In Tesla Breaks the World!, Nikola Tesla’s latest invention is damaged during an encounter with Thomas Edison, opening a quantum space tear. Tesla must travel across country, city, and laboratory to confront his rival and repair the disrupted world. That comic science-fiction premise gives the adventure a distinctive setting for its blend of classic 2D platforming and puzzle solving.
Progress revolves around inventions that offer new ways to tackle puzzles, including magnifying transmitters, remote controls, hover platforms, and Tesla Coils. Unlockable pigeons can assist Tesla, while puzzle-solving efficiency matters: the game says less efficient solutions make zombie appearances more likely. Randomly generated level sectors, puzzles, and environments also vary the playthrough, pairing familiar platforming with changing layouts rather than a wholly fixed route.
The game offers unlockable levels and mid-level checkpoints, or a Hard Mode with increased enemy spawns, no checkpoints, and perma-death.
