Max the Elf! (V5.16 FREE)
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Android
UPDATE 7 APRIL 2026: Max the Elf is back on ITCH!
Hello! Welcome to our itch page for "Max the Elf ♂"!
Max the Elf is too big to load in the browser on Itch. Check the downloads instead!
The version here on itch will be v5.16, we used to update the game on itch every now on then with new content, but in all seriousness it is still a demo! Now that the game is closer and closer to completion, we want to slowly start trying to get the game on Steam. This means we will probably stop releasing new updates for Max the Elf on Itch.
I still work very hard on this game, and I do release updates constantly on Patreon, most likely all the way until the game is finished! The Newest version on Patreon is v6.03, which includes the start to level 6 with 3 new enemies. The full release will have level 6 complete, with a final fight after that. We also want to include a hard-mode, infinite-mode, monster book and toy support.
I understand it sucks to not get free updates here on itch anymore, but please don't pirate the game from other shady websites. Please consider supporting us on Patreon instead, or wait for the game to be released on Steam (if we can get it a green light). Much love, I appreciate you!
For more information you can contact us on Patreon.

Thank you for the support!
NOTE FOR MOBILE/ANDROID USERS: This is a bit of an important announcement. As you know we struggle a lot with getting the mobile version properly working each new update.
Every-time the game gets bigger, there seem to be more and more problems on mobile. So the playable version for android is v5.02.
We will stop releasing mobile updates until the game is fully completed and ready for one big proper effort to convert the game to mobile.
Sorry for this, but it's too stressful to keep up with every update.
Thanks for your patience, T-Hoodie, Rocky and JJ .
PLEASE READ: Please make sure you have hardware acceleration on in google chrome.
Thanks for all the feedback guys!
