This is one of the best games to come out this year! Is there any chance you would be open to contributions? I'm a writer, and am so inspired by the game you've created. It would be a dream come true to be able to help develop the games writing. I'm not looking for compensation, just the opportunity to help work on something I love.
sometimes i have this weird bug that no matter what i click, i can't move my items, or buy ones from the shop. which is a shame because i am hopelessly addicted, and having to restart until it works is very painful to my ranking :')
This might be a dumb question, but I am new in itch.io. Is there a way to save my progress here? I have a Mac and can't play on Steam or download so I am starting from scratch every time I close the tab. It's fine, but I'm getting a bit competitive and want a nice high rank as well :) If someone could help it would be amazing, I love this game very much!
nice re-imagining of backpack hero, love all the different bag types, i think it adds a lot more strategy and widens the variety of doing different builds great work, cant wait for steam release!!
This build has very high dps and heals very fast, as long as there's enough stamina to sustain double falcon blade attacks.
This build almost lost to Invincible-Thorn-Armor build equipped with 2 Shield of Valor, 2 Book of Light, a Vampiric armour and a Thornwhip as main weapon.
Most addictive game I've tried in a while. The gameplay loop of engineering something on the fly out of whatever pieces you find is a lot like TFT/Auto chess, but without the stress of being on the clock, and without the annoying element of needing to scout and keep track of other players.
So far the direct counter against Crossblade is, Falcon blade paired with Blood Goobert + Precision arrow + Acorn ring. The weakness of this build is it uses quite a lot of stamina overtime.
It outdamages the Crossblade in the begginning, then compensate the loss of health with Blood Goobert.
Just don't combine into Crossblade with this build, this build requires fast triggers to overwhelm Crossblades.
Blood Goobert can crit heal & drain very if its triggered at high speed and received crit buff.
I was trying to get Crossblade, but I failed to gather enough whetstone on time, Iron Goobert requires too much space and items to properly utilize, so I decided to get Blood Goobert.
Works very well, since Blood Goobert can crit (30 drain damage).
One of the best builds I've made and still couldn't defeat crossblades :( I accidentally took the screenshot before end of round, but I ended with 23 frost on him and had used all 10s of my invulnerability. Somehow I didn't find a single vampire gem so I couldn't turn any of my gloves into vampire gloves. Got unlucky there. Also got unlucky not finding the Bird with the 5% speed buffs at the end.
Also this build seems better on the archer for the 5% crit backpack.
Vampirism isn't super helpful for you since most of your damage is ranged. I would have even went cursed dagger tbh the crit chance can really stack up like it would be a very reasonable amount here. I also would have tried for more mana orbs probably? Pretty decent damage and lets you scale/get to invulns and lifesteals easier. The only other thing is your armor placement isn't great. You aren't getting any extra regen from having holy items nearby and that definitely adds up especially if they have no saw blade. Actually, on that note, you missed out on shield of valor too. Especially since your opponent is running a quite stamina inefficient version of this build with no 0 stam weapons it would have boned him pretty hard. Putting them on "your crossblade scaling doesn't matter as much because you have to wait for stamina regen anyways" asap is actually a very relevant wincon vs. the build. Consider also not running manathirst when you already have magic staff up and running. In this specific case it was almost certainly a detriment. It was probably doing very little damage per swing and running into thorns for no reason. 1 mana every 1.4 seconds is also just whatever and I can't imagine the lifesteal was online often with holy books to drain your mana. Second staff or even simply forgoing mana thirst would have been better here imo. Weird amount of empty space as well. I get being a neat freak even when it comes to games but you can't say it's one of your best builds ever made when you're placing items for looks rather than function at least some of the time (like not just filling that space in with random food or herbs(or also the obvious patterns you were going for)). When I get done with a really strong looking build it will be a couple solid structures that piece together and then a mess and food and stuff that I spent far too long finicking with like a jigsaw puzzle. And even then maybe it was your best build regardless but it definitely could have been better. Sorry for the rant I'm not trying to be mean just hoping you pick up some things.
The game is so addicting. Well done! One feature I'd love to see in the future: Saving inventory layout in the shop. So I could essentially save the current state of the inventory. Then break everything and reorganize everything trying to fit them better. If I can't seem to find a good order, I could just click the old layout and everything would be back to what it was. Essentially a way to do Ctrl + Z in the game.
I can't wait to see the other classes and for the release.
please make this on ios or mobile app stores. Another perfect game to play at work to pass the time or on the road. The browser game is too laggy and cant move items on my phone.

