Treasure Hunter – PICO-8 Adventure Game
Top-down pixel adventure built with PICO-8
About
Treasure Hunter is a small top-down pixel adventure game created with the fantasy console PICO-8. The project was part of an interaction design class where the challenge was to design and build a playable game within the technical limitations of the platform.
Players explore a small island as a treasure hunter searching for a stolen sacred crystal. By talking to characters, collecting items, and unlocking new areas, the player gradually uncovers how to return the crystal to the temple and restore peace to the island.
