I wish it was more explorative and less time-focused! Nice game though. Very solid gameplay

We were, at one point, thinking about doing an "Exploration Mode" where you'd be able to go about the level at your own pace, without time limit... but a lot of concessions had to be made to meet the deadline, unfortunately. It's definitely something we are considering if we spruce up the game a bit more after the jam is all wrapped! Thank you for checking out the game!

A lot of work went into the environment, both for the art and the layout! Thanks for the recognition!

Thanks! :-)
Yes, the rock piles are randomly placed. There's (I think) 17 spawn areas defined on the map, and each run it'll pick a subset of them to spawn treasures in, and also place them in a random position within that spawn area. We had hoped to encourage folks to really learn the map, so they'd know how to quickly get from place to place.

Thanks! Hehe, yeah, the math problems started out in the first prototype as a "TODO put real puzzle here" but we ended up (unexpectedly) liking it, so we made a better UI and kept it. :-)

Sorry to hear that. For the moment, you should definitely give one of the downloadable versions a try!

Thanks! Yeah, if we had more time, it would have been nice to have a way to enter the answers with the keyboard (not just typing the numbers, though, a buried treasure with a digital interface wouldn't fit with the "lore" ;-)) and controller for accessibility
Nice little treasure hunt game. I really liked the level design, the environment is quite readable ! I just let my instincts guide me and I found all the treasures, but at the same it was not too easy. Hats off. Just one small thing : I did not really like the math puzzles, but that's probably because I suck at mental math.
Oh and by the way I managed to unlock the last crate at the last second and this happened
