Elementals is a puzzle game by Boss Games created for the New Nintendo 3DS on New Years Eve. It stars different Elementals trying to get back home.

Gameplay

The gameplay of Elementals is simple. Using each Elemental given, you need to get them home. To do that however, you'll have to bypass obstacles by combining different elementals together. For example, to put out a fire if you weren't given water, you could mix Fire & Ice to cause Water to pour down on the fire. You can also combine two Elementals of the same type to get a powered-up version of their ability. Electricity + Electricity would cause a massive blast of well, electricity to rain down. However, you need to be careful not to destroy other elementals.

If you used Fire while near Ice, while it could create Water it would also destroy the ice. If you used Fire right next to ice, both would be destroyed as the water would put Fire out. Each elemental can also pass through different obstacles unharmed to reach switches or buttons. Fire can walk through fire, electricity can walk on Electric Panels, etc.

Story

80 Years after World War III, Humanity had wiped itself out. Families failed to escape the planet as the nukes fell and the explosions swallowed up the city. Eventually a new species came into existance - Elementals. The Elementals decided to explore this new planet, and find out what the hell happened here. Each Elemental split into groups to explore as each of them had their own benefits. The only two who didn't split into a group were Life & Death, girlfriend and boyfriend, who instead would try to talk to the Elementals through some old communication systems they found. Unfortunately for all the elementals, there are many obstacles, mutated animals, and more still inhabitating the planet of Earth.

Elemental Party

Elemental Party is a brand new mode added in the Party Time! Update. In Elemental Party, you choose a character out of every elemental and a level theme/board to play on, the DLC elementals and level themes do require that dlc to use. There's also some boards not based off of any existing themes that are based off of scrapped level themes. The goal of Elemental Party is simple - using a amount of turns (chosen at the menu as well as CPU Difficulty) to get the most diamonds as possible. The winner is sent to the Party Square where they get to show off their dance moves infront of every elemental in the game, with the player choosing from a list of dance moves. After all the elementals have moved, a minigame is randomly chosen.

Reception

When Elementals was first announced at E3 2015, nearly everyone was skeptical assuming it would flop. However when it came out, the game was a hit, with the average review score being 8/10. It has been popular enough to score a entire DLC featuring brand new elementals that weren't added in the base game.

DLC

Sweet DLC ($5.00)

Released 2/8/16, the Sweet DLC included a brand new theme for levels - Candy. It also included a Level Maker where people with the dlc can create & share custom levels with eachother, and they get to choose what elementals the player has and how many. Sweet DLC also introduced 3 new Elementals: Chocolate, Wind, and Cosmic.

The Castle DLC ($2.50)

Released 3/6/16, The Castle DLC adds a brand new Castle Theme and a ton more challenging levels to test your skills, with some of the challenging levels being locked unless you get the Sweet DLC (As they use features only in the Sweet DLC). So far The Castle DLC is the only DLC to not add any new elementals.

Updates

All updates are for free and are compatible with DLC.

1/22/16: Party Time!

Released 1/22/16, Party Time! Features a brand new mode, a new elemental, and a new level theme.

1/29/16: The Big Update

Released 1/29/16, The Big Update is a big update that includes new elementals, amiibo support, new level themes, a new mode, and a couple other things.

Level Maker

In the Level Maker, you can create levels using level themes and a list of obstacles, as well as a list where you can add in elementals.

Obstacles

Level Themes

Name	Description
Field	A nice little field theme, it's the best place to take a break.
Forest	A area with tons of trees, beware of the falling apples.
Desert	The hottest level theme around, expect no water in here.
Candy	A Sweet place, there's lollipop trees, chocolate rivers, and more!
Castle	A dark and gloomy castle with jail cells, don't expect any happiness in here and remember to bring a light source!
Ocean	The wettest place in the world speaking of how it's entirely water, not many elementals can actually be in this theme due to the water.
Sky	It's the sky with tons of clouds, did I mention that clouds will dissapear if too many elementals are on them?
Ice	Full of slippery ice, and be careful with the fire elementals here... You may melt the entire theme and destroy your elementals!
Disco	Home to all the latest dances and music, the Disco is great for cheering people up.
Old School	Looks just like a old Gameboy game, it features barrels trying to kill you and a certain ape...
Giant Tree	Takes place inside of a giant tree. Fire elementals would probably melt it using common sense, oh and did we mention bugs are slowly eating up the entire tree and will eventually kill you?
Ruins	There's ancient ruins with hidden passages, treasure, treasure, and mostly more treasure. Oh, and nearly everywhere you go has a death trap waiting to murder you. Have fun!
Corrupted Mansion	A extremely dark corrupted mansion full of ghosts, walking paintings, bleeding books, and more. YOU KNOW, FOR KIDS!
Factory	A factory that's still running full of conveyor belts, and machines waiting to mash, burn, and many more unpleasant things.
Urban	A busy city full of moving cars, trains, subways, and airplanes. The strange thing is humanity was wiped out, so whats controlling this city?

Italics means that it's unlocked from a DLC

Bold means that it's unlocked from a Amiibo

-(STORY REWRITE COMING SOON) One night, some Elementals were having a good time. Fire was cooking hotdogs, Water was cooling his burnt hotdog off, and Electricity was showing off his powers to the others. Suddenly, Death came and kidnapped all of the elementals by putting them in his bag. He then threw the bag into the river causing the bag to be swept away. Eventually, after going down a waterfall, all the elementals woke up hanging on a tree. Now the Elementals need to get back home and grab Life to defeat Death. Life was the only elemental who was strong enough to defeat Death- also Life was Death's girlfriend.
