Graphics are very minimalist but serve their purpose, game is extremely short however, and the gameplay mecahnics feel very shallow. Theme is also followed loosely.

There are three elements, Water, Fire, and Earth which you need to keep from destroying each other. To do this you collect orbs of each type and deliver them to the corresponding shrines. However, you can only hold so many orbs of a type before being overcharged by that element and taking damage over time. The more orbs you hold over the limit, the worse it is!\n\nControls: W,A,S,D keys or Arrow Keys, or Controller D-Pad \/ Control stick. (Note: If your controller doesn't respond to the very first d-pad press, don't worry it should work after that one. Need to get around to addressing that).\n\nTools:\n- C++ with Visual Studio 2015\n- SDL (http:\/\/libsdl.org\/download-2.0.php)\n- Audacity to record + free piano app on my phone to produce sounds\n\nTeam:\n- Myself: Coding, audio, game content\n- My lovely wife: All the art (she was only available for a few hours this weekend)\n\n3rd-party resource credits:\n- Orbitron font (https:\/\/fonts.google.com\/specimen\/Orbitron?selection.family=Orbitron)\n\nScreenshots:\n![Title.png](\/\/\/content\/6e0\/9\/z\/ced2.png)\n\n![screenshot.png](\/\/\/raw\/6e0\/9\/z\/cf0b.png)\n\n\nThere's so much more I'd love to do, and will keep poking away at this project now that the pressure of time is no longer hovering over.
