When I first saw screenshots of this game, my initial reaction was, "Oh no, not another Jewel Quest variant!" But it all looked very pretty and sounded a little more intriguing than usual, so I decided to take a look.
And the good news is: this is not another Jewel Quest variant; static screenshots are actually rather misleading. Although it certainly has aspects in common with other jewel-matching games, 4 Elements is surprisingly original and plays quite differently from previous games in the genre."

From May 17 to May 29, 2012 Amazon is holding a $2.99 casual games mayhem event that includes 268 casual titles on sale for the amazing bargain price of only, you guessed it, $2.99. With so many titles available there is something for everyone. Don’t let this deal pass you by, game frugally today.
With the advent of the Nintendo 3DS, you’d be forgiven for thinking that developers would be abandoning the original Nintendo DS format. However, with an audience in excess of one hundred million, developers and publishers won’t be quite as quick to give-up on the console as the core audience, hence this latest Nintendo DS release from Mastertronic, 4 Elements. Launched just weeks prior to Nintendo’s new console, its budget price-tag and familiar Match-3 gameplay will surely earn it some fans within the huge Nintendo DS market.
