About Elliot and the Musical Journey


Elliot and the Musical Journey is a classic 3D platformer filled with music and puzzles.

Elliot is a small gnome living in a colorful, music-filled and happy gnome land with their peaceful Queen Adeline. One day Elliot wakes up and everything has changed.

The Evil Skeleton King has stolen the music from the world and without it the world is dying. You are the only one who can revive the symphony barren lands by playing remedial melodies with your flute, collecting runaway notes and stolen instruments, beating the mischievous bosses and releasing your friends from captivity.

Can you save your friends, the Queen and the whole world?

Игра 'Elliot and the Musical Journey' - очаровательное приключение, которое покоряет своей милой графикой и увлекательным геймплеем, основанным на ритме. Исследуя красочные миры, Эллиот взаимодействует с окружением через музыку, решая головоломки и преодолевая препятствия с помощью точного попадания в ритм. Визуальный стиль игры очень приятен глазу, персонажи запоминающиеся, а музыкальное сопровождение великолепно передаёт атмосферу каждой локации. Уровень сложности постепенно возрастает, что делает игру доступной для новичков, но интересной и для опытных игроков. Хотя сюжет и не отличается особой глубиной, он служит хорошим фоном для приключений Эллиота. Главный упор сделан на механику ритм-игры, которая реализована очень качественно. Иногда управление может показаться немного неуклюжим, но это не критично и быстро привыкаешь. В целом, 'Elliot and the Musical Journey' - это отличная игра для тех, кто любит казуальные приключения с музыкальным акцентом. Она способна подарить несколько часов приятного и расслабляющего геймплея. Рекомендую!

[h1]Description[/h1] Elliot and the Musical Journey is a 3D platformer. You play as Elliot and your task is to collect 10 musical notes, free gnomes, and defeat the skeleton bosses in every level. For the final boss, you'll have to collect 20 musical notes instead. Don't let the game fool you, despite its childish appearance, it can actually get really hard at times. [h1]Linux[/h1] The intro and ending videos did not play, even when using Proton GE 10-15. So, I kind of missed out on the story a little bit. Other than that, the game plays just fine. [h1]Duration[/h1] I completed the game in 55 minutes. [h1]Achievements[/h1] You can 100% the game by simply completing it. [h1]Motion Sickness[/h1] I got motion sickness from playing this game, so if you're like me, watch out for that. [h1]Conclusion[/h1] All in all, it's not bad for a student project. I would give them an A for this one.

Had to Vomit from the Music, so I had to turn on my own (s3rl) Disapearing Blocks cannot be used to jump off of them to escape ?! Hits from Enemys remove 1 jump charge thus leading to death?! Also hitboxes are off in the measure of 3 of my characters to be added ?! No Savepoint ?! Creator Surely goes to Hell for making games difficult to play.
