Treasure Adventure Game looks so D'AAAAAAW
Here's a trailer for what looks set to be yet another indie darling, Treasure Adventure Game. It's got everything you'd expect -- retro graphics, traditional platforming, a self-aware name and quite "bleepy" music. It also adds a parrot companion, which makes it superior. Check out the trailer (which naturally came to our attention via RPS) and bask in the D'AAAAAW! Treasure Adventure Game has a downloadable beta available right now. Check it out if you want. I am downloading as I type this. How exciting! Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
