Tap Quest

iOS iPhone

Tap Quest is a new adventure-RPG especially made on and for the iPhone/iPod Touch. Tap your party of Knights, Archers, and Mages through a fantasy world in search of the crystals of power. Kill bad guys, find keys, and explore different terrains including deserts, forests, mountains, and more.

KNOWN BUG! With the latest version (1.2), sometimes when you choose to "Start New", and go to do the first quest, you won't have any characters. I'll be fixing it ASAP. In the meantime, if you delete the app and download it again, that will fix it. If you purchased the Sound or Dwarf unlock, you can "buy" these in the store again for free.

** Game Manual **

-- Story --

It has been 8 years since the evil warlock Savaros stole the crystals of power and hid them throughout the land. Fed up with living under the tyrant, you leave home in search of the crystals, hoping to regain that which was lost.

Each crystal is hidden in a different quest. Find the hidden crystal in each quest until you have enough power to defeat the evil Savaros and lift the veil of evil from the land.

-- Actions --

- Select characters one by one by tapping on them. Select a group of characters by dragging your finger across the screen to form a selection box.
- Tap on bad guys to attack.
- Tap on the sides of the screen to travel to different areas in the map (kinda like the old NES Zelda game).

-- Stores, Inns, and Portals --

- Stores: Stores can be found throughout the land and are marked by a door with a potion on it. You can buy items there.
- Inns: Inns can be found throughout the land and are marked by a door with a bed on it. Stay a night at the inn to completely restore the health of everyone in your party. Staying in the inn will also revive swooned party members.
- Portals: Portals teleport you to different areas in a map. They are marked by black squares in the game.

-- In Game Items --

- Bombs: You can obtain bombs by picking them up in game or buying them in a store. Use bombs to blow up enemies, destroy obstructions, and reveal secret items or entrances in the game.
- Blue Potions: Use a blue potion to completely heal all members of your party.
- Red Potions: Use a red potions to rain a shower of fireballs upon your enemies.
- Keys: Use keys to open locked doors. Any key will open any locked door.
- Hearts: Pick up a heart to partially restore the health of all the members of your party.
- Gold and Treasure: Gold and treasure can be obtained from slain enemies or found hidden throughout the game. Use it to buy items in stores.

Special Item:
Mega bomb: Same as regular bomb, but has a much bigger blast radius and does way more damage. Great for killing lots of enemies.

Speed powerup: Temporarily increase the speed of all of your party members. The more you use, the faster they go!

Defense powerup: Doubles the amount of HP for every character in your party. Once a character's HP dips below the normal HP level (ie. no more blue HP), then you have to use another Defense powerup if you want to double the HP again.
