Treasure Hunter Man is a freeware 2D platformer created by Bernie, featuring four dungeons with different themes to explore, a variety of inventory items to find for puzzle-solving purposes, unlockable skills, a couple of secrets, and two endings to discover.
"Treasure Hunter Man was a project born out of boredom. My better half insists on watching court shows, and I just HAD to do something productive while the fat lady judge in the TV rambled on about poisoned dildos and more. And so I sat down, at a laptop I didn't own, and installed MMF2. I started throwing things together until I had a working engine with a generic character with two generic weapons and a little piggy as an enemy. I took my project home and after a while, Treasure Hunter Man was done! Yet another game made with no planning. But I usually enjoy these projects the most." - Bernie

About The IGF
UBM TechWeb (producer of Game Developer magazine, Gamasutra.com, and the Game Developers Conference) established the Independent Games Festival in 1998 to encourage innovation in game development and to recognize the best independent game developers.
The competition, now in its 13th year, awarded a total of nearly $50,000 in prizes to deserving indie creators in Main Competition and Student Competition categories at the IGF Awards Ceremony, held in March 2010 at the Moscone Center, San Francisco, CA, as one of the highlights of the Game Developers Conference.
The Independent Games Festival will return in March 2011 at GDC in San Francisco - look for more information soon. [More information...]
