What a great twist on Minesweeper! I just wish there was a casual mode that didn't involve the clock for more than score bonus. That way, I would never play Minesweeper again, I'd just play this.

Thanks man. Feedback has been pretty mixed so it's nice to hear somebody liked it! A relaxed mode does sound like it could have been a great addition.
I thought this was a pretty neat twist on minesweeper.
The good:
The multiple layer thing
Knowing how many treasures are left
Having more than one life (could be optional for an additional challenge
The bad:
Didn't like being timed
Initially confusing despite tutorial
Only 3 maps, quickly over
Digging wrong square wasted both in-game time and IRL time. Why not just have -score?
2x powerup is gone almost immediately.
I'd love to see a randomized map mode, or an even harder map with several layer areas. Larger maps couldn't hurt.

Thanks! Good suggestions and fair criticisms. I really wish I had had more time to add more content.
This is a nice game. The graphics are decent and the sound effects are nice as well. The gameplay is definitely was inspired by Minesweeper (a game at which I was pretty good once), but you added your own ideas (digging up treasures, instead of flagging mines). So Minesweeper only acts as an inspiration to this game.
The gameplay itself is pretty simple. Click to walk, press Space to dig. But a good game doesn't need to be overly complex (just think about Tetris, for example). Often it's the more simple games that are the most enjoyable. Treasure Sweeper is an enjoyable game and it's simple controls make it a good game to waste some time with it, like during the lunch break or when you have nothing else to do at the moment.
