Tesla: The Weather Man 1.01 Demo
Mar 8, 2011 Demo 0 commentsGet a better taste of our drastically improved game with better lightning, better levitation, and a peek at the third power: rain. Solve puzzles and fight...
In Tesla: The Weather Man you play as Nikola Tesla, right after Thomas Edison has gone mad with rage about a certain famousĀ hydroelectric dam. Edison unleashes legions of vengeful DC-powered robots, and it's up to you to stop him. Fortunately, Tesla has a few inventions up his sleeve (literally) that the general public never knew about.
With a powerful weather control glove you'll be flooding valleys to short-circuit your foes, levitating boxes and freezing lakes to solve puzzles, and let's not forgetĀ lightning!
There's only one way to stop Edison's madness and establish once and for all that you are the true greatest man of science.
Your science needs you!

It's hard to believe that Tesla: The Weather Man has already been out for two months, and now we've decided to honor Tesla's obsession with the number three by slashing the price to 1/3rd, or $9.99!
Check out some of the great reviews the game has been getting:
"Tesla: The Weather Man is the most surprising game I've played this year, and for many reasons. It's not only surprisingly addictive, . . . but it's also ridiculously well made for a two man team."

"It's simply brilliant and intelligent fun; wittily written, accessible, endearing, enjoyable and well balanced. It's a credit to the small team at Thoughtquake Studios and some larger, more seasoned, games companies should take a long look at what has been crafted here and learn some valuable lessons about how to get things right."

why is this not on desura?
Want Linux Version!
Nikola Tesla vs Edison my dream come true (of course i'm cheering for Tesla because,i don't brag, but he is from my country). I'll try demo...
so hows sales?
@Thoughtquake :
+1 On the "most linux users would buy this as a reflex reaction just because it's 'Tesla vs Edison' *and* runs natively on linux" comments. Though it's sad I had to find out about this game by accidentally logging in to my windows partition. I need to check if Desura works on linux ...
PS. Ignore the 11-year-old asking for this to be free. Though he does raise a good point; this would make an *excellent* addition to the next humble indie bundle Humblebundle.com (where, again, note how much money linux users spend compared to mac or windows users. You've definitely got a market there!)
As for help for painlessly porting to linux, Icculus.org is a good (and apparently friendly and helpful) starting point, and a personal hero of mine, as he seems to have ported all the best games (indie or not) to linux (and, my understanding is, in some cases, without a 'cut', but rather to promote the OS as a viable gaming system, or just because he felt the game deserved to exist on linux.)
Man guys. i love Tesla. And i think he that westington was murdered by Edison. If tesla was alive, the would be energy in the air that we could harness. The man was a genios.
what?
Played the demo, quite a lot of fun.
+1 for linux version - this game looks very cool on the video - classic mechanics, but unique gameplay quirks - this brings high expectations if the game would all consist of such unique or at least non-cloned puzzles with no fillers. If it had native linux version, would have bought it with no delay, for sure most linux users would do the same - especially with this scientific storyline theme - all those geeks would be all yours cause this is 100% auditory match.
Please make it so that we don't need to pay :x
You can if you want, but most people just cant pay(like me, I'm 11 and my mum doesn't get much money)
Also, where I live I'm too young to get money.
