Elements Final
Click pictures to enlarge them.
Elements was one of the first games I ever came up with, I got the idea when I feel asleep... I was high at the time! I woke up and started making the game in Games Factory, which I no longer use. This is the very final version of the original elements concept, which has kept people angry for years. The object of the game is to balance the elements aswell as destroy them to gain points. Depending what colour you where you would "eat" one type of element and avoid another. I made it really obvious in the version of the game which ones to avoid, they have fricken Skulls on them and they flash.
Controls
Arrow Keys : Move your ship.
Spacebar : Resets your colour to white.
Game Rules
The object of the game is to collect as many coloured balls or "elements" as possible, without dying or letting any of the colours reaching the limit of 20.
To score points you must run in to an element while you are the white ship, this will change the ships colour. After that you must run in to the more visable elements and avoid the elements with flashing skulls on them. You may reset your colour by pressing the space bar, this will also reset your speed to the defualt speed. But be warned this will reset you MultiX which we will get on to later.
Here is how the universe works.

Every colour has a weakness and a strenght. Unlike the prevous versions for the last ten years I decided to make things a little easier on the player. The elements you have to avoid will be a flashing skull and anything you need to collect will be brightly lit up. Collecting elements in a row give you MultiX which adds the speed to the element on to itself. The scoring works like this (1 + (multix * speed)) , you probably did not need to know this but its intresting.
Betting
Select an element that you think will get over 20 units on the screen. If you guess correctly you get double your score, there is no punishment getting this wrong. You get no reward for losing all your lives.
The concept of this game is quite simple, yet the game itself is tricky. Like most of my games this will take time to actually get good at.
Remember have fun... its only a game!
