Alright, as the title implies on the quest, I'll be down straight with you. It's a quick and dirty quest. See, it's a quest... that's short, but filled with challenges and puzzles that make a perfect time waster for ZC addicts, but there's a learning curve for people who simply play the easy puzzles: There are puzzles in place you wouldn't expect immediately.

So yeah, it's quick and dirty. Here's the latest beta, made on my Linux machine, on 2.5 build 730 (update your betas, people). I hosted it on ZShare.

Beta 2: quickanddirty.qst - 0.86MB

Here are some screenshots.

Nice job on the misplaced blue/green square.

[sigtau]

HAH! First beta, I'll fix that.

EDIT: Fixed.

I can't find any secrets, and I'm missing a key.
And how did that locked door end up relocked after I unlocked it?
Yeah, you forgot to set the side warp for the entrance.

Oh, and I'm literally stuck in level 1. What happened to the sidewarp out?

Pokegamer, in the second room, the one with all the zols, (The room right after the enterance) Bomb the wall to the right.

[sigtau]

Fixed. Again. I'm working on Level 2 and another part of the overworld. (The cave system, by the way, is for getting heart pieces.) Second level will be up by 1:00 PM EST.

This looks kinda fun, I love the purple cave look, that's so neat and eye-catching. I'll download this and play it later tonight. Thanks!

[vravelo]

Wow...!
this kooks so beautiful , !
I've just downloaded and will install and start playing tonight
keep the good work........thanks

[sigtau]

OK, I'm a little late to release this level (damn bugs) but the second level has been released. I'll keep the download links up for previous versions just in case. I've also put up some new screenshots showing off a new portion of the overworld. There's also a shop in the overworld now... and a new heart piece cave... running SIDESCROLL...

DOWNLOAD, DAMMIT.

EDIT: Whoa, Sephiroth caught something: At the end of both bosses, there are no heart containers spawning. Well, now there are. Enjoy your newfound life meter!

EDIT 2: I found an annoying quirk in Level 1. Fixed. I also found an annoying quirk inside of the second HCP cave. Fixed.

Okay, could you please fix the locked door in this room? Because even after I unlock it, it keeps ending up relocked when I revisit that particular room!
Wait! Is that fixed in the next beta?

I'm pretty sure that's a bug on the beta's part.

[sigtau]

Sorry to double post (I'm pretty sure it's twelve hours that must be waited out before you can post a second time in a row)... but anyway, instead of releasing the beta with level 3 (as I didn't get a chance to work on it today), I have decided to release a bit of information regarding the new level.

1. It will be sidescrolling, as will several other dungeons in the game (remember, it doesn't use Roc's Feather ... yet ... so that means I did sidescrolling the old fashioned way).

2. There will be different kinds of puzzles, including collapsing ceilings and a block puzzle (Sidescrolling block puzzle?!) to open the door to the boss room.

3. A fun little thing: There will not only be the ladders and floors above the bottom of each screen, but there will also be little fans that blow you upwards onto a new floor (which is an interesting concept, I think it's in a different quest too).

4. After beating the boss, there will be a (I still haven't figured out what the puzzle will be, PM me if you wish to help with this part) very exclusive puzzle involving no enemies that you must solve in order to get the Triforce of Wisdom.

5. A secret room will be ... somewhere. If you do perhaps find it, it's a secret what will be in there. You'll have to search for it.

Good luck, quick and dirty questgoers!

(EDIT: Hah, 666th post... it's a SIGN...)

Hey! I got your quest, and within 5 minutes, I found a bug...

I got the sword, went up a screen, right a screen, and up another screen, and went into the cave. I went and got the heart piece at the end, and on my way back to the entrance of the cave, I died (don't laugh at me), and when I clicked continue, I started somewhere weird. I don't know where, and I haven't found my way back yet... Could you fix that in the next update?

Thanks!

[vravelo]

well as I said before,, downloaded this quest, but started playing last night
now I see why you call this a "quick and dirty quest"
because I started playing and real "quick" I was dipped in real "dirt"
OMG, I better wait till you fix or delete this for good
maybe you never give this quest a little test before, I got involved,
please let me know when this is updated,,, thanks

[AgentLym]

I never said this quest was bad, I just can't play it 'cause I'm stuck...

Fix it?
