Final Form

Story

You've traversed the universe and found The Mysterious Celestial Cocoon. With it, you might finally metamorphose into your Final Form! To reach that, you need to master the Four Elements and defend from The Foul Creatures and The Void!

Controls

- WASD/Arrows for movement, rotation, and all other actions that would require directions
- R/Space/Gamepad-B - for all other actions, mostly respawn/switch

Gameplay

- During the day - try to cover as much land with the elemental terrain as possible
- Don't focus on one element; try to develop all at the same time
- Be careful not to mix the elements - it will corrupt the land
- The cards in the HUD (under the portrait) represent your movement and coloring patterns
- At night, the Foul Creatures will try to corrupt your land - fend them off
- Their attack and movement pattern is also displayed in the HUD
- At dawn - all elemental tiles upgrade to the next level if they are surrounded by at least 4 tiles with the same element and tile level
- Moreover, all corrupted land gets half-healed, and half-healed land gets healed
- The goal is to reach the 4th level in all elements

- The game saves at the end of every day, so you can play it in a few sessions (although there is a minor bug where corruption doesn't recede until the next day, making the current day a bit harder).
