Peter's Quest


Leading off from just after the events of the first game, Pico and his pals are thrust into the heart of the realm Peter and his underlings reside in. As they journey further and further into his domain, his hold over them tightens. Play as Pico on his Quest to slay every last ant in existence to save all of mankind.


PLAY THE ORIGINAL (by @plufmot) TO GET UP TO SPEED


Originally created for Peter the Ant Day 2021, but ran into some issues with the deadline and so figured I'd spend some more time polishing the game and would release it for Pixel Day 2022. It's the first game I've released in a while, hopefully you enjoy! :)


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Patch Stuff:


  • Fixed some text drawing stuff
  • Unique door sprites for each level
  • Improved enemy spawning system (working as intended now!!)
  • Reworked the tutorial a tad (hopefully less confusing - can now be re-toggled in the options menu!)
  • Added a skip tutorial button (for everyone who knows what's goin' on!)
  • Fixed a bug where the shop would close when you clicked on it in a specific way
  • Audio issues when starting a new run
  • Buffed status effects that apply a stat buff (strength up, speed up, etc.) to make them a bit more useful..
  • Increased health item spawns and buffed band-aid healing

yo i fucking wishlisted for nothing

i got a character but when i rested the game and came back later he was gone

its okay..

i love this game it could be a lot better tho if you added more characters

a greatly realised newgrounds darkest dungeon the only thing i would add would be pico centric status illments and also make the areas lootable also add the goth pico kids voice as the narrator to truly make the game a perfect darkest dungeon lite other then that spectacular feels as insane as the real game itself
