The one game I can never quit
Personally: I've been playing this game on and off for over 20 years now. I even went to meetups in Finland to meet other kuskis (Elasto Mania players). Three times so far... The game has become an integral part of my life, and I've made some good friends playing it. So yes, safe to say this is not an unbiased review. What is Elma? Conceptually it's a simple game: A 2D motorcycle game where you must first collect some apples and then a flower. Don't hit your head. That's pretty much it. Physics: One of Elma's most appealing aspects in my opinion is that underneath the deceptively simplistic exterior hides a deep and complex game with totally nuts physics that takes, no kidding, years to master. It may seem slow and weirdly syrupy at first, but trust me you will still find it too fast when you realise the level of finesse, accuracy and consistency that's required to be competitive. Community: With the unofficial online patch Elma Online (or EOL for short) you'll be able to compete with other kuskis in live battles. Or perhaps, if you're out of your mind, you'll try to set a world record in one of the 54 classic levels that come with the game, whose records have been honed and perfected to the point of absurdity over the years. You'll also find hundreds of additional level packs and tens of thousands of levels that have accumulated over the game's lifespan. Conclusion: Whether you're a casual player who just wants to check out an old classic, or a competitive player who wants to test your might on a new battleground, you should get this game. And don't hesitate to hop on the Discord server if you need help. Happy driving
