Elma Online

Elma Online (EOL) is an expanded version of Elasto Mania, featuring online playing and many other new features. It is a community-developed and maintained version that was originally built on top of Elasto Mania 1.2.

EOL is the de facto version of Elasto Mania that the community uses for playing and competing, ever since its first online version in 2007. EOL is where all the battles and cups are played, and all the world records on internal levels must be driven in EOL for them to count as official WRs.

The Elma Online website is the main hub for everything related to EOL.
