Henceforth my game Apple Quest II was born.\r\n\r\nContrary to the name, this is not an epic questing game instead; Apple Quest II is a simple mouse clicking game that requires you to pick apples off of trees so that you do not get fired from your job as an apple picker.\r\n\r\nTo play the game simply left click on the apples that appear in the trees. If you can surpass level 3 then congratulations, you win! \r\n\r\nIf you let five apples drop game over man! Unless you are higher than level 1 and in that case, you will simply drop a level.\r\n\r\nApple Quest II was made in Game Maker 8, and has been tested on Windows 7 64bit.<\/p>","title":"Apple Quest II: Return of the Discovery"}
