4 The Elements: Let's Play Part 1 | Intro + the Fire Realm!
44 The Elements is a platformer that I'd best describe as Trine meets The Lost Vikings. Switch between 4 elements to make it through different elemental levels and restore yourself to your normal elemental beauty.
This is Part 1 of a Let's Play series. In this video I go through the intro and complete the Fire Realm. I only die about a bajillion times :)

Thoughts so far:
The first thing that stood out to me is the writing. The characters are written very well, with each having their own distinct personality. Conversation and banter between the 4 elements feels natural and I quite enjoyed it. Character graphics for their speech portions are very well drawn and offer a unique take on the elements. So far I've only experienced the Fire Realm and it looks exactly as I'd expect. Lava everywhere, fire based enemies, steam exploding through rocks.. There's a lot of detail and the levels are well crafted with checkpoints that give you a quick start after death.
Platforming requires a bit of precision, and there are times I found myself dying because I accidentally walked off a ledge or an enemy knocked me back into the lava. Combat feels a little lackluster, lacking true impact when hitting enemies but I'm still getting the hang of it.
The boss battle for Fire was fun. I only used Fire, but it is certainly set up in a way that you will likely have the best experience by switching between the elements. So far I'm having a blast!
