Teslapunk key art — Emperor Zangórax commanding the Martian invasion

The invasion

Martian invasion,
1899

Emperor Zangórax, a popular Martian DJ, launches a full-fledged invasion on Earth. The only person who stands a chance against the Emperor and his henchmen is Nikola Tesla and his powerful, high-voltage weapons.

Take control of Tesla's space ship and fight back against the invaders across two very different game modes — a hand-crafted arcade campaign and a frantic endless runner. Every stage brings fresh bullet patterns to learn and enemies to master.

“DJ by night. Frantic invader by day.”
— Emperor Zangórax, live on Mars TV

Watch the side of your screen: Zangórax broadcasts his own TV channel mid-battle, commenting on your every move… until he becomes the final boss himself.

Two ways to play

Two modes,
two beasts

Arcade and Survival are completely different games inside one cartridge. Master both.

Mode 01 · Main event

Arcade mode

A hand-crafted, level-based bullet-hell shooter. Six stages, score attacks and epic, music-synced bosses.

Enter the arcade →

Mode 02 · Endless

Survival mode

A totally different endless runner. Dodge endless waves, grab coins and upgrade your ship in the Teslamart.

Mode 01 · The main event

Arcade mode

The classic. A fast, hand-crafted 2D bullet-hell shmup — fight through all six levels of the Martian invasion and chase the top of the leaderboard.

Six unique levels

Each stage is hand-crafted with its own look, soundtrack and enemy set — from blueprint grids to raw lightning.

Voltage Burst

Unleash the burst to cancel every bullet into score, blast enemies away and fly invulnerable — for a short, glorious moment.

Risk-reward scoring

Cancel bullets to push the score multiplier and your rank — the difficulty answers in real time.

Music-synced bosses

Gameplay is time-scripted and orchestrated with the soundtrack — even boss patterns fire in sync with the beat.

Mars TV

Zangórax broadcasts his own channel mid-battle and taunts you live — until he drops in as the final boss.

Missions & gallery

Arcade missions to complete and unlockable reward art — earned in-game, not spoiled here.

VOLTAGE TANK

Signature mechanic

Voltage Boost

Every enemy frowns at the sight of your powerful voltage boost. Bullets turn into score multiplier, enemies get blasted away and your ship is invulnerable.

Collect blue energy cubes to fill your voltage tanks, then execute the voltage blast at will. Chain the bursts, ride the multiplier — but beware, the rank system answers by cranking the difficulty up in real time.

Bullets cancel into score
Ship becomes invulnerable
Super-charged laser overload

Unique design

Six worlds,
one current

Each level features unique visuals, music and enemy characteristics. Learn every enemy's weakness and study their bullet patterns for the best scoring possibilities.

Industrial Steel

Girders, pistons and pistons of bullets.

Redline Velocity

Everything moves faster. So must you.

Technical Drawings

Blueprints come alive and fire back.

Organic Horror

A living, breathing machine of flesh.

Pure Electricity

Lightning webs and raw voltage.

Mars

Zangórax's domain. The final showdown.

Arcade in action

Mode 02 · A different beast

Survival mode

Forget hand-crafted stages — this is a totally different, more casual endless runner. Dodge endless waves of enemies and see how long you can keep the coil glowing.

Endless waves, one life. React, dodge and survive as the screen fills with bullets and enemies pour in from every side.

Along the way you grab coins and power-ups. Spend the coins in the Teslamart between runs to level up your ship and buy helpful items — the longer you survive, the deeper you can upgrade.

The Teslamart

Spend coins on permanent ship upgrades
Buy shields, magnets, time-freeze and more
Push your build further every run

How long can you survive? One life · endless waves · coins & Teslamart upgrades.
