Turtle Quest

Turtle Quest sends a ninja turtle across a run of platform levels with one goal: gather enough yellow liquid to cure the Master that the enemy Tyfun poisoned at the start of the story. Getting there is the whole game, since every stage hides traps along the platforms, and the run rewards testing a ledge before committing to it over jumping on instinct alone.

What separates the moving around from a generic platformer is the toolkit. A boomerang deals with Tyfun's forces from a distance instead of forcing a close fight, a rope spreads out to bridge gaps a jump can't clear alone, and a parachute turns a bad fall into a landing you walk away from. Switching between the three mid-level, rather than leaning on just one, is what gets the turtle through the later stages in one piece.

How to play

Move the turtle across each platform level toward the yellow liquid, watching for traps hidden along the way. Jump to clear gaps, use the boomerang on enemies at range instead of walking into them, spread the rope to reach ledges out of jumping distance, and open the parachute to survive drops that would otherwise end the run. Mobile players get the same four moves through on-screen touch buttons.
