It's about 4 hours of stupid fun. Graphics are terrible, voice acting is camp, and the story is ludicrous (Tesla uses a weather-controlling power glove to defeat Edison, who created robots to win the AC/DC war), but the gameplay is fun and a bit inventive. I'd love to see a fully-fleshed-out version of this with an actual budget, but it's still worth the 3$ asking price. (Finally, an indie who recognizes that they shouldn't be charging 15$ for 4 hours of entertainment.) Edit to add score: 5/7; it won't shock your socks off, but it's still fun and I respect that.
