About

Treasure Hunt is an action game based around Jack and the Beanstalk. You are Jack on his way to climb the beanstalk he watered to grow. While up there are beans to pick and throw at to knock the enemies out because of course ladybugs, flies, birds, and beetles are flying around to throw him off. Making it up to the sky clouds are lions and birds guarding the way to the castle with a drawbridge lowered at some times. In the Castle, a cat is chasing a mouse down the stairs and up the stairs is the giant sleeping. Jump around over them to meet up. Now, he has to do some tricky platforming while the goose is laying gold eggs to collect, and the princess is trapped along with the harp, gold, and coins.

After getting everyone and waking the giant, now it's time for Jack to make his way down the beanstalk while being chased by the giant and falling rocks. Finally, cutting the down the beanstalk will cause the giant to fall and after that Jack shares a kiss with the princess. The game loops with the enemies becoming faster and if Jack gets hit, he'll lose a life. For every 10,000 points, he will receive an extra life. The game is over once all of Jacks lives are gone and his high score is saved at the end.
