Hahahahahahaha!

On a more serious note, it seems Element Online is finally getting some attention, just look at the registration statistics:

Awesome right? Well I guess I'd better start making it look more professional now, huh? I plan on redoing the HUD stuff, and maybe do Parallax Backgrounds. The gameplay seems pretty solid now, so aside from tweaking bits to make it more playable, and fair, I'm going to stick with this style of gameplay. Anyway, it's going well, and that's what counts.

AND I'm also working on Landslide still, for those of you who don't remember it, I mentioned it in a previous entry. It's a minigame inspired by this flash game:

Pretty cool right? I love the concept, but it's the same throughout the whole game, and it'd be SO much cooler with physics implemented, right? Well that's what Landslide is trying to do. Here's a screenshot for those interested:

So this'll be a great summer for me, Game Making wise anyway. I plan to release the next update to Element and the first demo for Landslide into the archive around the same time.

Anyway…

Those static block graphics need some serious working. Take a look at auto-tiling or just tiling full stop.
Juju speaks the truth.

Seriously, circular gradients on the brick tiles do not work, period. Now I realize that it's still a WIP, but like Juju said, you should fix them up some time. Best of luck with your project, though.

ESA speaks the truth. Try finding a brick texture and then posterising it and adding some sort of shading (bevel/pillow if you must).

Lol, I tried to make a game inspired by that Avalanche game too (It's one of my favourite online games) but I ended up stopping making it… I look forward into playing both Element Online and Landslide when they are done.
