After months of making this level, I finally finished it. In this multi-path level, players get to choose an element and then explore it. But they must complete all four elements in order to complete the level. Here are the following elements to explore:

WATER:
This area is filled with slippery floors and attract-o-gel obstacles. Watch out for icicles.

EARTH:
In this area, challenge the mighty monster of earth. Use the glowing rocks with the Grabinators to attack this stone behemoth.

WIND:
This area features windy obstacles and grappling hook gameplay. There's also a puzzle inspired by "Skyrim".

FIRE:
This area is an oven, so watch out for lavas and fireballs, especially the lava flows that occurs frequently.

Each element, excluding earth, has two secrets to find. There are five custom music in this level made by me. "Snowy Domain" and "Metal Revolution" are both previously featured in my gallery level, while the other three will be added to my gallery level two weeks after "Silhouette of Elements" was published.

Thanks to Ghost Creators for beta-testing the level before it's ready to be published.

Hope you give it a play.

Hi JustinArt,

your level design is looking exceptionally, so I'm rather curious to know how it feels to play it! And of course to hear your music!^^

Many greetings, Jürgen^^		2013-02-15 08:54:00

This looks good! Nice variety of environments, the pic with the stone behemoth reminds me of PixelJunk Shooter 2. Have queue'd to play later.2013-02-15 11:38:00

Boaaah! Wow! What a brilliant masterpiece of art!!!!! The pictures and the video above can reflect not anywhere nearly the experience of actually playing the game! The unique design combined with a fantastic gameplay which is sometimes really demanding and with the fantastic music, its been sheer fun to me! Each scenery has its different character and atmosphere each one has been astonishing me! JustinArt, I enjoyed every minute and thank you so much for a great entertainment!

Many greetings, Jürgen^^		2013-02-16 08:29:00

The level has been updated with a couple of bugs fixed. One is in the wind area where players accidently turned on the switch with grappling hook that prevented players from processing through the level. That has been fixed by creating a material around that switch to prevent players from grappling it with grappling hook, but it'll disappear when the first switch of the big fan activates. The other bug that has been fixed is around the first grabbable material of Water area where players can go behind the material and explore outside of the level. Hope this update helps improve the level.2013-02-18 00:08:00

JustinArt, this level was absolutely brilliant! I loved each element's special atmosphere, and the wind platforming section was surreal and a work of Art that was pure magic. I found myself totally immersed. I was in awe. Wow! 2013-02-24 20:27:00

The Level was just incredible. Unfortunately we broke it at the last sign in two player mode. Of course I will give it one more try alone. 2013-02-25 03:43:00

only one way to describe this and that is, "Epic." Fantastic job on this and loved how each section was different with its own unique play style. The only thing that bugged me was the ending. You mean to tell me that I just battled through not 1 not 2 or 3 but 4 epic areas and my reward is a small picture put together. Man, I wanted to see something EPIC, something mega like a huge mountain opening up to reveal a hidden "5th" element terrain where you'd traverse this anti element environment and be rewarded with riches untold. Or an ending like the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) comes in and arrest you for trampling through a natural preserve or something.
Excellent work as always man and this truly is an Epic level. It's like playing 4 levels in one.		2013-03-01 16:05:00

I'm going to go out and say that this is one of the best levels I have ever played. Its like 4 different levels in one, with no level links. I felt incredibly immersed into the world you created. Amazing job.2013-03-01 22:29:00

Thanks for the awesome feedbacks. Glad you enjoy it.

If anyone's interested, I added the songs that has been heard in the Wind and Fire area of this level to my gallery level.		2013-03-02 17:48:00

Hello Justin!

I played your level couple of days ago, and I really liked your work. What impressed me most, is how you managed to fit all 4 elements (4 different platformer areas) in 1 thermo without using any level links. And not only that, all 4 elements were really well made and each element had great different gameplay. Amazing work in every way, well deserved heart from me and keep up the good work My favorite element was wind!		2013-03-08 17:48:00
