Great HQ game, could use some balancing

This is a great premium studio title. Lots of fun and challenging. However the progression could use some smoothing, I’ve made it to the “Mountain of Madness” and hit it like a brick wall. I’m currently resigned to farming crystals at 3-6 per level based on the plane bonus to grow stronger to take that one level. I’ve invested significant crystals into “epic” upgrades but they still come along very rarely, and it’s required to even have a CHANCE at the level I’m stuck on. There’s so many enemies and the weapons are so weak, there’s no way to kill them before the boss arrives and fills the level utterly solid with heat-seeking projectiles. The difficulty ramp was too high on this level and the crystals farming is very slow compared to upgrade costs. Hoping I don’t get burned out on the game during the long process it’ll take to buff Tesla up to have a chance at beating that level.

Epic!

(Update 2) Also there's something wrong with teleporting - it just won't work at seemingly random times (though usually it's when I'm right next to multiple monsters, and no it's not because I've used up my allotment of teleports) (Update 4/1/24) Downloaded to play again after not having played for a while. Still prefer this one over Tesla Force. Two problems - the bloom effect is causing flashes I'm pretty sure didn't use to happen (so I disabled them as it was annoying), and turning off phone vibrations in the options isn't working, which I'm pretty sure is an Apple iOS violation (as I think Apple requires it be an option for people with disabilities). I realize this game is old, but please fix! (end update). This is such an awesome game! Even after completing all three planes, I still go back and replay areas. Great graphics, music, and challenging dual stick shooter action! More content please! I'm a huge Lovecraft fan, so I'd love to see more creatures, etc from his mythos.

Love the game, tweak a few things

I Both love and hate this game ,reasons why: I’m never looking where the health bar should be and the health bar runs out too quickly. The enemy swarm too fast and some of guns seemed NERFED. I think there should be an easy and a hard mode. There should be a Facebook connection so the game is able to be played between apps. I have two different games going right now, one on my iPhone and one on my iPad. You should be able to teleport any distance you want. Thanks for making an addicting game that I enjoy. Yours kindly, PL

Great, but...

Great game, but please add the option to move the abilities button over to the right side of the screen next to the other input buttons for phone holding convenience, and also either make the pause button much bigger and/or have a much larger input circumference, or just have another way of pausing the game entirely like pressing the middle of the screen or something as it’s incredibly difficult to pause the game in the middle of the action. Other then that I can’t wait for the dlc so I can continue upgrading and taking on new levels and baddies. Thanks.

Fun, but one problem.

I’ll keep it short and sweet. It’s a fun game, and I love the HP Lovecraft/Tesla mix of it all. Only problem I have, is the movement and shooting controls. When I move my character the gun look around which is fine, but when I move the other joystick button it moves the gun around as well and I completely miss my enemies cuz the 2 movement buttons clash with each other. Only problem I have with it so far, so please fix the controls.

An Absolute Blast!

A very fun theme paired with fast-paced bulletfest gameplay. Reports of the game’s impossible difficulty towards the end are exaggerated. It certainly reaches a decent challenge, but I still wanted even more by the time I finished. Not to say I was unsatisfied, it was loads of fun & plan to follow the developers with future games.

Fun but crashes

I have enjoyed Lovecraft since I was a kid and appreciate the greatness of Tesla so I was sold the second I saw this title. Game play is easy to grasp, harder to master, but definitely enjoyable! The cons are small, mostly it’s crashed a few times, which is annoying but not a deal-breaker. What is however is the fact I’ve beat Wardenclyffe (last battle on the first level) three times and every time it has crashed. If this isn’t fixed I simply can’t recommend this (highly enjoyable) game.

Eh

***I’d love to know what the actual numbers are behind the Aether Distiller. I have 6 of the 10 slots purchased and am getting an epic perk at a WHOPPING 1.11%. That doesn’t include the 2 perks that I start with, which have never been epic. Considering the cost of the game, you’d expect much less grinding to be able to purchase anything of value. The whole random power up thing is straight out of the pay to play game model as well. To be truly honest, it’s like a less interesting version of Minigore 2, which was one of my favorite games. Maybe if you took some more cues from that game this one would be better. The graphics are great though, so good on you for that. If I had tried it before buying it, I have to say I would’ve passed in this one.

Tesla vs Lovecraft is a B-Movie style twin-stick shooter that hits all the right notes. Although a bit on the lengthy side, this title is worth every minute.
