It is a treasure hunt for gold and other things worth finding on a tropical island.

The plant growing animation is excellent. Really digged the game play loop once i figured out what was going on as well.
Such a cool and creative idea. I have always loved this kind of games and the "aha" moment when you finally know where you are on the map was great!
My favorite game so far. Also RIP big man
Thank you! this game is dedicated to all of the cousins who are no longer with us.
Fun game! I like how it doesn't hand hold and the player has to determine where they are. The art style is very cool as well. Great job!
Thank you! We are very lucky to have such a brilliant artist on our team
I loved this, really enjoyed the addition of the note at the end and working it out. The storytelling and ambience was top-notch. I found I enjoyed the easiest difficulty the most, but I did also manage to find the treasure on harder difficulty with some brain strain.
Thank you! The harder modes make my head hurt
Cool concept! Although I'm not sure "fake landmarks" is a fun gameplay element, I enjoyed the eerie vibes of the art and music, and racking my brain for a bit. Keep it up!
Thanks! The random perturbations of the map are a divisive design element, but we left them in the harder modes for people who enjoy suffering.

Cool game! Had fun with this one! Nice work!
Thank you! And a tip of the hat to you for working out one of the puzzles
