Pangolick Quest

Pangolick Quest – Your Tongue Is Mightier Than a Sword!

The princess has been kidnapped... and only one unlikely hero can save her: Pangolick, a courageous pangolin with a powerful tongue!

Inspired by the classic charm of the original Zelda, Pangolick Quest is a top-down action-adventure where you don’t wield a sword. You fight with your tongue! Use it to latch onto enemies, roll toward them, and take them down with a satisfying combo of skill and momentum.

Eat Bugs, Grow Stronger

Collect pink bugs scattered across the world! For every 5 bugs, your tongue grows 1 meter longer, unlocking new areas and letting you reach distant targets.
Keep your eyes open. Some enemies carry bugs, marked by shiny pink particles floating above them.

Combat & Exploration Mechanics

• Use enemies not only to defeat them, but also to launch yourself into rocks and break obstacles blocking your way.
• Hook onto rings suspended in the air to fly over water and pits, gaining access to hidden areas and secret routes.

Explore Freely

The world is small, yet full of paths. Choose your own route, experiment with different strategies, and decide how and where to collect the bugs needed to save the princess. There are no fixed paths, just pure exploration.

Controls

• X – Tongue attack
• C – Switch character (after rescuing the princess)
