There Can Be Only TREASURE!

There Can Be Only Treasure was developed in 2 days for a Game Jam to support the new GameNite system! The game is played by connecting to a local server with your phone to operate as a controller. Get 4 friends together with phones and have a blast! GameNite Console: https://playgamenite.com/

Game Overview / Objective of Play:

When the game starts, up to 4 connected players will spawn as a Pirate with a Ship and a Treasure Chest on their own private island. The goal is to collect treasure and stash it in your personal treasure chest- BUT- if you die you will drop all of your currently carried treasure for anyone else to loot! YOU MUST STASH THE TREASURE TO GET POINTS TO WIN. Pick up random treasure, steal treasure from your opponents chests, or blow up their boat and take whatever they have on them!

As you play, you may be controlling your Pirate or your Ship. Either can take damage as long as you are in control. Avoid the GIANT OCTOPUS! .... or don't, cuz I didn't have enough time to finish his features or many of the others I have planned yet. :P
