Our take on Elliot
Immediate return after death makes repeated attempts the defining rhythm: each failed run feeds directly into another try across the game's demanding platforming stages.
What is Elliot?
Elliot is a colourful 2D platformer influenced by 16-bit classics, with a demanding difficulty level.
Players guide Elliot, a blue Momba, through 60-plus levels arranged across 11 chapters, running, jumping, and dashing in any direction. Death is followed by an immediate return to the action, making repeated attempts part of the progression. Collectibles reveal more about the World of Elliot, Manuel, and the Mombas. The game includes two characters, a soundtrack, achievements, and a speedrun mode for setting personal records or competing with friends. Its story follows Elliot and his friend Manuel as unusual events affect their natural world.
