You are trapped in a castle full of anthropomorphic elements! Can you figure out how to defeat them all and plot your escape?
Elemental Castle Adventure was inspired by two old games--"Castle Adventure" by Kevin Bales, and "Dungeon of Shalan"
Each elemental can be defeated by striking it with one particular object. Your task is to figure out which object is its weakness--and where it is in the castle.
Along the way, you may find items which provide special bonuses, or that can be used to subdue various other threats.
Can you figure out how to keep the ghoul away? What about spiders and rats?
You can only carry one item at a time, so a bit of strategy may be required so that the tools you need are available when you need them.
If you die, you usually are reborn in the last "named" room you entered. The only exceptions to this rule are the rooms with elementals in them (since they will attack you on sight). There's no other penalty for dying, other than maybe a bruised sense of pride. Can you beat the game with zero deaths? :)
It might take some time to solve all the puzzles. If you really want, you can read the walkthrough here:
Interesting game, though it is a bit confusing figuring out how it works. I like that death has a minimal penalty. Overall, it feels like the old classic ADVENTURE where you carry around different objects. The graphics and mood are wonderful.
Oh god, what are the spiders shooting at me, webs? I can't seem to figure out what to do with the items, but I guess that's kinda the point to figure it out, right? I enjoyed it.
Very nice little game! It's got a decent mood, but some music would've probably made it way better. Gameplay is quite fun as well. Keep up the good work!
nice gfx and tactile playing feel. i felt the map is just a bit too big for the distribution of objects though. i.e too many empty/eventless rooms. but very nice overall
It would have been nice to have a super easy puzzle right at the start so people would know what to do. Since there does not seem to be an attack button, I assume you have to walk into things? Anyway, it was a really interesting entry. I love how there are objects all over the place.

Some items are red herrings, both figuratively and literally :)
As for the mechanics, I couldn't figure out what to do. I blindly ran around until I died a handful of times and that was about it.
