Treasure Bird in Dreamland is a 2d platformer set in a fantasy world. The hero of the story is Raum, a magical crow who has been tasked to steal treasure. As Raum you will travel to lands inspired by mythology, Valhalla, Olympus, Shangra La, and others, to steal treasure from the castles of kings. The game is heavy on exploration, and harkens back to the classic 2d platformers of yesteryear. Hidden across it’s vast vertical panoramas are rubies that need to be collected to advance to the next stage as well as all manner of gems, coins, and treasure chests. Your quest will not be easy as all manner of strange demons, slime creatures, and traps will block your path. Can you make your way to the massive final boss and achieve your redemption? Why does a crow want treasure? You will have to hone your platforming skills if you want to find out!

Why do characters always steal items in video games? Is there some sort of “finder’s keepers” rule in effect in all these digital worlds? Well, it seems that Treasure Bird in Dreamland makes stealing a plot point. As a crow, you must rob from the rich and give to the poor. This entails picking up random gems, coins, and opening up treasure chests to loot them. Raum’s journey takes him to such mythological locales as Olympus and Valhalla. In all, there are set to be seven levels (unless they reach stretch goals to add more, of course).So how does Treasure Bird in Dreamland actually play? Well, it’s a 2D platformer with more of a focus on verticality. After all, you’re a bird which means you can fly! Giving too much flying freedom would take away the fun of platforming, though. The developers have combated this by making each wing flap equivalent to a double jump from other games. Instead of having infinite flying abilities you can only use six wing flaps before needing to rest. Six still seems like a pretty big number but we’ll see how it plays along with the level design.

Once you get beyond the flight mechanic there’s still a lot of classic platformer stylings at play. The art style is nice and pixelated, chiptunes provide the soundtrack, high scores are tallied each level, and you have only a set number of lives before getting a game over. Treasure Bird in Dreamland has a funding goal of $3,000 for release via the Chrome Web and Mac App stores.
