Was toying with dropping this review, but ended up writing it anyway. Beyond the Heavens is a simple Shmup with some progression components as well. The problem is that it does not really offer too much additional and exciting aspects of gameplay in a fairly well-established genre. Too many sections are fairly bland. It’s a cheap game and developed by one person I think, so I always feel bad writing a negative review for a single-person project. But I try to be honest about it, because I really didn’t have too much fun with it.
This is an Early Access Mario Kart inspired title that has its own charm. My biggest gripe with it is the lack of online multiplayer, which could draw a much bigger player base. Couch split-screen is the only MP option at this time.
Today, the review is not of a game, but of a software program. GoPlay Editor is a video recording and editing software package that is easy to use and good for the lay person. There are some reports of crashes and data loss, but I did not encounter this. No streaming option available. There is a free demo available, and the devs give out temp 3-month long keys for the full version. I wish they would give out permanent keys, but they want business…
Seriously though, how on Earth do you say this name? I just can’t find a suitable pronunciation that satisfies me.
Here’s the link to my review:
I hope you aren’t on limited bandwith…
That video was 68 GB?
I am not trying to market for them, I would rather offer up honest opinions about paid programs and mention free alternatives and let consumers decide what they think is the best for them at that particular juncture in time and space. Though it is peculiar that GoPlay dropped its price without any announcement to $40. I think they can make money even at $10, and it would probably actually sell a lot more.
Well, it’s just recordings. No internet bandwidth required, thankfully-- I don’t have the kind of GPU for streaming at any decent quality. I ran a few test streams trying to show a friend MvC: Infinite, and it ran at 2 FPS the moment I tried to get past “two tetris blocks making jabs at each other while purple and orange blocks appear around them.”
And… no. The combined video footage from that was probably 60MB at most altogether. I was talking about in general-- I’ve had about 90GB of recorded footage total across 19 hours of playing, and about 32GB of that footage is corrupted due to running out of space during recording (I’ve expanded my partition to prevent this from happening again).