Does not work for me.
Is there a 32 bit version of this game?
sometimes i have this weird bug that no matter what i click, i can't move my items, or buy ones from the shop. which is a shame because i am hopelessly addicted, and having to restart until it works is very painful to my ranking :')
I get it too. Select full screen or unselect it, and it seems to fix the bug.
The game is great but there some things that i wanted to suggest:
- An Endless or Longer (w more turns) Mode.
- Someway to play w the friends, in a party or something like this, like we see in other games like gartic phone...
- Maybe more slots to put backpacks.
- Translations for other languages.
- A way to save your "builds" in a recordation book.
But all the other aspects of the game are completely awesome and fun to play. I'll definetely buy the game at steam when it's done. Thanks!
Where is my save state stored? Can I export it somehow?
I would like to know this as well since I got reset and lost all my trophies right before the update that introduced wardrobes.

will the full version be available on macos?
+1
+2 I really hope so
My Best Run i ever had. Nobody could kill me
I am full blown addicted. The Halloween update really sinched it for me too! Thank you for sharing this masterpiece.
I can't see textures. Any reason why web does this?
I’ve been playing on my phone and it’s been so hard to play without being able to rotate my stuff.😭 I do absolutely love this game though
Yes, I should feel shame at playing in unranked, but I was trying to hard to get the Rainbow Slime recipe and didn't want to destroy my ranking. Haha
:o
177.2 dmg/s
personal best
Oh, dear. This is amazing. I will buy in steam.
nice re-imagining of backpack hero, love all the different bag types, i think it adds a lot more strategy and widens the variety of doing different builds great work, cant wait for steam release!!
Incredible! I will definitely get the full game if there are more items in the final version!
i love this game
a lot
but a infinite mode would be great
and a option to have male character
Really cool! Would love an infinite mode where you can just keep going
Perfect run! All 18 round win!

yo i just beat the game

I hope lots of items and classes get added!
is it possible to connect your steam account with the web version? it's annoying to play on 2 different accounts.
I'm glad it's on steam, I'll wishlist there. Cute art style and character design. Auto battlers are good
Why does most my textures not load?

Made it all the way to the end.
Flawless Survival Win! All 5 hearts intact!

New meta just dropped
I hope you will sell this on itch.io as well!! Can't wait to buy it.

Why does the client use 90+ GPU?
Im using a 3070ti, not sure what its doing...
Is really fun! Please also release for mac!
Honestly, I'm as surprised as anyone that my six banana build didn't pay off.
*angry Donkey Kong noises*

Sapphire Crossblades, cuts through armour like butter.
Wow love the new crossblade, now I can go "oh the enemy has crossblade" and then you lost because there is no counterplay
Please make a mobile version

Clutch until survival,
Tried to establish Vampiric build after purchasing Blood Scythe, but horrendously failed, because failed to roll for more Blood Amulet.
Improvised with Steel Goobert, Hunter Arrow and Sapphire gems.
It was extremely close from getting cutted down by an extremely strong vampiric build.
Bought Heroic Potion even if there's no shortage of stamina, just in case opponent has Fanfares and Shields.
Extremely strong blind-shield build defeated by four Book of Light, mana-powered by Sapphire Scythe.
Sapphire Scythe cut through 223 armor like cream cheese.
Quite amazing such a hastily improvised build can live through Survival mode.
