The AGS Panel is a team of AGS forum veterans who play all of the games here, and give them ratings from one to five cups. The rating system is as follows:
1 Cup Not serious entertainment
2 Cups A reasonable game, worth a try
3 Cups A good game, worth playing
4 Cups A great game, well worth your time
5 Cups An outstanding, must-play game!
Feel free to disagree with the panel's rating, and please don't be offended if you think your game has been underrated!

(Why has my game been rated 1 cup?)

Close window
If your game has been rated 1 cup, please don't be offended! It's common for your first game release to get a 1-cup rating, due to the game having a lack of polish and flair -- which is understandable, because you're just getting started!

Please understand that the main purpose of the ratings is to help potential game players find high quality, bug-free games to play. You've probably learnt a lot about AGS as a result of making your first game -- so why not use that knowledge to start afresh, and do even better with your next game!

About this game

Stair Quest is a retro adventure game that pays homage to the most enchanting, pulse-pounding moments from the early King's Quest games.

--


The realm of Castle's Wood is in despair.



As famine, war, disease, and natural disaster wreck havoc upon the land, good King Jonathan seeks the council of a wise old Soothsayer.



"Seek ye out the Orb of Stars," she tells King Jonathan.



Says the King, "The Orb of Stars is but a legend!"



The Soothsayer replies with a sly grin, "Even in legend may one find the truth, m'lord."



So, King Jonathan dispatches his bravest knight, Sir Devon, to quest for the legendary Orb of Stars. Little does he know his own daughter, Princess Ingrid, has also set out in search of the legendary relic...

Features



Gorgeous EGA graphics inspired by classic Sierra On-Line adventure games like King's Quest and The Black Cauldron!


An innovative text parser that recognizes literally thousands of commands!


Multiple protagonists! Choose to play as either the brave Sir Devon or the daring Princess Ingrid.


An original 8-bit soundtrack so good it could pass as a 9-bit soundtrack!
An old-school instruction manual filled with Stair Quest lore and important tips for success! So authentic, it could have been written by Roberta Williams herself. (It wasn't.)



Developed for #AdvJam2016 by No More For Today Productions (Patrick Johnston, Gareth Millward, Jess Morrissette, Frederik Olsen, Troels Pleimert, Chris Ushko, and Kevin Wallace). Cover art ("Roll for Initative...") by Jon Hodgson. Cover design by Andy Couch.

I thought this was hilarious because it reminded of the good old Space Quest 2 where you had to walk around the silly tentacles lying on the floor and how frustrating it was just to get to the berries... XD

I thought it was a really great game even though I was hoping for more stairs and even more challenging levels!

But thanks for the good times!

A game of legend!

While the game appeals through its graphical style, the gameplay is lacking incentive to complete the game. The game is more some sort of joke about (AGI) adventure games than a real adventure game.
