Welcome to "Tiny Treasures" - a charming adventure in a world of limited space and hidden treasures. In this small game, you'll step into the shoes of someone moving into a smaller house, embarking on a journey filled with mystery, discovery, and the joy of the unknown. Your mission? Uncover the secrets concealed within a series of enigmatic boxes, each holding valuable items that will shape your cozy new life.

Are you ready to unlock the hidden potential of each box and make the best choices as you embrace the cozy charm of your limited space? Get ready for an experience that combines strategy, anticipation, and the thrill of exploration!

How to Play:


Mouse Controls: Use your mouse to interact with the game world. The left mouse button is your key to selecting boxes and tools, while the right mouse button will send them back to their place.

Keeping or Throwing Away Boxes: With a box selected, you have two choices. Click on the truck to keep the box and reveal its contents, or click on the dumpster bin to throw it away. Choose wisely, as every decision affects your cozy new life.

Tools at Your Disposal: Three essential tools will aid you in your quest:

X-Ray Tool: This tool allows you to get a glimpse of box contents without fully revealing them. Use it strategically to uncover hidden treasures.

Weight Scale: You'll find a weight scale that helps gauge the weight of boxes. Use it to make informed decisions based on the value-to-weight ratio.

Magnifying Glass: The magnifying glass provides you with a closer look at the contents of a box, revealing more details. Use it wisely to spot valuable items.

Observation is Key: Pay close attention to the visual cues on the boxes. These hints will guide you toward making the right choices. Some boxes may be heavy but valuable, while others might be decoys. Calculate your risks carefully to maximize your rewards.

Are you ready to embark on a journey of discovery and cozy living?

Fun take on the theme! At first I thought it was more similar to Unpacking, but I guess that's quite out of scope for a game jam, haha! A little audio could have added a bit more player feedback and atmosphere. Overall a cute entry tho!

Intresting concept, I wish the game told me the score I lost as well because now I need to go back to the start and pick different items, also the animations was a bit slow for me.

Cool! I love the take on the theme. I think it's a solid foundation that can be built on. I had fun playing a totally different style of unpacking game than the one my team came up with :)

You put together some lovely little scenes and utilized the theme in a way that is hard to argue with :P Well done

I like the idea a lot, though I had absolutely no idea what would score what. Even now, I am not entirely sure what is worth it and what isn't. Still, I like the concept a lot and I can see the basis for a very nice and chill game!

Honestly, there isn't much fun in clicking boxes and playing in the truck at all times. I don't know what I should throw in the recycling bin, so I throw a few boxes in there too. and that's all, playing cash. The graphics are good, I know that jam time sometimes doesn't give us time to implement what we would like. So I don't know if you would add any mechanics, because for now it's just throwing boxes into the truck, there's no difficulty or reason to continue.

Interesting game, though I didn't feel there were enough clues to really decide on what to put in the truck and what to put in the bin. Nice graphics though. Good effort.

I had a hard time to figure how to decide were to put boxes. And the xray goes empty too quickly.

Good job! Interesting idea and very nice graphics.

Nice graphics and cute feel to the game. I would have like to have seen what I threw away as well! Also after a couple of levels I realise I could just take what I wanted and leave everything else behind - there was no real reason to use the bin.

Really interesting take on the theme, enjoyed reading the stuff on the boxes and trying to figure out what to keep or trash. A bit of audio or sound effects would of helped with knowing if I've clicked on something for extra feedback but that's nitpicking and overall, a really solid effect. Great stuff! ^-^
