Endeavor is a game about a dwarf trying to uncover an ancient secret. Or maybe it's about exploring, climbing, and swimming. Or perhaps it's about collecting powerups and treasure. Or possibly it's just about killing things.
With multiple endings, quests, interactive npcs and ambient critters, it's my most involving game yet! It features many original musical tracks, several upgrades, and an engaging climbing and endurance scheme.
Controls:
Left/Right arrows to move
X to jump

This game was made in one month for the Ludum Dare October challenge, though it took another month for release!

Enjoy!

Note: Once you've reached an ending, you won't be able to get a different ending without restarting the game. Don't worry, getting the other endings is much faster when you know where everything is!
Update: Some people are getting lag whenever they touch a flower- this is due to an auto-save feature that I've decided to remove (note that the game still autosaves whenever you collect a powerup or switch screens, just not on touching flowers anymore). I've submitted the latest version which should get approved soon, so bear with me! Thanks for playing!
Update 12/2: There seems to be a bug with running out of endurance underwater and getting trapped in air bubbles. I'm working on fixing it! If this happens, press Q to return to the main menu, and then reload your save file.
Update 12/3: Patched to fix the underwater bug, pressing escape now pauses AND unpauses. Added tip menu screen to press p to see collections. Also added an additional creature on the island above the light beam. Hopefully the update goes live soon!
Update 12/11: Added a link to a full map of the game, see above!

Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
This is a classic but I honestly think it'd be more epic without background music. Just ambient noise instead. Shadow of the Colossus style.
Oh.. and now it bugs when you fall down from the underhanging ladders at the start and screen get stuck and it plays the falling noise over and over. darn :( A classic bites the dust.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
awesome game! none of the medals worked for me though maybe if i refresh
Rated 5 / 5 stars
it was nice until i fell into the water completely exhausted and the game stopped reacting on any input except esc and p
Rated 5 / 5 stars
An incredible, complex, nuanced game that combines branching paths and a feeling of real adventure with beautiful 8-bit environments and a story that I won't forget any time soon. It really gives you a sense of being able to explore the world at your leisure and do what you please, pursuing whatever goals you deem worthy of your attention. Endeavor is a wonderful experience, and I would reccommend it to anyone, truly exhibiting the potential inherent in the platform of Flash. I sincerely hope that Zillix goes on to create experiences on par with this one.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
