Boulder Dash: Treasure Pleasure

Boulder Dash: Treasure Pleasure is another title in the long series that is Boulder Dash. In this one you, Rockford, have to explore a wide range of ship hulls, searching for valuable gems while making sure not to die from all the traps.

Boulder Dash: Treasure Pleasure you get to experience the same gameplay that has made this series popular, or course, with new mechanics. The goal of the game is a simple one. In each level you have to collect a number of gems and once you manage to, an exit portal opens to take you to the next challenge.

Initially, it’s a simple task and it stays so for a good bunch of levels, the tutorial ones. After you complete those, the real game begins and things get tricky in a good way, as they should in every puzzle title. Apart from falling rocks, you have to watch out for pirates, amoeba that keeps expanding, and a wide range of other dangers that will appear or you will unknowingly create.

I’ve always had a thing for Supaplex, a game that revolves around the same concepts of gameplay and every game like it that came along was good. If you’re into puzzles, there is a lot to like about Boulder Dash: Treasure Pleasure.

One of them is the fact that being a race against the clock, you have to solve the puzzles on the run. Sure, if you fail you get to try it over and over again but that first run is always intense; especially since there is always a good chance that you accidentally kill your character.

There is a good variety of levels to take on and each one is unique and combines the dangers in a new way.

Simply put, Boulder Dash: Treasure Pleasure is a nice game. It’s past its glory days but it still counts as a title you can enjoy anytime. The puzzles are nice, the gameplay is relaxing, it’s part of a bigger picture, just look at how successful this series has been throughout the years.
