The expedition has just today departed from London. We are expecting to arrive at our first stop, Bermuda, in a few weeks. Hopefully, I'll be able to find some shiny things for my collection that will impress the lads in the science club."
Somewhere amongst these waters, an infamous group of pirates had been hiding the loot from their countless raids in a single underground chamber. But their insatiable greed lead to their own inescapable demise. They were hit by a terrible curse and their treasures were left unprotected in the bottommost parts of their once mighty fortress. According to the rumors, this is also the last known residense of the legendary Atlantis Crystal, which is estimated to be worth several thousand pounds, and most importantly - it is said to be the shiniest gem on the seven seas!
Explore the forgotten pirate lair to find the Atlantis Crystal. But beware - There are traps and puzzles everywhere, and your health won't regenerate naturally! Four color-coded puzzles are locking the door to the deepest cavern. Are you up to the task?

Review Summary
Puzzle your way through a beautiful pirate cave to recover the lost Crystal of Atlantis. Gorgeous architecture and colorful details throughout. Fantastic use of particle and animated block mechanics, without feeling gimmicky. Enjoyed the in-game map that toggles based on your veritcal level, and the simple shop system. Slightly laggy. The puzzles were simple, yet challenging - no instructions other than the layout of the room. Once you do figure out how to do the puzzles, they are fairly easy and it's only mildly obvious when you finish them (with the exception of the red room which is clear). Really enjoyed this!
If you need any help, ask. I'm having it playtested at the moment.
There's not much story to it, but i can say this much: to get to the treasure you will have to solve 4 main puzzles, red, blue, green and yellow, which are scattered around the dungeon. Good luck!

There's a thing a lot of maps nowadays completely lack. A certain polish, something that shows that the mapmaker actually put time and effort into the map hoping to make something that is enjoyable and professional. This map has it, and that makes me happy.

I'm thankful for your appreciation. It's good to know that my spare time the past 6 months was well spent.
This Was an awesome map i would play this thing over and over but that would get boring. Dude i was loosing things to do in minecraft servers sometimes there's too many hackers or cheaters and its boring and survival can get boring playing it to long and some of my other games i played to much and wanted to take a break. But this map was such good spending of my time thank you this map was so fun bye

It's good to know that the map is worthwhile, after spending so much time on it myself.
Fun map! i also had some confusion about purchasing items - perhaps name the coins in the frames - "Costs 4 gold" instead of "4 gold" ? great work by the way! i recorded and will be posting it on the you tubes!

I think I'm actually gonna do that. People don't seem to understand the shops right away, which I'd like them to. Looking forward for the video though!
I will probably be making a new (hopefully the final) update to the map soon. I'm watching people's playthroughs and noting all the things that I could improve. (Such as spelling "crystal" right, what was i thinking when i wrote "chrystal"?!)
Also, I have looked through the You-tubes and found that at least 15 channels including CaptainSparklez have featured the map. Hooray!

The map can be played by any number of people.
If you DO play multiplayer, notice that there are command blocks running, so of course Bukkit won't work. -sorry.
The estimated playtime is 45-60 minutes.
Please tell me if you get stuck. Also, make sure to tell me all the things you really hate about the map, and I will try to fix it.

The map now has to be played in Minecraft 1.8.1 or above.
Enjoy!

Only thing i regret so far is the horribly unoriginal title of the map.

Confidence boost of the day! Thank you.

Thanks! I'm loving all the video responses that i get. I'm also glad you like it, although it definitely is a lot different with two players.

Episode 2 is up

Watched both perspectives of the playthrough. They are much appreciated!

Glad to see the map is doing well, it is definitely a fun one to play with friends
Yeah, only reason i recommended playing it singleplayer was because the dungeon map could bug with multiple players.
Nice video by the way.
