A simple "Adventure" - all of the 3D models were made in Unity, keeping things "minimal". Sounds were created with BFXR and music in FL Studio 10. Paint.Net and Audacity were also used for a few tasks.
NOTE: Mac and Linux were built on Windows, sorry have I no way to test these and hope that Unity's export feature works!
Feels pretty nice, except for the combat. It seems like its impossible to kill enemies without taking damage, and although health seems fairly abundant, I still find myself constantly dying (though I may just be bad).
That was really good. A nice length to just sit down and get through, really good music, the cave was actually nicely moody and the hud display of your hp/inventory was perfect in its simplicity.
Thank you all for the comments and playing the game. The best way to fight the blobs is to kite them - hit them then move back, hit then move back, etc.
Cool take on minimalism! I also liked the music and the colorful graphics. It might need an option to use the mouse to look around, as turning with WASD is soooo slow... :)
Good work for that short time... like the dungeon very much... good mood... but the movement of the character is a little bit to slow...the enemys behind you, can attack you 3 time before you turned around..
Basic 3D arpg boiled down to the essentials. I enjoyed it, though found it very difficult to progress purely because of the damage out/damage in ratio. Well implemented however, and enjoyable. I ended up playing a couple of times. :)

This fits the theme to a tee. A great coffee break game.
I found the music very fitting and the dungeon looked amazing. The combat and the movement were rather tedious and I didn't enjoy them. Congratulations on your game, though!
Reminds me of the old Atari Adventure game. Nice job.

Seems like a cross between the Legend of Zelda and Minecraft, or a 3D Dot Game Heroes in first person view.

The Linux build worked on my Ubuntu system after upgrading to 13.04 Raring Ringtail. I also had to "# sudo apt-get install ia32-libs" to install the libGLU.so.1 shared library, and "# chmod u+X ./quest". It ran fine, but there is about a 30 second load time where it just displayed a blank window.
cool game man -- not bad for only using unity for 2 weeks -- great effort!

I didn't make a Linux build for the LD compo, but it looks like it's simple as changing the target platform in the build settings. I'll probably make a Linux build this weekend to see how it does.
Cool game! I got the chalice and made a mad dash back to king potato.

Not a fan. Awkward yet generic gameplay in a programmer art world. The lack of mouselook feels limiting. The audio is the most worthwhile part, I think.
Congratulations on being very creative on the 3D art for this one.
Onto the game: Music is OK. Often times I got hit by the blue thing then I couldn't move nor attack. It is a bit hard to hit the enemy without being hit. Constantly dying because I kept getting cornered on odd situations. Couldn't get very long on the game because of that.

Also thank you for the comments on the music =) I posted the main theme to soundcloud https://soundcloud.com/vinull/quest-main-theme-for-ld48
