Step into a Teslapunk universe as Nikola Tesla battling a Martian emperor's invasion. This retro arcade shoot-em-up delivers bullet hell and puzzle shooter action across six levels with shifting styles like technical drawings, pure electricity, and organic designs. Dodge high-voltage enemy bullets from ships that burst into lightning, while blasting foes with laser or spread shots.
Trigger Voltage Burst to erase bullets, unleash a powerful laser temporarily, and boost your score multiplier, which ties into a dynamic rank system ramping up difficulty. Time-scripted sequences sync perfectly with music, including boss patterns that pulse to the beat-culminating in a showdown against the disco DJ Mars boss hurling deadly music discs. Survival mode pits you against endless waves for coin collection at the Teslamart to upgrade your ship, plus arcade missions and an unlockable gallery. Fans of orchestrated bullet hell shooters thrive here.
"Teslapunk" is a retro style arcade shoot-em-up. It plays in a Teslapunk (subgenre of Steampunk) universe where all enemies and spaceships run on high-voltage and occasionally explode into lightning. Each of the six levels features a different style, from technical drawings, to pure electricity to organic styles. The final battle features the mars boss himself, as a disco DJ throwing deadly music discs at the player.
Teslapunk has bullet hell and puzzle shooter elements. You play through the levels, dodging bullets, and killing enemies with a laser or spread shot. As a special feature you have a "Voltage Burst", a special laser mode which cancels all bullets and gives you a strong laser for a limited time.
Canceling bullets raises the score multiplier and thus the score. The multiplier is also coupled to a rank system and therefore increases the difficulty dynamically.
The game play is completely time scripted, developed with a special sequence editor. This results in the game play being perfectly orchestrated with the music giving the player a very enjoyable flow with the game. Boss patterns in sync with the music are another feature of the game.
As a bonus game mode there is the survival mode in which you have to fight endless attack waves, collecting coins and power-ups on your way. The coins can be spent in the "Teslamart" to upgrade the ship and buy extra items. The goal is to survive as long as possible.
Furthermore Teslapunk features missions for the arcade mode and unlockable gallery picture.
Story wise you play as Nikola Tesla to fight an invasion against an evil emperor from mars. The mars boss has its own TV channel at the side of the screen and comments your fight against the invasion. He will also be the end boss of the last level.
