Elasto Mania II

Have only played the first one, Across, back in 1998 i think. But elma 2 is improved in both physics and fun elements. A really cool game to just put on for nostalgia and fun hehe

MicroProse™ Soccer, developed by MicroProse and Sensible Software and published by Ziggurat, is a re-release of a classic football title that reflects a very different era of sports game design—one where immediacy and accessibility mattered far more than realism or simulation depth. Rather than trying to replicate the complexities of real-world football, it focuses on fast, intuitive gameplay that prioritizes flow and player input, resulting in an experience that still carries a surprising amount of charm despite its age. The game is built around a top-down perspective, with players controlling a single footballer at a time while the rest of the team moves automatically. This design keeps the action easy to follow and removes the need for complicated control schemes. Passing, shooting, and movement are all handled through a small set of inputs, making it possible to jump into a match with little preparation. At the same time, there’s a subtle layer of depth beneath this simplicity. The way you time your inputs and position your player can significantly influence the outcome of plays, turning even basic mechanics into tools for creative expression. One of the more engaging aspects…

Different, unpredictable physics compared to first Elma. Not a deal breaker and it's still fun to play. Wish I could play it windowed... Game has no display settings whatsoever but at least it fills up 21:9 screen without distortions.

I love Elasto Mania. I played millions of hours with it and sometimes I still play with it nowadays too. But this Elma II is...well I write it down, its a crap! The physics are so glitchy and feels laggy, the new graphic design is disgusting. It feels like Balazs made it only to scam people who really loved the original Elma. Sorry, not sorry. I was so happy when I seen there is a new Elasto Mania game, but it was a disappointment.

Good

it's a classic
