    A platformer side-scroller game. You have a guy (or woman) and collect coins on the surface and under the ground. You use this to exchange for inventory stuff. You have to find colored keys to open the treasure chests and to get past the doors blocking your route. It's not a arcade shoot em up or a RPG. it's something in between.

You use this to exchange for inventory stuff. You have to find colored keys to open the treasure chests and to get past the doors blocking your route. It's not a arcade shoot em up or a RPG. it's something in between. You have quests to finish (keys) while deciding how much to use fighting the bad guys. Pretty cool.

    Pros:
    Fun. Good graphics. Great soundtrack. Multiple characters to choose from. Keyboard, controller and touchscreen support. PC, macintosh and linux versions. Super long gameplay that seems like it will take forever to finish. Lots of bad guys. Overall, just a lot a blast to play.

    Cons:
    You have to read the instructions to play. There are instructions included in the game. Also, there is a helper thing where you learn have to play. A quickstart.

    I found this on the Steam festival event thing and recommend it.    … Expand

    As they said, it does remind me of Pitfall and Indiana Jones. You are in a jungle and have to collect gems throughout the game. Using the pause menu, you swap these for torches to see under the ground and oxygen tanks for breathing under the water. I do like the 4 characters included (man and woman and 2 younger versions).

It took me several hours to get to the end of the first stage so the game is huge. Lots of play time. For some reason there is no score to accomplish but I guess it's the journey/quests that you are playing for. This was a pleasant surprise and one of the better games of 2020.… Expand

    A better than normal platformer. Games like Super Mario, Sonic the Hedgehog and Pitfall! come to mind when looking at this game. The controls work great, the graphics are good looking cartoony, the gameplay is top notch and the instructions/help area is nice. If you are into platformer type games then this should be on your try list

    A neat little game that one has to look for to find. There are so many games on steam these days that it's tough to find anything. I was pleasantly surprised. There is a demo to play first before you buy which made it a lot easier to get going.

    I liked this game as it's fun and looks good.

The game is a mix of RPG and Arcade style game where you have to explore different stages by finding the keys and finishing the quests to find treasure. A true gem to play in this day and age.

    You get to experience the best jungle exploration adventure in the hunt for treasure. The game has a lot to offer. Let's take it step-by-step.

    Pros:
    - 4 characters to start with (Male and Female, both). Very flexible in terms of characters and baddies.
    - You get to experience an immersive story with a variety of villains like snakes, sharks, jellyfishes, apes, and a lot more.
    - Full of traps hidden everywhere that makes this game challenging along with the 6 huge stages where you have to hunt that treasure.
    - Multiple control methods like Keyboard, Mouse, Controller, and even touchscreen was included.
    - Great graphics with an exquisite soundtrack, making this a blast to play with your friends.
    - The game offers a free demo before buying, and that helped me to choose this game even though I was a little skeptical at first.
    - Unlike any other arcade game, the gameplay is longer and the stages won't be finished in the blink of an eye.

    Cons:
    - To get a good grip on this game, you must read the instructions. That kind of gets in the way if you're looking for something more arcadish.
    - The game doesn't offer any score upon beating up the bad guys. You just have to get the treasure, destroy the bad guys that come in your way, and ace the competition.

    The game is available on Steam. With both the demo versions and the paid ones, you can decide for yourself. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS MASTERPIECE.    … Expand

    At school we all look for the best games. I like side-scrollers. When I found this game it was pretty good. Everyone I know likes it. I like the girl characters. Most games only have boy ones so this is neat. It is fun to play.

    This is an amazing game that looks to be an updated version of a game like Pitfall!. All of the elements are there. The Indiana Jones theme is brilliant with a touch of retro thrown. This has got to be one of the best games of 2020. I am looking forward to finding more lost gold in the jungles and finish the game.
    Highly recommended!

    It's just like the other reviewers say it is: a Indiana Jones jungle adventure. Actually, it probably would be better described as a young Indiana Jones adventure because it looks cartooney verses serious. And that is a big plus. Check it out.

    A friend recommended this to me as I like platformer type games (mario, sonic, fez). After playing this for a bit I was hooked. This is a neat little game that is fun to play. It's not to easy and not to hard. The main premise is you collect coins and use them to buy inventory items. There is no score so it's more of a quest type game.

    One of the better games this year. There is only so many things you can do in a platformer game, right? But this seems to have everything. It's entertaining, fullfilling, fun to play and very long. Maybe too long. It took me several hours to finish the first stage alone. Recommend!

    As with all games, one has to rate and review within its own category. So this is being judged against other 2D indie platformer games. Other one might look OK with 2-3 levels of background moving but this has over 10. Others might have some options in the menus while this has tons of options and settings. When you compare this to others it just has a lot more. But that is not enough.As with all games, one has to rate and review within its own category.

    This is one of those gems your find by going indie. I am so sick of the same 3D game over and over from the big companies. This is a nice find that should be on any indie list. It's a cool side scroller platformer 2d game. It's really big too. Several hours of play on each stage. Recommend.

    This is one of those games that go by word-of-mouth. I found it on a chat room and decided to try out the free demo. I loved it so I bought it. By rating an indie game helps them out. The big guys have tons in advertising but the small guys do not. I though this is only fair to give equal advertising to the indies. BTW: the best games are by indies.
