Treasures of the Deep is an Action Game for computer running Windows developed by Forge of Games and published by Oberon Media in 2006. The goal is breaking all bricks and other elements by bouncing a ball with a paddle. There are also treasure chests that don't have to be hit, but they do provide treasure that increases points, which is fitting since the game takes place underwater.

No relation to the 1997 PlayStation game of the same name.


This game provides examples of:

  • 1-Up: Picking up a weird cylindrical thing grants an additional life.
  • Breaking Out: You bounce a ball with a paddle-like object and try to destroy bricks and other objects that are present on the screen.
  • Hard Mode Perks: Playing on a harder difficulty makes the ball faster. Since the game gives you a time bonus if you go below a specified Ace Time, it should be possible to beat levels faster and get additional points if you're skilled enough.
  • Interactive Start Up: You can swipe at fish on the main menu with the mouse to make them go away.
  • Poison Mushroom: There are two items that increase the speed of the ball and make the bat shorter. It's clear they're negative because of the red coloration.
  • Score Screen: At the end of each level, you are shown the sum of your points based on time, treasures, and other bonuses.
  • Sea Mine: Black and red sea mines can be found on some levels. Touching one destroys the bat and makes you lose a life.
  • Spread Shot: A rocket block fires rockets in eight directions when hit, destroying all blocks along the way.
  • Teleportation: There are holes that teleport the ball to another based on color (so a purple teleport would lead to the other one that's purple).
  • Themed Cursor: The cursor is a yellow arrow with a blue ball, giving a slight nautical feel.
  • Under the Sea: The entire game takes place underwater, with seaweed and fish in the background.
