I briefly beta tested this game.
This Adventuron game has you searching for seashells on a beach. Pretty soon, though, things take a drastic turn, and you end up (Spoiler - click to show)being able to cast spells!
The game also utilizes two protagonist perspectives which is nice, reminding me of the old Atlantis Indiana Jones game.
Overall, the mechanics worked well for me. I think the design of the game could have supported an even larger game, but it's pretty substantial already and is part of a competition for beginners, so it makes sense.
