Tilturn!

Ellie the elephant's natural home has been overtaken by the metal-builders of humanity, but Ellie wants his home back. Play as Ellie as he smashes through iron plating to let the grass grow again where it once was, but be careful not to stomp out the very grass you sought to save. If Ellie's home takes on too much damage Ellie will despair and his home will be ruined, so be careful where you step!
