Amazing Game. The puzzles were just perfect, neither hard nor easy—great music and sound. There were times when the character got stuck, but it was a minor bug and did not cause any issues. overall great submission.

Game description
So, you want to be a Thief? Treasure Quest is a homage to the Point-and-Click adventure games of the golden era of gaming - the late 80's and early 90's. Enjoy entirely "hand-crafted" pixel art and a specially composed soundtrack while you attempt to solve the secrets of Ben "Mad Dog" McRee and find his hidden stash of gold bars. This is your first heist, but will it be your last?
Theme interpretation
I thought the theme was perfect for an 'Escape Room' type of game, so I took that idea and blended it with a classical Point-and-Click 2D pixelated adventure game, and created Treasure Quest. Players will need to discover a secret in order to find their way out of the room they're in.
Wildcards used (optional)
Speed Run
Make time the enemy

Thanks. What your experiencing there is a collider thats preventing him from moving the way he SHOULD be moving. I need a better solution for this kind of game, like a 2D Nav Mesh which was not natively available at the time. There are actually just great packages available for free that make this kind of game much more workable so I'm going to check those out. Thanks so much for playing. I definitely think I should continue to build this with the next scene being the dark passageway behind the door :)
Honestly with Unity I've never bothered with their navmesh stuff - it was 5 years too late, and way too weak for what it does. Much better to roll your own for simple cases (like this) or get one of the assets that does it far better I think (e.g. the A* free assets that have been around for 15 ish years now)
Thanks for playing :) I definitely had to try and go for quality over quantity here as the artwork took me so long to do! There is a little easter egg around why he cant go back out the window and you discover it when you click on the window :D Glad you had a moment of fun with this, and I will definitely check your game out as well.
the First Clue is on the portrait of Ben, who represent Benjamin Franklin, who made significant contributions to the understanding of electricity. It's a sum you need to do based on the numbers you'll find when you look at/click on the painting. Enter those 3 numbers into the power box for the next step.

Thanks for playing! I guess with this kind of game I'm keen to see what people think of the puzzle difficulty, as the other side of it is that it's too hard and nobody gets to finish it. Will check your game out.
