Hunting Treasure

by arachne
Hunting Treasure is a single-screen game where you play as a mimic who wants to fool a silly adventurer. Adventurers are greedy and lurk around for money.

=== Instructions ===

If you can tempt the adventurer, you'll get to munch on some bones for supper. Walk onto the teleporters to get to new rooms, but DON'T let the adventurer see you move!

Use the arrow keys to walk around.

=== Tools ===

Hunting Treasure is written in straight-up from-scratch C++ and WebGL. It uses Emscripten to compile this into asm.js which is a JavaScript subset that is reasonably performant.

The pixel art was made in Pro Motion 6.5

We didn't have time for audio :(

=== The team ===

Programming: Hans-Kristian Arntzen (@Themaister)
Art: Agnes Heyer (@agnesheyer)

Great fun! It would be awesome to see further levels with multiple adventurers to hunt and avoid. That and maybe adventurers using portals. Love the artwork

I wish it wasn't so short! But I liked what there was of it, especially the graphics!

Enjoyable game! Wouldn't run in chrome, but it worked in Firefox :)
Nice art, could be more challenging if the adventurer were faster. Fun!

It lacks a bit of content/gameplay (like multiple adventurers at the same time, that would get more and more challenging?), but the execution is great.
Awesome art. :)

Funny game, good idea, but I don't understand how to finish this game...)

Fun, feel like the mechanic can be taken much further after the jam!

Clever idea! The teleporters definitely added a nice element to the challenge, shame you didn't have time for audio!

Hey great job. Very clever take on the theme. There's potential here; you could delve deeper into the game mechanic of doing things to create attraction while avoiding revelation. Interesting idea!

It was fun to play, but even with 40 gold I couldn't seem to attract the adventurer's attention!
