About

TurtleQuest

Features
Read full description

TurtleQuest is a 2D-Platformer where you are sent on a quest to save your little turtle village from an unknown disease. You have to follow an ancient path through the old mountains to find the sacred plant Zingiber, which might help to cure all turtles. You play as Seni, as you follow the path you hike through various kinds of levels with hidden traps, natural obstacles, and bewitched things. TurtleQuest is inspired by "TrapAdventure", "Cat Mario", and "I Wanna Be The Guy", so it is really tricky, but cute. Controls: Walking: right screen halve Jumping: left lower screen halve Ducking: left upper screen halve Pause: left upper corner As of now does TurtleQuest only has 7 levels, I am going on a break, and if enough people are interested in the game, will try and make many more. So please tell your friends about this game, if you liked it, or if you want to see how they manage to beat each level. If you found a bug, please tell me in an email about it if you like: turtle_quest@protonmail.com I will try and fix it.
