    If you’re looking for a fun, “waste the hours away” kind of game, Teslapunk is a good get for its price tag.

    Teslapunk is a delightful sci-fi vertically scrolling shooter. It captures great addictive gameplay with the guilty pleasure cheesiness of 80s space adventures that can’t be denied. Lasers erupt and death rays fly, and so will the time with Teslapunk.

    Drawing fully from classical bullet hell shooters clichés, Teslapunk offers a unique design style and precise controls.

    While it packs few original features, this vertically scrolling shooter still manages to be enjoyable. It's challenging, audio-visually interesting, and the bosses and level layouts are nicely designed to give your reflexes a decent workout. Just don't expect it to keep you occupied for long.

    It has addictive gameplay and strange and trippy visuals that make it unique, but it's short. Too short. The survival mode is not much of an added content, even for enthusiastic players.

    While it may not be that long of a game, high score addicts can sink a lot of time trying to be the best among their friends (or the world) via the leaderboards.

    Teslapunk simply cannot be recommended in any form. While it has a fantastic idea for a scoring system, everything else about it is simply unappealing.

Tap shoot for spread shot and fast movement and hold shot for laser and precise movement. Has some challenging bullet patterns in the later half of the game but it isn't frustrating. Adjustable difficulty for players to ramp up their skills. Play for score. ......Have to give it a 10 because I want more of this type of game.… Full Review »

Like many shmups the game is not easy, but its very approachable in the Novice setting, even then its no cake walk. Some people don't like the style, but personally I enjoy the Steampunk/Tesla style it shoots for. The nice thing about the game is that it comes with another game that's basically a runner/shmup hybrid, its very interesting & addicting! Some have even claimed its the better game! lol Personally I enjoy the shooting aspect a bit more, but I must admit its a nice complement. As a package its totally a 10 worth the 10$… Full Review »
