Petal Quest is a 5-minute PICO-8 adventure in a forest of secrets. 

Controls: Gamepad or the X, Z, and arrow keys.

This is a game of discovery with light puzzles. Inspired by Tunic, Fez. I love these strange little games and the world needs more of them.

Thank you for playing!

Love this cute game. Agree with @tsuneko about the dog's ears. It's the little details like that that make a game special. Thanks for a fun (if short!) experience.
