Plongez dans un univers Teslapunk où vous incarnez Nikola Tesla face à l'invasion d'un empereur martien. Ce shoot'em-up arcade rétro mêle bullet hell et puzzle shooter à travers six niveaux aux styles changeants, comme des plans techniques, de l'électricité pure ou des motifs organiques. Esquivez les salves ennemies à haute tension tirées par des vaisseaux qui explosent en éclairs, tout en arrosant les adversaires au laser ou en spread shot.
Activez Voltage Burst pour effacer les balles, déchaîner un laser surpuissant temporairement et booster votre multiplicateur de score, lié à un système de rank dynamique qui accroît la difficulté. Des séquences scriptées à la seconde s'accordent à la musique, y compris des patterns de boss qui pulsent au rythme, jusqu'au duel final contre le boss Mars, DJ disco lançant des disques musicaux mortels. Le mode survie vous oppose à des vagues infinies pour ramasser des pièces au Teslamart et upgrader votre vaisseau, avec des missions arcade et une galerie à débloquer. Les fans de bullet hell orchestrés y trouveront leur compte.
"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.
