Crayola Treasure Adventure is a video game based on the Crayola company line of crayons developed by Firebrand Games and published by Crave Entertainment for the Nintendo DS. The player is a person lost on an island searching for treasure, with only a map and crayons.[2]
Gameplay[edit]
The game plays as a virtual colouring book. The game contains 100 colouring book pages and 120 of Crayola's signature shades, which match up to their real-life equivalents. Different settings let the player apply colour either in the patchy style of a real crayon, or in a more smooth texture.[3] The title has unlockable areas and pictures.
Development[edit]
A partnership between Crave Entertainment and Crayola to being Crayola themed video games into the market was announced on March 14, 2007.[4] The game premiered at the 2007 E3.[5] The title was due to be released onto store shelves in September of that year, but this was postponed to October.
Reception[edit]
Jeux Video felt the game's flaws would push aspiring artists to seek real-life colouring books instead.[6] Den Of Geek felt it was an "excellent puzzle and colouring game for younger children".[7] Pocket Gamer UK felt the title was much better as a virtual colouring book than as a game.[8] Eurogamer disliked the tiny amount of adventure game content.[9]
