Telehack is a SF post-experiment-gone-horribly-wrong roguelikeish top-down fast paced shooty game. It's the kind of game in which eating a tin of canned meat give you an empty tin, which you can then use as a weapon or craft into weapons, armour or gadgets. The inventory and crafting interface is so efficient it hurts. Graphical style is faux-pixelated, with really funky colour tearing effects around weapons and the titular teleglitches. There's a demo, and it's pretty damn sweet. I've finished the first level once. Shizzle's hard yo.

I crafted a block of explosive, some nails and an empty can into a "cangun". I wasn't sure what it was or how to use it, but when I did it felt like the birth of a god.

    That reminded me of Silent Hill combined with Metal Slug and Half Life 1, if it ran on some kind of hyper-modded overclocked multi-processor Commodore 64.

    I've been playing the demo a lot but I haven't bought the full game yet, partially because I am stingy and poor and partially because I haven't beat the demo.

    This seems like a ton of fun!

    Intresting how IE which I pretty much only use won't load ns2stats.org, had to go to firefox to load it.

    Yea, Interesting how the least standards compliant browser, for all of it's existence and up to IE 10, the bane of web designers everywhere, doesn't work? Funny how that works.

    Also, what's that got to do with this awesome game?

    I think he meant to post in the website feedback forum thread about IE playing silly buggers with formatting. Somehow it ended up here. I don't quite know how to move his post over to another thread...

    Played the demo, and wow it was good. Pretty much an isometric version of the old DOOM games. I wish it wasn't so pixellated though, since reading the environment was pretty hard.

    Teleglitch: Die More Edition is out on steam now, and free to purchasers of the original Teleglitch. I haven't played it yet, but if it's anything like the original it'll be grand.
