Cuando intente abrir la puerta con la llave, cuando no la tenia.
Estaba a la izquierda de la puerta. al intentar abrirla, me mando a la derecha. Lo cual hizo que perdiera mi run, porque ya no puedo salir de ahí.

Heart ring says: "When added, adds 5 max hp. When removed, adds 5 max hp" I expected this meant I could add it to my backpack at one reorganisation and remove it at the next for total +10 hp. Item text could make clearer that it doesn't work this way.
999block per 1 tap
One of the shield add 10 haste every time it is used.
The shield has been used 226 times with 2 energy.
I took some inspiration from Chaos God66 (credit goes to them), and this build is pretty powerful.
The wand has 15 golden whetstones and adds 5 rage every time it is used.
Mana scales forever if I get a manastone after a battle. 11 mana is added to the network every use. (I tried using 12 black manastones, but the game got way too laggy. A single use of my wand took about 15 seconds.)
Every battle, I get +6 max hp (the 2 red hoodies + tooth necklace).
If anyone can give me any suggestions to optimize this, please let me know.
Again, credit goes to Chaos God66 for the build.
When you get a decent archer build going on:😃
When you have to wait several minutes every combat for your ring of doom to use up all the mana:😡
Actually I think dark mana stone + ring of doom is the best item combo ever cuz it scales every combat and you can speed it up with more mana stones
(4 forges on the top arrow)
To any math nerds out there: Can someone please give me an algorithm to compute how many times I would have to use the ring of doom to kill the enemy?(input: the starting damage of the arrows and the hp of the enemy. ring gives weapons +2 damage on use)
Website crashed at floor 86 at which point I had 2 more mana stones and 1 more forge on the arrow. I think it has the potential to go beyond floor 110 if nothing goes wrong
Будет ли на андроид?
This is a pretty sturdy beginner build for all the way past the Magma Core boss and beyond, putting out 54 damage each shot with some mild health adjustments. It doesn't seem like a lot, but it does pack a punch with energy consumables stacked on top. But a key feature would be to make sure you stack on potions or consumables that remove all status effects from enemies to prevent rage and spikes. This is not a HIGH TIER build but it is good for beginner stages.
The site crashed on Floor 92...
It was a setup that could have reached Floor 150. It's truly disappointing...
What's that king cleaver doing in the corner
To save time, keeping distance from the other cleavers since the number of attacks was too high.
Maybe curses better than beserker rings
Hello! I bought Backpack Hero for Switch, but that version is laggy and the controls aren't as good as on pc
It also has some visual bugs and overall feels worse than when I saw others play it
Is there any way to take back my version on switch and give me one here on itch?
I can give my profile and whatever else is needed
Thank you for making this fun game and I hope I enjoy it even more on pc!
Update on my build 10 rage and even more mana hahahaha.
I lost everything the site crashed and I lost it all nooooo 😔🥱😂🙏😳😭🤣😂😅
Pretty strong block build I got here, casual 999 block and 1k spikes on turn 3
3 haste on one of the golden shields and six energy total, not much damage on the first use but it adds up quickly
kinda similar to cleaver build but all the cleavers are golden shields
Impressive but what about snakes vampires and poison
I just kill them in a few turns with the bashing shield. Would be a problem when they have more hp though
Bruh WHYYYY does the game cap you at 999 block? Lost the run because of that
Kinda weird question: How is ethereal energy different from a speedy leaf? If so, why add that extra item then?
When will the Android version of Backpack Hero be released? I'm so eager to play it that I've already finished the demo thousands of times. I need news!!!
This is the set I managed to reach the 34th floor with.
HE NEEDS MORE MANA 😂
the gem accessory "the pearl" isnt working with the fish sword though the sword has weapon in its item category edit - none of the gem accessories are working with it for some reason dont know if its a bug or what
Is there ever a chance it comes to phone?
