About Elska

No installs and no paywalls: Elska is a combat game that starts the second you hit play. Enemies keep coming, so staying on the move is half the battle. It plays just as well on a phone or tablet as it does on a desktop, with touch controls built in. And because it is hosted on LemonArcade, it stays unblocked on school networks and Chromebooks.

How to play Elska

Survive the waves of enemies, land your shots and climb as far as your reflexes allow. On mobile, the on-screen touch controls take over — tap / drag — aim and shoot. A couple of practice runs will teach you more than any instructions.

• Mouse aim and shoot

Tips to get better at Elska

• Fight near cover or an escape route, never in the middle of an open arena.
• Learn enemy patterns before committing to an attack; most opponents telegraph their moves.
• Do not tunnel-vision one enemy while three others surround you.
