There are several different types of battles that can be started:
Name | Description | Recommended level types |
---|---|---|
Normal | A standard battle. The player with the fastest time, or the most apples collected wins. | Most levels, except those that obviously fit better in other types of battles. |
One-life | A race, best result in a single attempt wins. | Linear levels with many apples. Not too hard and not too short. |
First Finish | The first one to get a time wins. The result will be the elapsed time of the battle, not the time for the run. | Same as for one-life, but can be harder and even longer. |
Slowness | The one who finishes with the slowest time wins. | Levels with very steep downhills. The point is it should be impossible to stop anywhere (without dying). |
Survivor | The one who can stay alive the longest without dying or finishing wins. | Same as for Slowness, but it doesn't have to be finishable. |
1 Hour TT | The one who gets best total time in the 54 internal levels in 1 hour wins. | N/A |
There will be even more battle types in the finished Elma Online.
