Indie Statik writes: "I'm really happy with how the art has turned out," Stephen tells me as we begin to talk. The art is the biggest change that Treasure Adventure World (TAW), the HD commercial remake of his previous freeware effort, boasts. Surprisingly, the job of switching out pixels for the smooth cartoon-like art assets is being handled by one "insane, super fast" artist from Chucklefish, Christine Crossley. She worked on the concept art for Starbound and has since transferred to scribbling as fast as her hands will allow her for TAW, which is apparently at a very productive rate.
On its surface, Treasure Adventure World seems like an extraordinary generic experience. It’s a puzzle platformer with an emphasis on exploration, a few extremely varied locations and requires you to unlock abilities to uncover new areas. All you need is to mention Mario, and it would sound like something from the SNES era. However, the game quickly proves to be far more than just the sum of its parts. Furthermore, while its essential component mechanics are borderline archaic, it uses them so well you can often end up forgetting that little detail.
BacklogCritic: "Treasure Adventure World is a jump back to the days of old-school puzzle platformers. Great platforming mechanics and interesting dungeons help this game shine bright, but weak combat leaves a lot to be desired. Overall, this is a great quick-fix game if you need some fast-paced platforming action."
Indie gaming site Cliqist reports on Robit Games' release of their game Treasure Adventure World, a remake of their freeware title Treasure Adventure Game.
