Tesla's Electric Mist is a classic point and click adventure game revolving around the mysterious Nikola Tesla, a time traveling device he invented, and a big experiment gone wrong for the citizens of Colorado Springs in 1899. The elegant graphics of the game really bring the creative puzzles and story to life. Search for clues and solve the puzzles as the imaginative story unfolds.

iPhoneLife on 01/11/2013:
"There's no question that the developer has a deep fondness for this style of game play, and there are plenty of puzzles to solve and mini-games to conquer. ... The visuals are pretty slick. ... Adventure game fans won't be disappointed with this offering. The world looks great, the puzzles are designed to keep everything moving at a decent pace, and there's more than enough to do to make the journey feel worthwhile. I'm eager to see what adventures iCoolGeeks will take us on next."

TouchMyApps on 12/02/2012:
"... I was so excited to see it finally come out. ... There is plenty of challenge, but you'll never feel like you've really gotten stuck anywhere. The graphics are among the best I've seen in an iOS adventure game, and there's enough to do that you'll never get bored. ... this is one top notch product."

AppStorm on 06/03/2013:
"Framed as a Myst-like adventure, Tesla's Electric Mist eschews comedy and dialogue for mystery and extra puzzles. ... It won't drive you crazy or consume your life for days on end, but it'll exercise your brain for a few hours."

Android-Games on 12/16/2012:
"Looking for an adventure full of mystery, intrigue, and electricity? ... can you say kick ass?"

In Tesla's Electric Mist, iCOOLgeeks really wanted to create a world and story that you could immerse yourself in for a while as you wander the streets of Colorado Springs, or search through Tesla's work shop. It was important to us that the puzzles be fun, challenging, and that they build upon the story and lead seamlessly into the next puzzle.

In the game, you are the hero. Your family has a history with the great Nikola Tesla, inventor of the radio, alternating current, and patent holder of hundreds of electrical inventions. Your great-great-grandfather worked for Tesla in Colorado Springs around the turn of the century. A family secret has been passed down over the generations since then, that some day Tesla would need your family's help once more. What this means, no one in your family really knows. But the time has come, and you will be the one to answer the call.

Using a time traveling device invented by Tesla, you travel back in time to Colorado Springs, and only you will have it in your power to save the people of Colorado Springs, and in fact, Tesla himself, from an experiment gone terribly wrong.

Features:
* The classic point and click adventure game re-imagined for touch devices
* Elegant artwork in every scene
* A story line that draws you into the mystery
* Almost 200 scenes with dozens of puzzles that build upon each other
* Beautiful soundtrack and sound effects
* In-game hint guide, for those tough to beat puzzles
* A dynamic map that keeps track of your progress
* Important clues you come across are recorded automatically in your trusty notepad
* Professionally translated into several languages - with more to come
* Currently available for iOS - Android, Kindle Fire, and Nook versions to be out soon

Device Requirements:
*iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 5.1 or later
* 151 MB

Mount Olympus - From the creators of Tesla's Electric Mist - Published on 03/22/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Utah based iCOOLgeeks today introduce Mount Olympus 1.1.3, their new point and click adventure game developed for iOS and Android. The Greek Gods have gone missing, and you're just the hero to solve the mystery and bring them back. Re-imagined to work beautifully on touch devices, Mount Olympus is designed specifically to be simple, yet gripping and challenging at every turn. The elegant graphics of the game really bring the creative puzzles and story to life.

West Jordan, Utah - iCOOLgeeks, the creators of the popular Tesla's Electric Mist, today are excited to announce the release of Mount Olympus 1.1.3, their new point and click adventure game developed for iOS and Android. Mount Olympus is a classic point and click adventure game re-imagined to work beautifully on tablet and touch devices. The elegant graphics of the game really bring the creative puzzles and story to life.

The Greek Gods have gone missing, and you're just the hero to solve the mystery and bring the Gods back. Search for clues and solve the puzzles as the imaginative story unfolds.

Mount Olympus is designed specifically to be simple, yet gripping and challenging at every turn. Unlike other adventure games, Mount Olympus has been crafted in a way that makes getting lost next to impossible. So instead of floundering around, unsure of where to turn, you'll be lost in the elegance of the art, and the story instead.

You are the hero, sent on a quest to Mount Olympus by your village elders to discover why the Gods have gone missing. Your quest begins as you enter the city of Olympus, which stretches out, covering the base of the great mountain of the Gods.

With your only companions being a lonely soldier left to guard the abandoned city, and a magical clockwork owl given to you by the goddess Athena, you must search through the abandoned ancient city looking for clues, solving puzzles. Slowly you make your way to the top of the great mountain, in hopes of solving the mystery laid out before you and returning the great and powerful Gods to their glory.

Features:
* The classic point and click adventure game re-imagined for touch devices
* Elegant artwork in every scene
* Never feel lost
* 10x the puzzles & 3x as long in game play
* Almost 300 scenes to play through
* In-game hint system that literally shows you where to click next if needed
* Auto-solve feature for getting past the puzzles you just can't figure out
* Collect an inventory of items along the way to help you progress
* A dynamic map that keeps track of your progress
* Important clues you come across are recorded automatically for you
* Translated into 10 languages for the release
* Runs on both iOS and Android
* Being released on Apple, Google Play, and Amazon app stores simultaneously

"With the success of our last point-and-click adventure game, Tesla's Electric Mist, we've gone back to the drawing board," said Tyler Parsons, owner and lead developer of iCOOLgeeks, "adjusting our core game engine, adding all the elements our fans requested. Our fans begged for a longer game (they were sad to see it end). Mount Olympus will be double the chapters, and is expected to be 3x as long in game play as Tesla. You wanted more puzzles; how's 10x the puzzles sound? Although we never once heard a complaint about our easy to use in-game map and hint guide, we've improved them immensely. With our new in-game hint system, we literally will show you exactly where to click if you need that level of help. With so many puzzles to work through, we felt it would be awesome to have an auto-solve system for your convenience on those really tough puzzles."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 5.1 or later
* 161 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Mount Olympus 1.1.3 is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide through the App Store in the Games category. There is also an Android version available on Google Play.
