I think I found a cheese. If you play offline, it will make you battle yourself, and more often than not, you will win because you win draws. So you just go back online when you're at 9 wins, and you just have to win your last one for full win and health.
Loving the 0.2.1 update so far. The infinite armor stacking from shield of valor was quite irritating, happy to see that fixed. Also, clarification on how food items stack was much appreciated. Keep up the good work!
I'm WILDLY tired, so I may have missed it, but a control scheme key of some sort would be lovely. I'm playing on a touch screen and tossing everything in the shop. Admittedly, the wildly tired thing may also be a factor.
Hi! I am having the same issue. I had played ranked last week and had ratings on both characters and now it is showing "???". I played two more ranked games today, but no matter how many trophies I get, it always gives +0 rank.
indeed but still lots of copy stuff from backpack hero, super auto pets and some luck and creativity but still its pretty obvious that maybe you like this game or defend games when hate comes by.
Is this planned as pay to win or how? There is name your own price, how does that work out, when the game is released. You push steam, but will it still be on itch, or only as a demo?
Online PvP are often pay to win and I found nothing indicating one way or the other how the game is planned. And I can't draw a conclusion from your other game, as this is not out of demo stage either.
This looks like I might want to play it. Though the PvP is a bit ... let's just say, to someone like me, a story mode would not hurt.
Also, do not listen to the haters. Your art is fine. Scantiliy clad fantasy heroines are a thing. Or will your muscled barbarian be covering his bulging abs, or will he be running around in a Conan like loin cloth? Assuming you include some male characters. You could also include the stereotypical dwarf hiding behind beard and tons of steel.
The complains I read are from kids playing at school (on school equipment no less), where they should not play games in the first place. Will you remove magic from the game, when christian fundamentalists complain? You should be aware that a lot of the freeloaders on itch are from countries with low income and high morals. You won't make any money from them, so do not let them shape your game. Looking like childs. Hah. Your characters are chibis. Their heads are as big as their torso. They are supposed to look cuddly and fit the sillyness of fighting with a banana inside a bagpack, that is bigger than a small house.
When oriented between horizontal weapons, the whetstones don’t “bind” to the same weapon, suggesting that they won’t combine after the next round. A pair of whetstones that each could affect more than one weapon should always bind to the same weapon so that they can combine.
Love it, wishlisted it after 1 run because I had alot fun, and I want those other characters soon :) Also I've noticed people in the comments have a problem with the designs. I personally think they are great and that you should design your game as you see fit. :)
Also side note, I know its still early in development, but is there any plans for a solo campaign of sorts or just multiplayer? Just curious.
Unclear if this is a bug, but I'm gaining 7 spikes per shield at the start of combat. Is the start of combat "once" per round even though it's seven spikes?
On a related note: two shields appear to be almost ready to proc again and one just procced. It's not clear to me how they'd ever get out of sync with one another.
This was a very fun demo! My inventory management skills needs a little work lol! I had fun playing this. Might try the ranked option to see what that's about. Good game!
Fun Game, the demo isn't very balanced though. Stacking Poison + Purple potions is OP (super easy to acomplish). The only thing that beats it is insta-kill blind sword + purple potion stacking (though this is harder to pull off).
Also it would be good if you could play beyond 10 wins. Sometimes you feel like you've just gotten your build off the ground and then it ends before you can see it play out.
Does version 0.1.1 have your hotfix? Also, this is maybe not just a matchmaking issue -- 175hp is a lot of max HP, I'm not sure how you could get there unless the game didn't end for @migcreator when it was supposed to.
Overall good game, however i have one problem with it being that poison builds are extremely strong as reaper has most of what you need to just get carried through the early game and since you already have like half the build you can build your build far faster so you are always ahead, along with poison builds quickly building up meaning the only builds that can consistently beat them are fast offensive builds
Your matches aren't necessarily live; you're playing against the build of another player, but not against them in real time. Sometimes you play against a past self, too.
Read "Backpack Battles" in a email, then thought, backback hero auto battler, without looking in to it further, I paid $2. I have a good feeling about this. we will see.
This game is a work of genius. It's a well-made "autobattler" game in the style of Backpack Hero or even Reynad's upcoming game The Bazaar, where smart placement can mean the difference between a win and a loss. The crafting system is very cool, especially when you see a powerful crafted item carrying the opponent to victory, and you wonder how you can craft it. I first found out about the crafting system accidentally, sandwiching two whetstones between two Wooden Swords, crafting my first Hero Sword. It was a mind-blowing moment that turned this game from a pretty good Super Auto Backpack Hero into a true masterpiece.
Sad that i can't install it on steam because there is no way to enable proton compatibility from the store, i need to be able to add it to the library first to play it on linux.
Happy that i can play on web thought ! Keep up the great work <3 !
There's the problem, when clicking the download button it says it's not aviable for Linux
Other games without a Linux build can be added to the game library without downloading, allowing to make them compatible with the system setting Proton On in the settings
This is absolutely fantastic! I spent way too long playing this today! The passives on the bags and the secret item combinations add a lot to the strategy. This feels super polished and I cannot wait to see how this evolves!
Well, this is a pleasant surprise! After Backpack Hero came out there's been a few more devs experimenting with the whole inventory management gimmick, and it's cool to see you guys are taking a stab at it too!

