Answer/Spoiler time: There are 11 gems because the 11th is if you're an over-achiever. You even get a trophy for getting it on newgrounds. You can use your parachute after gaining momentum in the beam of light to get onto the floating island. The floating island is where you teleport to if you get home by becoming evil (which I gotta say is awesome cause you get the power to teleport). If you climb the 'endless wall', you can use lightning to destroy an obstacle and get the fruit of youth near the top. The fruit of youth gives maxed stamina that never drains. Collecting gems actually restores the deity's power. The deity is evil and is using you as a pawn. Kill 10 creatures and talk to 'The Master Below" or whatever he's called to get teleportation powers and teleport home, becoming evil for stealing souls. Collect gems to ride light home and become a pawn. Climb the endless wall home and become a hero.

This highly rated game lives up to it's expectation. Combining satisfying, retro graphics with well-thought out puzzles and a great storyline, this pixellated game is well worth the rating and all fans of pixel games should spend their time completing this game!

Mysterious Voice: Ahh, another gem. Good job Fallen One.
You: CAN YOU SERIOUSLY STOP CALLING ME THAT?!?!?! Its bad enough that I fell like 1,000,000 feet off a cliff. Now you gotta rub it into my face every chance you get, you jerk.

"Here is the Fruit of Youth. With it, you will not lose Endurance, but do you really want it?" Well, I guess it would ruin 1/2 of this game's point so... HECK YEAH!!!!

10/10 Great game. Good job Zillix. Very simple but it hits some strong marks. I might consider it an art game, but it is fun to play and has a cool story. I went to the game for a badge to see that I had already earned it by playing earlier. Hearing the music and then seeing the game reminded me of the game, immediately was hit by the feels. This game will produce the feels. Cool game.

Dude, i got all the gems without knowing i got ALL of them, got the zap crap, killed 10 people, forgot where the secret guy with the 10 soul deal thing was so i just climbed the mountain, got the sword, then the evil guy got out and i didnt get to fight him cause i had gotten all the gems :( anyways 1000/1000 definitely. And i like the Shadow of the Colossus style of game/ending/story crap thing in this awesomesauce game :)

Shouldn't the people who hid the sword away just used it themselves to kill the evil god? Or at least left their warning about him somewhere people could actually see? No they had to hide both somewhere no one could reach. Thanks guys.

I love how you never actually die. You just spend like two seconds down with a gray screen and get back up again healthy as ever. Wonderful anti-frustration feature.

Well maybe if everyone in Dwarfland weren't a jerk to me I wouldn't have released the ancient evil. I think this is their own fault and I regret nothing.

go jump off a cliff.
Apparently he wasn't just being a jerk, I literally had to jump off the cliff to advance.
lol. 5/5 for old school.

The reason the ancestors couldn't kill the deity probably was that they couldn't survive falls from terminal velocity like this fellow. That's the only thing I could come up with.

Man, I can't believe it's been almost 8 years since I first played this. I would love to see an Endeavor 2. This is absolutely one of my top 3 favorite games on Kongregate.

Also, If you wanna go ahead and make another game in this series, hell, just even in this vein, on the same epic scale, with the same ingenuity, I would love that. You've got a real talent for this.

tungsteno, and anyone else who liked the music and game: another one you may like is The Grey Rainbow. It's a point and click game, but NOT a pixel hunt, and the title screen music is pretty neat like this one. Graphics are crayon-drawn but has a really nice story, so the simple-but-fulfilling aspect is much like this game.

I do kind of wish I didn't have to restart the whole thing to get a new ending. After already sealing the bad ending, I looked around and explored everything. I found the forever youthful powerup after a lot of frustrating climbing, and I can't help but imagine how useful it would be if I hadn't already doomed myself.

Little tip: When swimming, if you want to go up faster, don't hold Up arrow, water will take you up automatically, faster than holding the Up arrow ;)
