The Story of Treasure Galaxy
The game's story begins with a villain named the Master of Mischief. He was sent away from another place called Treasure Cove!. After that, he went to a beautiful place in space called Crystal City.
The Master of Mischief caused big trouble there. He changed regular asteroids into dangerous "Disasteroids." Then, he attacked Crystal City and broke its special crystals into many pieces. To save the city, a group of heroes called the Super Seekers are called into action. Their mission is to find all the broken crystal pieces and stop the Master of Mischief.
How to Play Treasure Galaxy
The main goal in Treasure Galaxy! is to find all the scattered crystals. Once you collect them, you need to bring them back to the queen in her palace. To get the crystals, you first have to catch glowing fireballs. These fireballs are called "sunbeams."
Solving Sunbeam Riddles
When you catch a sunbeam, it will ask you a riddle. If you answer the riddle correctly, the sunbeam helps you. It gives you clues to a secret code. This code is needed to open the satellites where the crystals are hidden. Each part of the game has a different code. This means you will always have new puzzles to solve.
Exploring Different Stages
The game has three main areas, which are called "orbits." You must complete challenges in one orbit before moving to the next. To unlock the next stage, you need to find a special 4-digit passcode.
You get parts of the passcode by helping friendly aliens. These aliens give you different challenges. The challenges are like real-world problems. For example, you might use a calendar to find a date. You could also solve tangram puzzles. Sometimes, you will measure things with a ruler or a scale.
Game Difficulty and Rewards
The game changes how hard the puzzles are based on how well you play. If you do really well, the game becomes more challenging. This means there will be more crystals to find. Also, more "Disasteroids" will try to steal your "star bucks." Star bucks are like money in the game.
The computer game always starts with an interesting story. This helps you understand your mission.
