About this game
4 Elements is a tile-matching game with elements from hidden object titles.
The levels are labyrinths with grids of multi-colored tiles.

The player has to click and drag over groups of three or more tiles to remove them.
The objective of each level is to break the background by making matches over it, allowing the elemental energy, green sap for the earth level, lava for the fire element, wind & water for the others, to flow freely.
The game screen follows the energy as it flows, moving with it until it is blocked again.
The levels are divided in four books representing the four elements.
At the start of each book, a screen comes up with scattered pieces of objects that must be collected.
After the objects are assembled, they have to be used to solve the room puzzle and reach the book key.
The levels are organized inside the books as sub-groups related to a typical fantasy character (like elves, dragons, dwarfs, etc).
After solving a group, a couple of similar cards with the character appear side-by-side, and the player must click on the differences between the two.
There are slots at the bottom of the screen for the four power-ups, each being charged by matches of its corresponding color.
The spade destroys a single tile, the bomb explodes several tiles, the swap changes the position of two tiles and the reshuffle reorganizes the whole grid.
The PS3 version includes the ability to replay levels, leader board support, and an up-gradable castle to represent the player's leader board score.
About Nintendo 3DS
The Nintendo 3DS (2011) added glasses-free stereoscopic 3D and a second analog input to Nintendo's handheld line, eventually building a library that rivaled the DS in size and quality. Because the eShop for digital purchases has since closed, physical 3DS cartridges are the only way to preserve access to many titles — a dynamic that's pushing more collectors toward cartridge-based copies even for games that were originally digital-first.
Gamevaro tracks 4 Elements for Nintendo 3DS with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding 4 Elements to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This 3DS release dates back to 2010.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for 4 Elements, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo 3DS titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
