I have two suggestions, though:\r1)Unique item textures, from what I've seen every treasure is just a star\r2)The beeps seemed kind of random. Maybe that was intentional, but I had multiple beeps on places where there was no treasure"},{"author_name":"elpaulo","author_uid":"36669","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 9:23pm","epoch":1398806280,"text":"Yaaaa ha haaaa !

Your post has the controls at the end of the line that starts with "The aim of the game..." so I initially missed it and had no idea how to interact with the game.\r\rI only found one treasure, I guess I was supposed to go deeper although I dug every tile at least twice.

Move with the arrow keys and dig with spacebar. \r\n\r\nYou may hear a beep - this indicates that you are close to a treasure. Depth is a factor in this. It doesn't turn off when you find it! Sorry. You can play without sound, it'll take you longer to find things but you can always make pretty pictures in the sand as you go. Or, just wildly mash the buttons until something turns up.\r\n\r\nWINDOWS: Packaged.
