~THE QUEST OF KI~ Manipulating the balloon with just the tip of a finger, guiding it through gaps

• A side-scrolling platformer prequel to The Tower of Druaga, titled THE QUEST OF KI overseas.

• Priestess KI climbs the tower alone to retrieve the Blue Crystal Rod from the demon Druaga.

• Features inertia-heavy jumping with no attacks; KI must avoid enemies through precise, delicate movement.

• Includes KI, Ishtar providing floor hints, and Quox, the spirit dragon who warps Ki upward.

• Comprised of 100 floors; later "Special" floors feature brutal ZAP traps and extreme layouts.

• Praised for beautiful character art and Junko Ozawa’s acclaimed "Departure of KI" theme.

• The canonical "bad ending" where KI is petrified upset some players due to its gloominess.

• Derived from Atari’s Major Havoc; its development code name was "Minor Havoc".

• Famous for its notorious difficulty, especially Floor 98, as highlighted in Game Center CX.

• A punishing but rewarding "death game" that demands absolute mastery of its unique physics.
