Fresh style, Original story, and the all important Battle of the Millenium, Tesla(Poor Immigrant Inventor) Vs Edison(Corporate Sponsored Douchebag that you think invented the lightbulb). The story alone is worth the money. If you are truely a fan of Tesla you will love this game. If you don't know who Tesla is then you should stick a fork into a wall outlet. I absolutely love this game! 10/10

My biggest issue with this game is the "loose" controls. In my opinion, it breaks this game. There are sections that require precise navigation, and the controls lack the precision to perform those tasks. Additionally, while the game does have some controller support, it still requires a mouse to perform specific tasks. This game also needs full controller support for both Playstation, Xbox, as well as Aftermarket controllers. That said however, I can see that the team behind this team have both a good concept as well as great artstyle within there game. I like the Tesla vs. Edison idea as well as the elongated body artstyle. It should be also mentioned that the backgrounds(2d worlds) featured in the levels also look very good. Overall, At initial release I can't recommend the game. However, if the controls were tighter and the game featured full control support, then I would definitely consider giving this game a second chance.
Very cool and fun with a unique style. Very challenging too, not for those who like easy games.
The graphics are quirky and funny but the gameplay is stilted and stiff, not nearly as fluid and funky as it should be.
On sale for $2, it seemed like even a game with less than stellar reviews would be worth a shot, and how do you go wrong with Tesla? God how I was wrong. Right off the bat, the game has no intuitive feel to it. Most of the few levels I could deal with was fighting zombies, but the way you do so is that you effectively grab one zombie in your gun, then shoot that zombie at another. There's a whole realm of issues with that. First of all, there's a long animation of the zombies coming out of the ground before they can be interacted with. Then there's that when you do use this, the zombies bounce straight back at you so if you're remotely close to the zombie you're shooting, you end up getting hurt by your own shot. "That can easily be avoided by not being close to the zombie" you say. Well, the field of view is so small, and so much of this involves narrow platforms, that that is an incredibly difficult thing to pull off. Plus, there's a max range for the gun, so it limits you to relati...
If your looking for a fun platformer keep looking.
Really want to like this game but the controls are really rough and a bit unresponsive for a platformer. You'll have to figure out the controller controls on your own. The game doesn't tell you beyond the keyboard controls.
Tesla Breaks the World falls victim to the one thing that ruins a platformer. Shoddy controls. That's pretty much it. It appealed to me so much - because who doesn't love Nikola Tesla - but I found myself unable to play through more than the first few levels because of the frustratingly laggy and underpowered directional control. It's pretty much beyond a patch by the devs now, so give it a miss.

Terrible control of the character and bad camera/view renders the game unplayable... 3 out of 10... just for the story concept.
