The Post Jam Update

You know how it goes, you're tired at the end of the jam and you make compromises. I've uploaded a second build (FetchQuest by Zeroed - The Post Jam Update.jar) which contains some minor quality of life updates including:

  • Press enter to go full screen
  • Press escape to exit the game
  • Important dialog boxes must now fully display before they can be dismissed
  • Optimised the rendering of sprites (apparently drawing 6500 sprites that are off screen tanks performance)

If you want the build that was made during the jam period, stick with "FetchQuest by Zeroed.jar", otherwise I recommend checking out "FetchQuest by Zeroed - The Post Jam Update.jar"

Thanks

Special thanks to my pup Nero for voicing this game. and to my partner for play testing it.

P.S. I swear we don't abuse Nero, she just makes some really weird sounds sometimes when she doesn't get her way

HTML Version

Sorry, no HTML version, it ran at 10fps for some reason now runs OK but map generation between rounds takes 20 seconds and it locks up when loading the ending so I've decided not to publish it. One of these days I'll master GWT

Holy. this game is fun. nice music selection too ... no just amazing. a full polished game. had more fun that the games i used to play on game site as kids. really amazing. again a lot of fun, i played it for 30 mins and finished it. possible jam winner

I thought this entry was fantastic. Made it to the end and was upset that there wasn't more.  Awesome twist on the theme, there was a pup in there,  and it was overall just fun to keep digging, upgrading, and going deeper, and deeper.
