Element Games was founded in 2014 by Courtney Liessen, a veteran of the game industry. In 2015, Element Games released Evil Robot Traffic Jam, its first VR title, which was later ported and expanded multiple times for various platforms in many territories. In early 2020, Element Games released its second title Sky Cannoneer, the spiritual successor to a classic realtime strategy arcade game. Element Games’ third and most ambitious title, Reality Break, was released in early 2025 and recently launched the Ship Types DLC in August 2026. In 2025, the solo dev was joined by Sarah Buxkamper to transform the company into a dev duo. Their newest game, Bloom Control is slated for 2027, with a demo out on Steam now. Courtney was lead designer on the AIAS 2013 Mobile Game of the Year Hero Academy, and has held key roles on multiple projects, including the Orcs Must Die series, the Age of Empires series, Halo Wars, and Stranger Things 3: The Game. Element Games continues that momentum by creating games with an emphasis on visceral moment-to-moment fun, polished aesthetics, and long-term depth and replayability.
