Ahoy mateys! It’s that time of year again! The Newgrounds Treasure Hunt is here! Captain @The-Great-One is here to take you on a voyage throughout Newgrounds!
There were many great entries on the site in 2024. Throughout the year though, many entries tend to slip through the cracks. This is where you come in! We’re on a swashbuckling tour to find the greatest treasures and hidden gems from all of the Portals; Movies, Games, Audio, and Art!
Those who find the best treasure will be rewarded with treasure of their own! Not only will you win, but the person who made the treasure will win as well!
TO ENTER
To enter, share a link for a maximum of one entry in each of the categories (movie, game, audio, art) by linking to it in this thread. You can link to an entry by simply pasting its URL by itself on a line; NG will convert it to a more visual link with a thumbnail and all that good stuff.
Check the list before posting; if a scallywag has an entry that has been marked already, ye can nah submit it yourself. Dat treasure has been claimed and marked with an X.

HUNTING TIPS
In the movie, game, art and audio hubs, note the "Range" dropdown, which includes a "Custom" category.
Select that option to specify a custom date range. Try browsing various date ranges in 2024, sorted by Score or Views, then hunt for items that fit the criteria! Make sure you aren't under the "Featured" header.
For an example, here are All Movies from 2024, sorted by Score. It's likely all the top items have been featured or won awards but if you scroll enough, you'll start to find stuff. Reducing this range to individual months or weeks will make for less scrolling to get to things.

Oh god..
You still have a whole day to swap all 4 of them out with new entries.
I recommend going through the runner-ups in the Daily Picks (Movies / Games), or these search queries for Audio and Art respectively.
No frontpages
Hope Im not too late!

Here is my entry for illustration, If this doesn't win treasure hunt I don't know what will.
HeroPapaya~
It was a fun treasure hunt, too many ardent but overlooked works to choose from. It was great for my playlist collection though.
Whoops, almost forgot about this.
[Movie] Bewildering Balance-IsometricPixel
One of IP's best pieces this year. A visually pleasing encounter w/ Pixel's clever styling and humor.
[Audio] MUSTXNG-chris-marcell
Phonk is kinda hit-or-miss with me on NG, but I think chris' MUSTXNG hits the vibes just right.

Apologies if I'm submitting this a bit late. No problem if it doesn't count anymore. Just wanted to highlight a movie and artwork from 2024 that I really enjoyed and felt that it deserved more attention.

Personally, I'll still add Party Trick. IDK if the other judges or @The-Great-One will allow it this late. I'll ask him.

Hey @The-Great-One , is there a reason this one isn't in my specially-prepared-top-secret judge's spreadsheet? It meets the entry rules so far as I can tell
Aye! Thank ya, OviManic
