a damn learning experience, even more than when I worked on Grumpa.

I've learned the basics of coding with UnrealScript thanks to this, as well as some stuff about Kismet and the AnimTree. Too bad UnrealScript isn't that much of a thing anymore with the latest version of Unreal/UDK.

I've mostly worked on the game controls, as well as integrating some animations the animators have made (the beam, the victim and the grandma).
