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

Up/Down arrows to climb

P to pause and display collections

C to advance text

Q to return to the title screen (Use this if the game gets stuck for some reason!)


Volume controls:

-/+ to adjust volume

0 to mute


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


If you like this game, be sure to check out some other AWESOME games that inspired me!

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!

i remember playing this as a kid, god i was so astonished by the art and exploring. this is really nostalgic. thank you for making my childhood.
edit: it feels good to grow up and take revenge on the god

One of the best flash games I have played.

I'd like to have a flower count,300 is quite a lot

More games should be challenging but somehow nonviolent. Very clever.

I remember playing this game years ago when I was a kid. Playing it now after all these years is special feeling...
