♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢CORNERSTONE♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢ Long ago, four elements, Fire, Water, Earth and Air, lived in peace. However, the evil Aether element, led by the King of Darkness, has taken over the castle and threatens to destroy this peace. It is now up to you to fix this. It's dangerous to go alone, you know... ♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢HOW TO PLAY♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢ Cornerstone is a fairly simple game to understand. There are three main parts of gameplay. ♢♢♢Exploration♢♢♢ Move around with the Arrow Keys. Interact with NPCs, read signs and open doors with the Space Bar. Press N to bring up your savecode, and M to hide it. ♢♢♢Combat♢♢♢ In combat, each character gets two turns, ATTACKING and MOVING. In the moving turn, click on a location within the circle to move to that location. In the attacking turn, type the name of an attack, and then... well, the game will tell you what to do then. ♢♢♢Menus♢♢♢ In menus, like the title screen and shop, just click on buttons to use them. In the level-up screen, each skill costs one skill point. The BACK button returns you to the start of the skill tree, and the EXIT one closes it. Remember that! ♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢SECRETS♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢ Secrets are everywhere in Cornerstone! Make sure to check every room. ♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢TIPS♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢ The Earth Temple in the north is the easiest dungeon, so go there first. The village is two rooms to the west, then two rooms north. Make use of the shop there! When you're ready, the Dark Castle is one room west and one north. Face the Dark King there! ♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢CREDITS♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢♢ I couldn't have made this game on my own. Thanks to @KingQuakeHammer, @Naxarmas, @King_Of_Zyjaria, @DoubleWing645 and @ganongerudo10. As a reward, all of you get something specially designed for you! Check the Hall of Swords in the town. This game also took inspiration from VoidHeart by @King_Of_Zyjaria, Paper Mario: The Origami King, The Legend of Zelda, Undertale and Deltarune. The code was all made by me, as well as some of the sprites. Enjoy, and I hope to see you become elemental masters.
