Why no indication on the HUD of your number of teleport charges?

[Dragon]

I noticed a major problems with the design of this game.

As far I can tell, there is no marker on the HUD that indicates how many teleport charges you have stored. This is vital information that needs to be displayed on the HUD. It's essential for being able to make informed choices about when to teleport, and when not to.

Why doesn't the game have this? They should add it via a patch.

I think it's a story decision; the devs assume that Tesla can count to 10 in his head.

But no one is able to count properly whilst hundreds of rabid monsters are swarming all up in his face at the same time.

So they need to add a teleport charge count to the HUD for both gameplay reasons and for story reasons too.

But the number of teleport charges is clearly visible.
It's the arrows right in front of Tesla. The number of lit arrows is the number of times you can teleport before they recharge.

I didn't know that. It's not like the game tells you that at any point, does it? I've beat the first two planes so far and I don't remember ever having the game tell me that.

I'm not faulting you for that.
First time I noticed that was after I had upgraded the teleport to have more charges (because the arrows increase in number).
Maybe I shouldn't have used the word "clearly".

This is where the tutorial could be improved, but I can't come up with any good suggestions for how that could be done best.

I don't think a tutorial for that or a hint is needed, it was rather obvious to me.

I figured it out on my own bro... pay attention... you have 5 arrows... then you teleport around few times then you have less arrows... then you teleport more times then you have no arrows, and you cannot teleport anymore... its very simple... like really... :)
