Playtest Gameplay Compilation

Elementers is a free to play multiplayer game where you play, make level, unlock new abilities and elements and just have fun alone or with friends. The abilities are not static, they can be customized by the player similar to a loadout.

The 1 v 1 pvp duel arena is similar to Brawlhalla, the more damage you receive the higher the knockback effect is, the one who falls of the arena fist loses. I will add more pvp modes and in the future I'm planning to add a level editor and a simple visual scripting to give the player the ability to add player made pve story missions for co-op gameplay.

After 9 months of development I've finally had a playtest with my friend to test for ping problems, bugs or exploits, some things I've discovered include: 

• Really fun to play with friends: The chaotic nature of the gameplay gives the players a sense of panic, getting hit close to the edge while your dash and defensive abilities are on cooldown leaves you with no protection and the only survival tactic is dodging the projectiles and waiting for abilities to go off cooldown following by a moment of chill.
• Too cluttered, to many effects and particles, hard to see objects: its harder to understand what's happening especially as a beginner due to the level of stuff cluttering the screen. I will slowly improve on this with the help of the community if it gets one.
• Harder to pickup in the beginning: The complexity of abilities makes it harder to start playing directly, so I've added a training area in the main menu where the player can equip and familiarize themselves with abilities before playing, I will also add a tutorial and a video overview explanation to abilities similar to league of legends in the Abilities menu where the player can equip abilities, when hovering over an ability you will get a small video in the bottom left showing an example of how the ability is used.

• Low hacking protection: The server architecture is made with a server and client logic, but peer to peer trough steam relay, so at least 1 player will always be able to cheat. Currently I've have to add more cheat preventions but as long its peer to peer I will not be able to combat cheating, the server architecture is giving me the possibility to move to dedicated servers with minimal work, though those cost money and I'm a broke buay.

Overall I do have some more stuff do add and problems to fix and I will upload the Alpha version here until I manage to get 100$ to get a steam page and I will continue working and improving the game.

Expect bugs, problems and missing features in the first few versions.
