I created this thread for people who haven't played/need help with this hack. It won 1st place for the Halloween level contest for level design, and 2nd place in scariness, 1st went to MATTAN (Good job dude!)
Screens:
I have included a readme with the hack but for you lazy folks, here it is:
"I have tried to include both aspects of scariness and level design in there, but you have to explore the whole level to see them to their full extent.
There are 2 exits, and plenty of secret areas for you to find, so just incase you think you have found everything to be found, check this list:
-Secret stash #1
-Secret stash #2
-Secret stash #3
-Secret Stash #4
(These are relativly easy to find)
-My hidden message room
(This isn't too easy nor too hard to find)
-Super Secret Bonus room
(You may have some trouble finding this, first person wins a cookie (Don't spoil it and cheat ))
So there you have it, good luck with finding everything, and like I said, explore every room and search every door for nice treats or nasty tricks >"
Well, I played through this, and it was spooktacular! (Gotta stop saying that )
The level design was superb, I love all the hidden paths and doors, it really gave off a haunted mansion vibe to it. And of course, the "gravedigging" aspect was quite unique as well .
I liked the choice of music, perfectly eerie. I noticed some of the tracks, but were any of them custom made by you?
Anyway, thumbs up, and congratulations on winning. From this, I have confidence that Buried Treasure will be awesome .
Il just say this, cos I have had a few people PM me asking how to get past the first area, Press down when you are infront of the graves, and when you are underground, the coins tell you that you can go up (like a pipe).
The secrets shouldnt be too hard to find, but the one that should get pretty much everyone stumped is the Super Secret Bonus, this will be very hard to find, let alone get to.
I don't know why, but I can't seem to get by the 1st area with the tombstone pipes and that 1 underground bit. Every pipe and combination of pipes I've tried just leads me in a circle around the 1st area. I could use some help on this bit :/
Judging based only on this 1 area I'm stuck in, it looks really nice. The music is really good, the exgfx are great, and the overall scariness level is high (eek!).
It was very fun, though the tombstone maze was bugging me, and I STILL can't find the secret exit, maybe I can get some help please?
EDIT: Nevermind I found it MWAHAHAHAH! 666TH POST! THE SCARY POST! >%D
Go down the 4th gravestone, through the cave and back out, then go down the grave next to the one you came out of, then go down the one you come out of, the rest is pretty self explanitory.</p>
Spooky Spoiler 2: Secret exit hint:
The route to the secret exit is located somewhere in the main hall (the first room you enter)</p>
I found maybe 5 or 6 areas with 1ups (I don't know if they all count as stashes or if I found one of them twice), and I found the message room, too
Also... I found the super secret bonus room! I was actually surprised when I found it, because I never thought I'd be able to find it, given the incredible hiding spot. I'll pm Kc the proof, so as to prove I did it without giving away the surprise to anyone else

Great job dude, I'm suprised that you did, I thought it would have taken a long time for people to find it .
All I can say is, if I was stuck in a real life place like this, I would probably kill myself first thing... Until I noticed how nicely designed it was!
