❤ Manipulating Polarity

At the heart of the gameplay, players acquire the ability to reverse the polarity of objects, causing them to either attract or repel one another. Strategically using these magnetic properties forms the basis for the game's puzzle-platforming challenges. For instance, players might need to flip the polarity of a series of platforms to create a path across a chasm, or reverse the magnetism of an obstacle to propel themselves to a new area. The magnetic mechanics continuously evolve, introducing new complexities that keep the puzzles fresh and engaging.

❤ Interconnected Exploration

The game world of Teslagrad features a Metroidvania-style design, with the central Tesla Tower acting as a hub that connects various regions. As players explore the tower and uncover new abilities, such as the blink skill that allows them to teleport short distances, they can access previously inaccessible areas. This encourages backtracking and revisiting locations, as players discover new paths and secrets. The game strikes a balance, providing enough guidance to keep players progressing without feeling overly directed.

❤ Demanding Platforming Challenges

Teslagrad blends puzzle-solving with precise platforming, presenting players with increasingly complex challenges. Early on, the puzzles may involve simple manipulations of the magnetic fields, but they gradually become more demanding, requiring keen timing, pattern recognition, and spatial awareness. For instance, players might need to shift polarities in sync with moving platforms to reach new heights, or blink between repelling surfaces to navigate treacherous gauntlets.

❤ Formidable Boss Encounters

In addition to the puzzle-platforming focus, the game features several notable boss battles that put the player's mastery of the magnetic mechanics to the test. These encounters often require quick reflexes and the ability to read and respond to complex patterns of attacks. Many players consider the boss fights to be some of the most challenging and memorable moments in the experience.

❤ Uncovering Hidden Lore

Scattered throughout the world are 36 scrolls that players can discover. Collecting these scrolls provides additional context to the game's story and lore, as well as unlocks an alternative ending for those who find them all. The process of searching for and obtaining these optional collectibles adds an extra layer of exploration and challenge, extending the game's replayability.
