Development on this game has been discontinued. All who played this game, i'm sorry. I lost interest.

Each is set in a different part in the world...
The elements are Fire,Water,Earth,Nature,
and Darkness...
Should one gather all five orbs,one shall head
to the Cave of Elements...
There,one shall find the Altar of Elements...
One shall combine the orbs at the altar...
 
If one with a pure heart combines the orbs,
the orb of light will be produced...
If one with a dark heart combines the orbs,
the orb of chaos will be produced..."

Some screens (sorry if they look bad):







Critiques: The game may look a bit amateurish,as it's my first.
Some maps are made by me (e.g dungeons,caves),and some are samples (e.g field).
As i'm not too good at drawing enemies,it uses the default ones plus some that have a different hue.
 
Here is the download link to the first demo (second demo is coming out soon)
EDITemo updated. The first three stone road tiles behind your spawn point in the town are now exits,to prevent confusion.
Update: Demo 2 is out! Third and last demo is in the works.

Well the first thing I ran into, there are no Exit points in the town you start in front of. I'm trapped!

The exit point should be behind the tile you spawn on when you enter the town. It's the middle one.

The exit point should be behind the tile you spawn on when you enter the town. It's the middle one.

I'd suggest either marking the exit well (put a trail there) or making all tiles that leave off the map an exit. That will help prevent this error.

I'll look into that.

Demo 2 is finally out! Sorry for the long wait,i have been busy with other stuff.

Some notable changes:

• Removed a chest containing a certain shield in a certain cave.
• Eric's house has been extended to 2 extra rooms and 1 extra floor,to be friendly with the outside look.
• Exit/entrance points! They look like circles. Not every place has an exit/entrance point,especially where it is obvious without it.

Demo 3 is in the works. I'll try not to make it a month-long wait this time.

Have fun!

(EDIT: It might actually be a month-long wait)
