Commentary:

The idea for this game was to create a fun, replayable, and mechanically skillful game for mobile users.  I've always enjoyed endless runners and spending hours trying to get a new high score in them.  This is a game that implements traditional runner features with different platforms and enemies, but also has the elemental twist which requires quick thinking from the user.