this game is like minecraft tbh
I'm WILDLY tired, so I may have missed it, but a control scheme key of some sort would be lovely. I'm playing on a touch screen and tossing everything in the shop. Admittedly, the wildly tired thing may also be a factor.
my rank seems to be broken. completely stuck at bronze.
You are playing Ranked mode, right?
yes.
Hi! I am having the same issue. I had played ranked last week and had ratings on both characters and now it is showing "???". I played two more ranked games today, but no matter how many trophies I get, it always gives +0 rank.
Aside from that, loving the game! :)
(the +0 screen after finishing a ranked game)
The server handling the rankings is currently overwhelmed by the player count. We are working on a solution!
My device abruptly shutted down halfway through the game, now I can't start the game.
Restarted device and the game, the game crashes at waiting screen.
It apparently corrupted your savefile. I don't know how to delete files in the browser... Maybe you could switch to the Steam version?
Unfortunately I don't use Steam,
I managed to start the game in 0.2.0c patch file, but its very laggy on my desktop.
Try clearing cookies?
I'm playing the game on Itchio app, not sure if there's a way to clear cookies.
Clear the app's cache, depends on your OS but you can usually do this by hold pressing on the app icon until a menu appears.
I followed your instructions and cleared the app's cache and cookies, but it doesn't work.
Maybe it has something to do with the game files? I still can't access the game even after reinstall the game.
Feature request: Please update the cooldown values based on surrounding items, the way that (for instance) the damage ranges update.
Also, please consider previewing the changes before entering into a battle, rather than only showing them in-battle.
i think this is a copy of backpack hero lol
it certainly takes a lot of inspiration of backpack hero but it has many key differences that set it apart.
indeed but still lots of copy stuff from backpack hero, super auto pets and some luck and creativity but still its pretty obvious that maybe you like this game or defend games when hate comes by.
just had a bug where I played my first game against someone 60hp and much more items than possible
Hopefully fixed with the new patch, let us know if it happens again

Lots of fun!
Things discovered the hard way: the Death Scythe’s effect of multiplying poison does not appear to stack, as far as I can tell.
a mix between backpack heroes and SAP, pretty cool
Love it, wishlisted it after 1 run because I had alot fun, and I want those other characters soon :) Also I've noticed people in the comments have a problem with the designs. I personally think they are great and that you should design your game as you see fit. :)

Thank you so much. It's really nice of you to say that <3
We are thinking about it, but not sure yet!
Unclear if this is a bug, but I'm gaining 7 spikes per shield at the start of combat. Is the start of combat "once" per round even though it's seven spikes?
On a related note: two shields appear to be almost ready to proc again and one just procced. It's not clear to me how they'd ever get out of sync with one another.

