[[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/555072 Endeavor]] is a game about a [[OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame dwarf]] trying to uncover an ancient secret. Or maybe it's about exploring, [[ItsAllUpstairsFromHere climbing]], and [[SuperNotDrowningSkills swimming]]. Or perhaps it's about collecting [[PowerUp powerups]] and treasure. Or possibly it's just about [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential killing things]]. In this platformer-style puzzle adventure flash game, a dwarf who appears to be even smaller than his fellow dwarves falls off of his mountain and into a MagicalLand called A'jele. Upon his descent, he is encountered by a deity named Malor, asking him for a little favor. That being to collect all of ten (or eleven if the player feels like being an over achiever) [[MineralMacGuffin gems]] so that Malor is given enough power to send the little dwarf back home, which seems to be the [[ButThouMust only way to ascend]].
