Spark to a flame.

Teslagrad, a steampunkish side-scrolling adventure with electrifying mechanics, great audio, and charming visuals, is available 20% off on GOG.com.

[url=http://www.gog.com/game/teslagrad][/url]Teslagrad presents you with an intriguing story that will capture both your imagination, and your heart. In this non-linear puzzle platformer, you'll be utilizing the powers of magnetism and electricity to unlock the many secrets of the abandoned Tesla Tower. With over 100 beautiful hand-drawn environments and rich and immersive--yet voiceless--storytelling, this competent title has every chance to become one of the shining gems of its somewhat crowded genre. The creators went out of their way, to create an experience that will draw you in and keep you invested in the adventure. No loading screens, no GUI, just the mesmerizing soundtrack, the intriguing puzzles, the colorful gameworld, and you.

I played the alpha for this game a while back. It's awesome. Quite a unique take on platformer puzzles due to the magnets. Going to have to pick this up soon.

Can we link the enigmatic hint to this game, or must it be for some other (2014?) release? Enquiring minds want to know...

Heia Norge \m/

It does look rather nice, although I much prefer this trailer. Still, mid-December (or December in general) is really bad time to be releasing one's game. I'm definitely considering picking it up, but I know most people probably won't due to all the sales going on as well as the upcoming mother-of-them-all Steam sale.

Leroux: Seriously, what's with GOG releasing all these puzzle platformers lately?
Their devious plan of attacking your bank account is working!

Out of all this platformers released lately only this one found its way to my wishlist. :)

Nice graphics, nice music, nice animations.
Wishlisted until I find out if its a break the controller in ragequit hard, or a more tolerable, enjoyable experience.

The music in the trailer is really nice. Simple but well-written.

Why another PUZZLE Platformer... Not a critique to gog but to the developers in general: wtf is wrong with a normal platformer.... Castle of Illusion, Ducktales, Giana Sisters were fun, these just get annoying...

Devs must be very brave, or insane. Launching during all the holiday sales is crazy.
Posted December 13, 2013
Aw, this looks like a game I would absolutely love, but my wallet is slapping my hand when I reach for it. T^T I guess I'll wait until near the end of the Winter sale, and depending on the damage done by then, I'll either grab it or wait for... another sale. :)

... still, steampunk Europe. Visual storytelling. And Tesla. T^T

Austrobogulator: Wait, this is a terrible time to release new games o_O
Yep, terrible timing - at least it comes with a week long 20% discount, so kind of blends with the sales.
Posted December 13, 2013
Yeah, in between that dirt cheap Trine 2 release and the current sales, this does seem like a bad time to release this game.

Looks potentially fun, though. Might buy a copy sometime early next year, or so, unless it somehow ends up with terrible reviews.

"Why another NORMAL Platformer... Not a critique to gog but to the developers in general: wtf is wrong with a puzzle platformer.... Trine, Braid, La Mulana were fun, these just get annoying..."

... See what I did there?

Seriously, what's the point in complaining about a specific (sub-)genre of games, just because you don't like it? Obviously there's a demand for these games, or there wouldn't be so many of them. And this does look like a good game, at least judging by the screenshots.

P1na: They should release Grim Fandango. I would be interested to see the fight for our $ between long awaited awesome oldies and great sales

Stooner: There would be blood. And would be fun to watch....
My bet on Grim Fandango emerging victorious.
And your Avatar suggests some bias regarding that prediction there... :-D
