"Elements" is a compound of uniqueness, greatness, and excitement

Dash games, find-the-hidden themed games, and match three games - if you're fed up with all those three, enjoy an exciting new twist in casual gaming here in this uniquely creative game called "Elements".

The concept of the game begins with the four elements of the universe (as taught by the Greek philosopher Empedocles): the fire, the earth, the water, and the air. With this concept, one progresses through the game in pursuit to discover the fifth mystery element and all the other undiscovered elements of nature which you will use to formulate the Elixir of Life, a hypothetical substance that is believed to turn one's mortality into immortality.

The game may appear hard to understand during the first levels of the game, but as you go through it, you will eventually discover its primary goal: to combine all similar [small] elements in the board into one big element.

The game may seem easy during the first rounds, but as you go further, you'll be going through hell. There is a clever mixture of logic, find-and-seek skills, and numerical analysis as well. In this game, there is no such thing as "game over", instead there are things like delays, time-consuming parts, deluging rounds, wrong moves, and many other factors that will test your logic skills and even patience. Also, a board in some levels may surprise you with countless tiles [which you all have to combine] and may make you feel bored or exhausted.

The graphics are outstanding. The backgrounds are captivating, like those in 3d screensavers. The elements are finely detailed. The music and the sound effects are bewitching. These factors just add to the fun and excitement.

If you're looking for fast-paced gaming experience combined with uniqueness, greatness, and excitement in one package, this addictive game is just for you.

Easy to learn, Hard to master

The basic mechanic of this game is to match elements of the same size to fuse them into larger elements. There's little indicators on the bottom of the screen showing you how many matches of each elements you need to finish the level.

The genius part is that you cannot fail. If you run out of matches the board expands, giving you more choices to make matches. In order to excel, the trick is making combos. Making combo charges the element, allowing it to swap between sizes to complete the stages without having to expand the board.

What I loved about this game is that it is easy enough for small children to win, but is deep and challenging enough for me to master with strategy.

Elements

I was forutnate enough to be one of the evaluators for this game and absolutely fell in love with it. That was a couple of months ago and I looked for it for the following few months without success and finally found it here about a month and a half ago. I DLd it and used up the time in one sitting! This is a very challenging game with a good bit to do and learn in it. The site I do the evaluations for hasn't carried this game and that is what I was waiting for but I'm going nuts not being able to play it so tonight I finally bought it at full price and that's OKAY!!!! Guess what I'm going to be doing for the next couple of days? ecg

I liked it.

This game was perhaps one of the best games I've ever played for taking my mind off of reality. The object is to combine the like elements, but what's more, is to actually win, you not merely have to think outside the box... You have to think practically outside of time. You have to be able to anticipate your next moves in order to get an expert level. However, if you aren't trying to get an expert level, you can still have fun, just deciding what to do next. A game definitely for the teens or older, though a child could probably still have fun matching the shapes.
