Traps ‘n’ Treasures
Traps 'n' Treasures is a platforming and action-adventure video game developed by Roman Werner for the Amiga. The game was first released in Germany in 1993 by Starbyte Software. The English version of the game was released a few months later, in 1994, by Krisalis Software.
The player has to help pirate captain Jeremy Flynn to rescue his captured crew from his enemy Redbeard.
Traps 'n' Treasures features four very large levels containing all sorts of puzzles, surprises and hidden features – many of which require the player to perform a series of actions to uncover potentially massive bonuses. Many of the puzzles involve moving and positioning crates to gain access to higher points in the levels. Jeremy Flynn can use both weapons and tools to solve puzzles, traverse levels or fight enemies. He can buy new tools, weapons, medical kits and fruit by collecting coins and spending them in shops located throughout the levels. The game's interface features a classic health bar, as well as a "vitamin bar" that gradually fills up as Jeremy collects fruit, rewarding the player with another life when it is full.
Traps 'n' Treasures showcases an exceptional level of polishing in regard to its visuals, music, animation, puzzle mechanic and sound design.
