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

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.

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.
