How does your game follow the theme?
The treasure is a build that works. Jitters, an anxious monkey who codes, forgot which commit in his repo was the last green build. You dig through his commits for it, and his nerves are the metal detector: the closer you dig, the calmer he looks. On the way you dig up forgotten stashes (loot), bugs (traps) and cold coffee (more time). 5 repos, 2 minutes.
What is at least one brainCloud feature your game uses?
Authentication (anonymous sign-in on load) and Leaderboards (a global all-time board; the player names their score at the end)

I enjoyed this game, I felt compelled to retry a few times to get a top spot on the leaderboard, the more I played the more I understood how to get a better score, which was a fun experience for me. I mostly follow the colors of the squares after I click them, and go towards the green. It's a fun mechanic, and as a fellow developer it's fun to see git being gamified like this, some of the characters reactions were pretty funny
Congratulations on the submission and well done!
It feels like a scratch and win lotto ticket simulator. That builds in some excitement. Initially I thought I had to dig down from the top of the card, but actually the player can uncover any square they want. I am not sure if there is a logical pattern to where the Bugs show up in the level or if it is strictly random. The timer applies plenty of pressure I had to play multiple times to complete "all" the levels. Each square has "serial codes" I am not sure if that is intended to be for a cryptocurrency functionality or something? The monkey is cute but maybe a digging creature would match the theme better, maybe he should be a Mole?
Found myself getting excited when I found the green out of nowhere, it’s like an alternate take of Minesweeper and I think hunting down the more vibrant shades of green is unique and makes for a cool experience that has more value to those experienced in coding!
A fun and relatable interpretation of the theme! The player could be given even more hints through additional power-ups or similar.
