This game could have been really fun if it were more balanced and more polished. The idea of a shooter were you control the movement with the arrow keys and the shooting with the awsd keys is simple and highly addictive, but the game is way to hard and you soon lose interest. Most of the rules seems to be implemented but I didn't find how the browsing of the source code was implemented nor how polymorphism is used, but that might just be me having difficulties getting anywhere is this crazy hard game (and yes, I did play in easy mode). To sum it up, it could have been really fun but didn't quite get there, still I think The Devil is the game I've played the most out of all TINS 10 games.

The elemental sun is a nice puzzle game with great hand drawn graphics and a very polished and complete look and feel. The way source code is integrated to the game is great and sounds are by no mistake some kind of human samples.

The only thing that bothers my about the game is that it could have been a little bit easier. As another reviewer already pointed out, when you get stuck you often find yourself trying all sorts of different combinations instead of actually thinking about what you should do. Perhaps it was just me that was a bit tired of programming and thinking about programming after the competition.

Still it's a great game with an original idea that is a must play of the TINS 10 entries.
