Island Treasures

Island Treasures is a 2D pixel action-adventure game about exploration and collecting. You play as Jack, a pirate captain searching a cursed island for legendary treasure, guided by a tattered sea chart: “The Golden Skull points the way. The treasure belongs to the greediest.” The island has five worlds, where you fight monster guardians, gather treasure and find the items needed to progress.

Explore the island

Each world contains gold coins, gems and a set number of Golden Skulls, which you need to unlock the next world. Search every corner, including behind hidden walls and inside enemies, to find the skulls. You also need to find keys to open locked chests; these contain map fragments, and you must collect all the fragments to move on.

Fight and collect

Use your cutlass for melee attacks or throw daggers at enemies from a distance, switching between the two to deal with different foes. Guardians drop gold when defeated. Pick up gold, gems and other treasure to increase your score, and collect 1-up items to earn extra lives.

Escape challenges

The final stage of each major world is a deadly escape. You may need to outrun a giant saw wheel or an unstoppable monster, dodge enemy gunboats while fighting back at sea, or climb away from rising magma underground. These four types of escape sequences test your reflexes and route planning, and each has its own visuals and music.

Island settings

The island’s levels range from sunlit beaches to dark caves and lava-filled volcanic interiors. Golden Skulls and keys are hidden throughout, sometimes in plain sight and sometimes requiring a closer search.
