    Nice game with charming cartoon look, but one great flaw in my oppinion ; one hit kill. This is a pointless feature in a game like this. It's not hard, but because of this the final boss battle is broken an NOT fun. Get it only on a sale.

    I really want to like this game. The mechanics are fun, the artwork is done well. The way the story is presented by optional puppet shows is quite enjoyable. But the game is so short. Honestly, $15 and 2 hours of gameplay. Sure, you can spend extra time finding all of the scrolls, of which there are 36. But, to complete the game, you only need 15. I want more of this game, and I thoughtI really want to like this game. The mechanics are fun, the artwork is done well. The way the story is presented by optional puppet shows is quite enjoyable.

I want more of this game, and I thought I'd get a longer story for the price that I paid. If you are reading this after a price drop, then ignore what I say and pick this game up..… Expand

    Maybe my expectations were too high, but I just couldn't get into this one, abandoning it after an hour. Very cool style, and the mood is set well by the graphics and sound. But I guess I just didn't find the puzzles very compelling. The positive-negative mechanism sounded more fun than it was, and all too often I'd die without knowing why -- didn't always feel fair.

    It’s not a bad game, it’s just not really anything.

    Teslagrad is somewhat different from other proposals that rely on the gender "metroidvania" and these differences benefits all that come here.

    Thoughtful, pretty and just strange enough. [Christmas 2014, p.85]