care to explain?
This is an matchmaking issue that we pushed a hotfix for yesterday.
Are you playing on the most recent version?
I still sense a latent negativity in your comments - i hope you are alright buddy!
i'm playing version 0.1.1 and it's still happening.
Also, this is maybe not just a matchmaking issue -- 175hp is a lot of max HP, I'm not sure how you could get there unless the game didn't end for @migcreator when it was supposed to.
Overall good game, however i have one problem with it being that poison builds are extremely strong as reaper has most of what you need to just get carried through the early game and since you already have like half the build you can build your build far faster so you are always ahead, along with poison builds quickly building up meaning the only builds that can consistently beat them are fast offensive builds
good game but why is it full of skimpily dressed ladies and furry shopkeepers?
Man, you must be fun to be around...
just asking... also will we eventually have skimpily dressed men?
Now that's a much better question!
Quite possibly, yes
I love this
:)
Def a fantastic game! Really loved the feel of it and can't wait for it to be fully on Steam AND PvP!
is fun and fast played hope to see more
wishlisted ✔
Thank you! :)
What are the crafting combinations? I know of:
Ruby Whelp + Holo Fire Lizard = Ruby Chonk (legendary)
Hero Sword + 2x Whetstone = Hero Longsword (legendary)
Hero Sword + 2x Gloves of Haste = Falcon Blade (legendary)
all four Gooberts = Rainbow Goobert Omegaooze Prime Slime (godly)
Lightsaber + Demonic Flask = Darksaber (godly)
Mana Orb + Hungry Blade = Manathirst (legendary)
Mana Orb + Dagger = Spectral Dagger (legendary)
Mana Orb + Broom = Magic Staff (epic)
Magic Staff + Acorn Collar = Critwood Staff (epic)
Magic Staff + Demonic Flask = Staff of Unhealing (godly)
Goobert + Lightsaber = Light Goobert (godly)
Goobert + Hero Sword = Steel Goobert (legendary)
Goobert + Blood Amulet = Blood Goobert (legendary)
Goobert + Fly Agaric = Poison Goobert (epic)
Thorn Whip + Hungry Blade = Bloodthorne (godly)
Blood Amulet + Gloves of Haste = Vampiric Gloves (godly)
Blood Amulet + Dagger = Bloody Dagger (legendary)
Blood Amulet + Leather Armor = Vampiric Armor (legendary)
Wooden Sword + 2x Whetstone = Hero Sword (epic)
Wooden Buckler + Walrus Tusk = Spiked Shield (rare)
Dagger + Pestilence Flask = Poison Dagger (epic)
Heroic Potion + Banana = Strong Heroic Potion (legendary)
Stone Skin Potion + 2x Stone = Strong Stone Skin Potion (legendary)
Health Potion + 2x Healing Herbs = Strong Health Potion (epic)
Ruby Egg (2 battles in backpack) = Ruby Whelp (godly)
armor potion plus 4 rocks makes better armor potion
gloves and vampiric amulet makes vampiric gloves
It's two stones, not four for the stone skin potion
this is a derivative masterpiece
can't wait for the full thing, is there a big list of combos somewhere?
Will be added to the game eventually! :)
is this online multiplayer yet? i think im fighting bots. i understand its an autobattler but i get matches wayy too fast
You play against the builds of real players!
Your matches aren't necessarily live; you're playing against the build of another player, but not against them in real time. Sometimes you play against a past self, too.
yeah im pretty sure im the one guy doing rock builds :P
how do you rotate a thing
right click
What does the high usage mean and how do I lower i
stamina. look at weapons stamina. you can up the stamina with special backbags.
i can literally see her boobs
I can confidently say that her breast is not exposed. It seems to me you are not very familiar with the female anatomy.
omg this is ez
why is the elves pretty much nude?!?!?!
She isn't nude! She's wearing light armor for agility.
uuuh, theres alot of skin exposed
She wears much more than Olympic beach volleyball players...

This is annoyingly addictive
is there any way to rotate items
Yup, use right click or mouse wheel while dragging it.
what if i dont have a mouse
im playing this during school on touchpad they dont allow mouse
There now is a rotate hotkey (R).
Keep learning! x)
touchpads usually have tapping with 2 fingers as right click
I love it !
Sad that i can't install it on steam because there is no way to enable proton compatibility from the store, i need to be able to add it to the library first to play it on linux.
Happy that i can play on web thought ! Keep up the great work <3 !
Thank you! We now have a downloadable (windows) build on itch, maybe this also helps?
Final release will also have a linux build :)
There's the problem, when clicking the download button it says it's not aviable for Linux

This is absolutely fantastic! I spent way too long playing this today! The passives on the bags and the secret item combinations add a lot to the strategy. This feels super polished and I cannot wait to see how this evolves!
Well, this is a pleasant surprise! After Backpack Hero came out there's been a few more devs experimenting with the whole inventory management gimmick, and it's cool to see you guys are taking a stab at it too!