The web version already works for the phone
There are pretty much no bugs
Also to rotate on phone you need to use 2 fingers
I'm talking about a downloadable version
Nope
But what ive been doing is using my data for the web game to load and i turn my data off
The game somehow saves with the data off so i guess theres that
I NEED MORE ROBOT TOYS
Made it to 81 lvl. Not enough damage to beat the +100k King boss. -1hp every cleaver strike is to much and I tried different placement of Gemstone Hearts. But it is possible to go further with better upgraded Black Mana Stones for armor ring and more rage on cleavers from the Smith. One of the best builds, going to try explosive arrows next.
Kinda impressive that you made it this far without duct tape. Duct tape is the legendary thing that passes effect to adjacent items(including "use cleaver")
try getting another black mana stone, and maybe using sheild spirit instead of the beserker rings?
Looking for some item combos, anyone willing 2 share?
Hey there, Pack Members!
I'm Cryptic Paw, and I chose to play and rate Backpack Hero on my YouTube channel Cryptic Paw Gaming!
I like to analyze games from a casual POV to give indie game devs advice and insight on what worked and how to further improve their games. You can find the rating and game design analysis video at the link below.
Happy Gaming!

it's hard but addicting
Can anyone point out the flaws of this build
edit: the only time the hourglass is good
bow not touche arrow
Mouse wood bro
I'm looking for suggestions.
Assassin's Dagger has 111 kills and 4x Golden Whetstone.
I dies to the Badger Boss + Ferret King combo.
I can't seem to make it past round 17, any advice to improve this strategy?
Hi, I had 1 assassins dagger in the first floor. Went for the Manastones, first got the rage ring and finally the ring of doom. With a second dagger and 3 Whetstones this build is quite decent.
Hi, I originally played the game jam version and liked it. i bought the full game hoping to download the older versions but it doesn't seem like i can.
could i ask you to provide a some of the older versions of the game from before the Kickstarter?
Regards, Numnut64
Well now i feel stupid, 1 hour of messing about and $20 less in my pocket and i still cant play this on my phone.....witch sucks as i would mich rather play this then hiker....but hiker works on my phone...
Attention!
Backpack hero is available for free on Epic Games for a week!
I just decided to notify you guys, in case you were interested.
I was just going to announce this, I'm so glad I checked, I rarely open Epic Games
I used a few keys, hourglass beat my ahh
just a few i mean not too many lol
Scumbag site reposted your game balatrogame .com/backpack-hero/
End of the road, simply didn't have enough food :(
Happy with the run however
HIKERRR MY BELOVED YOU'RE BAAACK!!!!!
I thought I accidentally murdered you with a youtube comment on a youtube short on a similar looking game ("hey that kinda looks like hiker")
But you're bAAACK!!! 😭😭
ngl I liked the chicken and the witch a lot, they were adorable
but knowing what happened to hiker it's great to see it return
hiker copied this one this was the original you can check the dates
Dang I feel dumb for that
Thx 4 letting me know
All good, everyone makes mistakes, I just wanted to set you on the right path.
NOOO I MEANT TO USE MY BROKEN RINNGGGGGG
what ring and what dos it do
just a ring that gives you block
wait a minute
was hiker the mobile game?
because this looks really similar
Floor 100. Wonder how long this run will go...
"Your purchase comes with a Steam key."
Is it possible to get it the other way around? I do own the game on Steam, but wanna install it on my workcomputer for travels but can't install Steam on that machine.
So belt of knives is just a tad op... 3 haste on shield now, 5 rage on one of the cleavers, even more cleavers than before, and i'm on floor 75 and still going very strong (casual 17k damage in ONE ENERGY)
I like how you formed a literal belt of knives.
Got a similar build to yours, with the rightmost jack's +6 rage per use, nearly 44k damage in one energy, and that's without the ring of doom.
note that its okay to have only jacks on the duct tape belt cuz it has one more damage than the kings, and its going to activate all of the other ones
Finally got a good cleaver build going: The main thing I've learned is that cleansing flame is a REQUIREMENT, otherwise King and repsecutioner will just... evaporate you from one attack. The cleaver that the knight shield activates gives 3 rage per use so I got really good scaling too. Floor 37 and still going decently strong! (Anyone got any tips on how to make this better)
i got your game on the nintendo!
9/10
