Elementals (video game)

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, free updates, and more.

Hornet Choir 	Interrupt this Choir, and you'll have to run like hell. The good news is that Rock Elementals simply find the stings tickling. Atleast you can use your trust Music Elementals to distract them to pass by them. Oh, and their singing can make Elementals fall asleep making them unable to move for a few minutes, good thing Music Elementals are immune to that!
Metroid/Alien Creature 	A weird Alien Creature found on Other Planet, it can suck the life out of Elementals rendering them unusable until the Alien Creature is taken down. You'll need a Cosmic Elemental handy for these guys!
Donkey Kong/Strange Ape	Some sort of Ape that seems to love throwing barrels, you'll need to find a way to avoid his barrels if you want to live!
Ridley/Alien Creature 2	Another weird Alien Creature found on Other Planet, there's only 1 piece of advice you can be given - RUN. LIKE. HELL. Able to take down Elementals in one hit, can move fast, and shoot fireballs to burn every Elemental down.
Lunar Ostrich 	Flightless birds that have huge heads and dark personalities, you'll be better off not having any Light Elementals near these guys, as they target light!
Maiasaurus 	Dinosaurs that got revived from the Nuclear War, they're usually harmless. Just don't go near their young or attack their young or you'll regret it.
Giant Mosquito 	A gigantic Mosquito that can suck all the blood and life out of a Elemental, you'll have to get a Giant Toad near them or them near a Giant Toad for them to be destroyed. Life is Immune to Giant Mosquitos.

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?
Other Planet 	Beware of this place, there's some weird alien creatures we've found here... Atleast Elementals can survive here.
Tropical Rainforest	A place full of rain, rivers, and murderous frogs, this is not a ideal vacation place for most Elementals.
Volcano 	A dangerous area that erupts from time to time, only Elementals able to survive lava could survive in here, every other Elemental has a 5 minute timer unless they find a way to cool themselves off (resetting the timer back to 5)
Mushroom Forest 	A destroyed forest full of Mushrooms & Bouncy Leaves, Fire Elementals would burn down the entire forest while Water Elementals would end up reviving it by destroying the Mushrooms.
Museum 	A abandoned Museum that survived the Nuclear War, it's full of moving dinosaur fossils, possessed medieval armor, creepy security cameras, and much much more.
Weird Desert 	A desert town of some sort with strange creatures called Mr. Saturns that luckily are harmless. The Weird Desert has a oasis where all the Elementals can regain their energy.
Inside Jabu-Jabu 	A place inside of a giant fish that's slippery and has jellyfish creatures. If a jellyfish or a Electric Elemental touches the ground, then the entire place gets shocked killing all non-jellyfish creatures and non-Electric Elementals.
Thunderstorm 	A extremely dangerous place in the sky where thunderclouds form. With thunderbolts, mythical creatures, and a giant plane to encounter, this area is extremely hard.
Abyss 	Even deeper underwater than the ocean theme, this place connects to the seafloor and is basically always completely dark unless you have a Light Elemental. Sharks and Angler Fish use the darkness as camoflauge, and only the bravest can survive down here.
Core 	Taking place in the core of the planet, covered with tons of dirt and monsters. Like the Volcano, non-fire Elementals have to stay cool so their timer doesn't go down. Can only be accessed after the game has been completed.
