Very cool! Congrats on your first game! I really liked the guitar strumming - along with the voice sound effects gave the game a very chill feeling. Best I've done is 7/15 treasures - would have loved an easier intro level.

Nice idea. Had a good laugh because of the sound effects. I just managed to find 4 treasures after multiple tries ;) Either the "swuuush" tornado gets me or time runs up. It's a bit too hard for me ;)

I loved the sound effects, they were hilarious. I'm so mad at that tornado following me everywhere.

Very funny sound effects!

Great sound effects and nice art (especially the water on the background). But I guess I'm a lame treasure hunter. Didn't find any :/

I've always wanted a metal detector! Really nice concept and take on theme. I didn't get too far, that tornado moves a bit too fast to my taste. :) Loved the sound effects!

Adorable visuals/audio. They gave the game a really relaxed aesthetic.

The graphics are cool, I really like the comic-like style! The best are the detector and the waves.
I really like the guitar playing. The other sounds are not perfect but fit the mood of the game quite well.
I was motivated to play the game a few times until I got 4 treasures, but not to find all of them. Maybe some encouraging message instead of "Oh noes"?
The take on the theme is rather obvious.

All in all a funny game with a light mood, which could need some polish in terms of gameplay.

Very charming. I love your use of audio and the art style was awesome. The footprints and tornado add a lot to the game. I'm really looking forward to seeing what you produce next time.

This is an awesome concept! Really like the sound effects too! Apart from maybe the "oh no" - graphics are pretty adorable too, particularly the sea :D

Awww I loved this... The mood is nice and light and fun. Sounds effects were class! The tornado kept getting me though, when I just wanted to dig!

Neat idea!

At first I thought the radio would give out a signal too, but then I saw there was money underneath ;P

I kept walking towards the tornado.

It was so friendly :)

It's a really cool game, very well made! I also like the music a lot, sound effects a bit less... Really enjoyed the game!
