Pavel Quest was started as a small side project by Eric in the fall of 2014. It began as a 16px by 16px white box that simply bounced between walls, and jumped over over other boxes. Originially intended to be more of an action platformer, Eric and Alex found it far more gratifying beating levels that had puzzles integrated into them as well. Eventually the box was replaced by our great hero Pavel, and the levels came together into what is now known as Pavel Quest.
