For the lore behind the red pentagram, check out the last installment in the PROFESSORQUEST EXTENDED UNIVERSE (PQEU) released in last year's Winter Game Jam, PROFESSORQUEST. Maybe you will find your answers there...

Although the concept is a little silly as far as interpretations of the theme go, and the graphics are nothing special, the gameplay is surprisingly addicting. It definitely needs a little more polish (for example, burnout mode starting immediately can catch you off guard and kill you instantly because you're still in a friends radius) but it's really really fun overall

The art is really well done and music being composed by on-site people is very impressive for a jam. That said, the gameplay is pretty stale, with your punishment for picking up more items just being that the game gets slower and more boring. 

I also never encountered a robber while trying for a good bit, though that might just be unlucky on my end. 

Performance is not very good. Games like these should calculate the physics of water and sand as larger chunks instead of each pixel individually... the idea is very neat, though, having to dig for gold.
