This
week’s game is (drum roll please) … Caribbean Treasure!

Caribbean Treasure is a cute little freebie adventure
in which you control an animated character (seen above). Your goal is to find
the hidden treasure on the island, going though a variety of inventory puzzles.
There is only one true puzzle at the end of the game, but it is pretty rudimentary.
The story and characters aren’t well-developed, but that’s to be expected from
such a short game. You’re an explorer who has traveled to this island in search
of treasure. The island was once a tourist spot, but the island was rife with
danger and the people left. Sure enough, there are plenty of ways to die in this
game, especially if you don’t act fast enough. Luckily, the tasks to overcome
the handful of monsters in this game are not difficult, and if you die the game
restores automatically to a safe point immediately before.

The only thing
that troubled me was the navigation. The left mouse button is used to interact
with hotspots. Easy enough. You also use the right mouse button to walk the character
from place to place, but it is awkward and difficult to use, since the character
doesn’t always respond to the cues to move to the next screen. It turns into a
click-fest trying to get from screen to screen. This is probably a fault with
the creation program, Klik & Play. Thankfully there is a magic map on this
island that allows travel from area to area easily.

Overall, this game is
not particularly exciting, but if you have a thing for playing every adventure
game known to man, then you should give this one a shot. Otherwise, leave it be
and wait for better free adventures (reviews coming soon). In the meantime, post
a message or two on the JA
Forum and talk about adventure games!
