Goal
The goal of this game is to collect all treasures with your explorer. Dangerous scorpions try to eat you so you should avoid them. The scarabs will help you. When you collect one of those the scorpions temporarily become afraid and can be chased for points. Also sometimes a bonus treasure appears. Get the highest score and don't be eaten.

Playing
You steer your explorer using the arrow keys. You can already press the correct key before you reach the corridor (but keep it pressed).

Levels
The game has four levels. They become increasingly harder.

Design
Treasure is obviously not a trivial game to make. Still it is not too difficult. Here are a few issues that had to be dealt with:
There are four different explorer sprites because the explorer should look different depending on the direction of movement. In the keyboard events, the correct sprite is choosen.
The scorpion sprite consists of 4 different images, for each direction one. In the end step event, the correct subimage is choosen depending on the direction of motion.
The most difficult thing is the motion of the scorpions. They sometimes have to move into a side-corridor but there is no event that can trigger this. So there is a little script that is called in the step event of the scorpions to achieve this. In this version the scorpions don't try to go towards the explorer but that could be added.
