PSA: As of Chrome 42 (Released April 14th), NPAPI plugins are disabled by default! That means Unity Player, Java, and Silverlight games will not work in the Chrome browser! That said, Flash in the Chrome browser continues to work fine (PPAPI).
To Developers: Consider using HTML5 and WebGL instead. Having troubles with the export? Don’t worry. See Ports below.
To Players: A workaround is to enable NPAPI plugins in your Chrome settings. Click or Copy+Paste this URL in to a tab:
As of September 2015 however, this option will no longer be available.
Other browsers (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari) and Flash are unaffected, but FWIW there is no Unity Player or Silverlight for Linux.X
Elements
This game was programmed for the Ludum Dare 32. Unfortunately I couldn't finish like I intended to do. The goal of this prototype is to destroy all the rocket towers with the help of the four elements. Fire attacks an enemy in a short range, Water blocks bullets, Wind blows enemies in a short range away, Earth lets rocks fall from heaven and makes damage to all enemies on the screen (Wind hasn't been implemented in this version yet). At first I intended to implement walking enemies aswell but I ran out of time.
You have to click on the game, before you can start the game. If the player doesn't move when the game is started, reload the page and wait a little bit longer. It needs sometimes a little bit longer to load all the sounds.
Controls:
- WAD for walking/jumping
- Left mouse click for performing action of mode (protection / attack)
- 1-4 for switching Modes (1: Fire, 2: Water, 3:Wind, 4: Earth)
Used tools
Dart, vim, sfxr, gimp, hydrogen
Have fun

I like the various takes on abilities via the elements, though wasn't the theme unconventional weapons, not the four elements?
@Domus Umbrae:
Depends on how you define it. LD is open for different interpretations.
Hey, nice idea. I think I win the game, somehow, but I passed above last montain and get gliched O_o. Air doesnt make anything, or I dont know how to use it. Also, Water get bugged and I was perma invul!
Anyway good job doing the game, the important thing is to make it.
@Domus Umbrea:
I didn't realize until now that "Four Elements" was in the Final Voting round aswell =D
The game seem to just freeze when I fall into the first hole.
Indeed an unconventional weapon :D I like the animations and the simplicity of it. Overall a good game and I am sure it would be even better with a bit more time :)
Controls are flimsy. Visuals are pretty good, however, audio was OK, but no sfx, or at least none that I noticed. Would've been a lot more fun if the controls were better!
While it doesn't seem like it was made for the right theme, this was still an interesting game to play around with. It would be nice if there were more uses for each of the elements, as it currently doesn't seem like Earth is worth using over Fire. Also, needing to reload the game between plays is a bit annoying. Other than that, good job~
I don't really like that you used four elements instead of unconventional weapon as your theme, and controls felt a bit odd
Hahaha Nice idea this implementation of the four elements, but a bit.. "out" of theme ;D
Btw nice job!
Not bad at all. Liked the idea about the weapons. The gameplay was a little jerky but still playable. Good job.
Interesting variety on the weapons. Although the control were to clumsy and I quit before finishing the game. Polishing the controls and having a "tutorial" were you go through each weapons would make it a very nice game!

Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
Game is fun and easy. Autoaimed rockets is good idea. You can not overrun your doom.
