Game description
Embark on an epic quest to save the world from the evil! Dark forces are hunting down four ancient orbs, and whoever controls them will have the power to dominate the world. As the chosen hero, your mission is to track down these mysterious orbs before they fall into the wrong hands.
Traverse the lands, facing monsters and collecting weapons to aid you on your journey. With every step, you'll uncover secrets, battle evil creatures, and grow stronger. But beware—dark forces lurk around every corner to stop you.
Your ultimate goal is to collect the orbs, seal the evil forces away, and make a wish that will restore peace to the world. The fate of humanity lies in your hands—are you brave enough to take on this thrilling adventure and defeat the evil that threatens all?
For those daring enough to take on the challenge, seek out the 99 hidden coins scattered throughout the game. Finding them won’t be easy, but the rewards are worth the effort. The world’s future is waiting for you to save it!
NOTICE:
The boss room has a bug I couldn't fix, sometimes the chest doesn't reappear. Make sure that you kill the boss only after entering the room (i.e. after door closes and chest disappears). If chest still bugs, restart the game.
Also, the final boss room may have some collision problems with the barrels, so better not mess with them.

Thou hast really charming graphics in this game and some cool mechanics! It's very well done. I came across this game in my quest to play every game that has 'quest' in the name and luckily yours does because this was a good experience for me. I really like this art style and I would be keen to see how you could develop from here given more time. My only criticism is that firing the arrows was a bit challenging in terms of getting the direction right - the enemies themselves were not too hard or aggressive but sometimes it took me a while to actually hit them! Great entry.
Nice! I appreciate your quest to play quest named games 😂. Time was the only barrier for me in making this one, and it has quite a few bugs. I might work upon this one, let’s see what quest the future holds. The arrows were planned to be controlled via mouse (i.e. change direction while aiming in-place), but somehow it didn’t make to the final game. Enemies are dumb, I agree.
Thanks very much!
Great game, glad I got to play this one :)
Don't worry about the bugs, it's a gamejam game so its bound to be rough around the edges. What is here already is super fun and engaging, and I look forward to playing a post-jam version as well if you ever decide to!
Thou hast done a good job!
Thanks! If only I can find time to workon this in my student schedule, sure 👍! I will checkout your game too… I thank thee for playing the game!
Also, the light around the key in the fire area doesn't disappear when you take the key. I thought it might be a bug.
