California, USA, May 9, 2023 – Today, developer Wonderful Elephant (jmtb02) and publisher Armor Games Studios announced that they decided to stop ignoring the elephant games in the room, and finally remastered them! After 12 years, The Elephant Collection reunites and remasters ten classic Flash titles for ele-fans old and new. Check out the debut trailer: https://youtu.be/-Hf91nIk3zI
From puzzle platformers to rapid-fire arcade games, The Elephant Collection packs ten of jmtb02’s iconic blue elephant Flash releases into one mammoth-sized package. Beloved by fans with millions of plays on Armor Games, the titles featured in this collection serve both as timeless classics and notable pieces of indie game history. Featuring remastered artwork for original and high-resolution play, higher quality music and sound effects, and of course, no more ads, this is a premium game for premium elephants.
The Elephant Collection is a metagame of metagames! The anthology is lovingly tied together by an overarching story that sees Blue Elephant’s partner go missing after a rave gone wrong. Blue Elephant must recover his memories of that night by earning achievements in each game, hopefully revealing the location of his lost partner along the way!
Games included in The Elephant Collection:
- This is the Only Level 1, 2, and 3: This platformer only has one level, but the solution changes every time you beat it. Do you have what it takes to reach the end?
- Achievement Unlocked 1, 2, and 3: Think outside the box and figure out how to unlock every possible achievement. (Good luck; there are a lot of them.) Note: Achievement Unlocked 2 does not contain a multiplayer experience.
- Elephant Quest: That Wooly bully stole the Elephant’s bowler hat. Rude! Fight through an expansive world, power up your elephant, and help your fellow elephants in fun side quests in order to stop Wooly once and for all! Oh, also, you have a laser.
- Obey! The Game: This micro-game collection is simple, really: just follow the instructions until the game tells you not to!
- Run, Elephant, Run: Escape from your world tour and go on a whirlwind international journey so you can spend time with your loving partner, who is also an elephant.
- Elephant Rave: Dance to the music and avoid the colorful lasers! It’s highly irrelephant.
The original blue elephant games are wacky, whimsical, and wonderfully nostalgic, and The Elephant Collection deservedly rejuvenates them for the modern era of video games. Coming to PC in 2023, you can wishlist the anthology today: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2274110/
