This game, pardon the pun, is a hidden treasure, especially for anyone looking for something quick and simple to play.

Pirates & Treasure, by Tim Drew, is basically a small collection of mini-games bundled together with a very funny story of one pirate captain’s quest for rum and riches. Fans of games like WarioWare will want to check it out.
The art is very simplistic and stylized, but very well presented, and fits the lighthearted nature of the game quite well. The sound is pretty good, mostly ambience and effects, but they fill the silence of your lonely, lonely life well enough.

The gameplay isn’t anything spectacular. It’s mostly simple point and click or arrow reaction type mini-games, but the overall variety of play makes this game so much fun.

The only bad thing I have to say ’bout this game is it’s too short. When you beat it (in about 10 minutes) you will unlock the minigames gallery, which has all the games you just beat, plus one new sliding square puzzle.

Even though it ended to fast, and there’s not much replay value, the first play-through is a lot of fun, so give this game a go right now, or ye’ll be walkin’ the plank matey!
