[GM6] Marcus Treasure Hunt (Zipped EXE)

[Joacim Andersson]

This is a demo of a game I'm currently developing. It's a maze/puzzle game that is inspired by one of my favorite games of yesteryears, Microsoft's Chip's challenge.

The goal of the game is to guide Marcus (named after my nephew) around and collect all the gold coins and reach the exit to get to the next level, sound simple enough... Yes, it would if it wasn't for all the traps and monsters that lurks everywhere, and there is also a time factor to consider. There are many puzzles to be solved to be able to get all the coins and to reach the exit.

I've planned to have at least 60 different levels or maybe as many as 100. However this demo only contains 13 levels, but it should keep you going for an hour or two. You don't have to play all levels in one sitting since the game is automatically saved at the beginning of each level so you can exit the game at any point and then load it again and start from the level you last leaved it.

The game requires DirectX 8.0 or later, no other dependencies, no installation just run the EXE file.

I actually liked it.

Reading your reply it sounds as if you're surprised I guess you never played Chip's Challange then .

This game is not a direct copy of that game in any way, but I hope I managed to get the same kind of addictive feeling in to it

good work JA. i finished the game.

BTW, i think there are 14 levels and not 13.

[Joacim Andersson]

Yeah, there are 14 levels, it was just a small typo.
