SUMMARY: Stay within the wheel and collect treasure

Wheeler's Treasure is a game where your entire goal is to collect various treasures all while trying to stay alive as long as possible. The game is essentially a platformer with a ton of different gameplay elements and some pretty challenging gameplay. The entire game takes place within a wheel that is rolling along the ground.

You are a pirate who's entire goal is to grab treasure while rolling within the wheel. I don't see how that is the most effective way to grab treasure but that's what you do. In the game you can unlock various items such as the hook with allows the player to grapple onto the wheel and the boots which will give you a second jump. The gameplay went pretty smooth overall but I did have my complaints. The game throws everything it can at you with little explanation aside from telling me to jump on anything that moves. There are these stupid crows that fly around and steal all your coins robbing you of the only thing that can repair your wheel. So unless you can jump on the crows, which is very hard, jump on the bombs and cannonballs, dodge the bats and jump on the skeletons... your game is going to end very quickly.

Overall, it was definitely fun and I keep coming back to try for more distance, but it just seems like it could have been made to play a little smoother.
