Got the skull ring thing, gold whetstoned a club, and proceeded to stuff my inventory with manastones. Died on floor 13. Why can I never find a black manastone when I need one?
This has now become my most played browser game, somehow topping both Minesweeper and Enchanted Cave 2. I genuinely don't think a roguelike can get better than this. Noita might have a bit more interesting gameplay, but it also makes me want to cry so that docks some points.
Attempting to beat the final boss twice in a single run has become my nemesis, so much so that I'm going to buy the Steam version just to get the necessary items. (on the web build expert bow + electric arrows + +2 damage/cast accessory + stopwatch + belt of knives gets you to Magma Core floor 2, but the math simply doesn't work out)
... Is this what the kids these days call paying to win? (´▽`) lol
fun but my weapon ended up destroying itself after being invincible. i think its because i added the bomb powerup next to it. you need to make ui stuff super clear when it comes to this. now it just became frustrating.
Yes, that goes on forever. Turning off combat animation is a must for this.
Most of the stuff is not needed. But I did include poison removal and a hasted buckler against spikes. Damage would ramp up with the rage buff on the dagger, but that dagger scales up all by itself as well. And having the sword activate by the wings to reduce cost of the dagger from 2 to 1 helps speed up too.
Hello, I'm part of a small indie dev studio, and like you, I assume, we were contacted by smilegate stove to put a game on their store + localization. I noticed your game on there, and I wanted to ask how your experience was with them. Do you feel it was worth it? Did you feel the contract was good?
Thanks!
btw the game looks adorable, I'd never seen it before and I'll probably pick it up soon haha
When loading a save on a floor that has the gold, experience flowers, or healing spots that disappear in a set number of turns, the numbers do not appear.
Additionally, the Swamp Buckler, which states that it provides block equal to your current poison, instead deals damage to the target equal to your current poison.
not sure where else to put this. i have the game on steam and was playing in the beta branch and ran into what i assume is a bug playing as pouchette if i encounter the armoured mouse that splits into three something happens around turn 6 or 7 that causes my attacks with pets to start adding armour to the enemies rather than damaging them. there is no icon for a buff that would be causing this
yes it has been. Thank you! I did also find that if you do a classic mathew run with pouchette and tell him you want to be an archer you get 3 random items rather than an archery kit which is still happening.
Thank you for making such a fun game! I loom forward to seeing how it continues to evolve
Seems like the Mac build is still broken. Adding an .app at the end of the mac folder makes it launchable, but it says that it’s damaged after a short while. Here is the error message which I get in the Mac Console maybe it helps. Seems like a file is missing.
Non-fatal error enumerating at <private>, continuing: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=260 "The file “Extensions” couldn’t be opened because there is no such file." UserInfo={NSURL=Extensions/ -- file:///Users/bvoigtlaender/Downloads/itchZips/mac.app/Contents/, NSFilePath=/Users/bvoigtlaender/Downloads/itchZips/mac.app/Contents/Extensions, NSUnderlyingError=0x7fcb0ce36680 {Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=2 "No such file or directory"}}
I beat the Demo Version infinity wave. The build is final and I can survive every wave. Now I am at Stock 312. I have 20xrage & 15xhaste. I keep the money to increase my max health, otherwhise i can replace the money to another circle to obtain 21 turns in first round.
Resulting I have 19turns in first round dealing 1230630 damage over all, which I can beat any enemy.Yes 1,2Mill damage!!!!
After the 19 turns, i have 999 Armor too, unfortunatly the game dont allow me to exceed the 999 Armor, but its not necessary.
After a couple of tries this is my ultimativ build.
Can you increase the maximum number of saved games? I feel like 3 is too limiting, and it isn't stated anywhere that 3 is the limit, so I lost one of my best runs because of this. I like to keep saves at floor 9, so I can continue in endless with any build if I feel like it.
Also, the "continue" menu screen can be revamped to allow for more saves without as much scrolling - there is currently too much wasted space. I think a 3x2 grid will look and feel much better - each tile in the grid would have a thumbnail (of the inventory), character and game mode above, floor and level below. Scrollbar on the side if there are more than 6 saves.
Maybe have a "maximum number of saves" slider in the settings, or just have it at infinite. People can just manually delete the saves they don't need or use the "delete save on death" option for a more roguelike experience.
I ended up dying with this on floor 13, it was a good run and my weapon ended up dealing 264 damage per hit. it was an ethereal staff, wich replaced itself with an ethereal blade upon use. The ethereal blade would also create an ethereal staff when destroyed. This caused the negative effects of the bombstone and hourglass to be ignored, giving me a 800 percent multiplier whith barely any drawbacks.
Good day - been really enjoying backpack hero since I saw it on ManyATrueNerd - almost 120 hours of play time :) I have run into a potential bug on v0.31.4b - if you have the barbell and the lizard king sword, the energy reduction from LKS is undone at the start of each turn, even though it says "reduces by one this combat".
e.g. I have the jagged sword, it costs 2. I use LKS (at a cost of 3), jagged sword now costs 1. End turn, jagged sword is back to 2.
yeah, I keep commenting/replying to people on their posts complaining about ads and redirect them to here or the steam page! i hope it gets resolved permanently

Better you obtain a bow with skull ring. ;-)
Stumbled across this game on itch.io and really love it. It’s right up my alley; I’ve played it through twice already! Thanks so much
Glad you like it!

Glad you're having fun! We hope you enjoy the steam version too!
Hello! I recently made a Hispanic video about AWESOME games on itch.io. Die in the dungeon is one of them! :D Hope you like it.
So cool to see! Thank you for sharing!
lucky-ish run
why is the game free on browser but the download is 16 dollars :(
the browser is just a demo! the download is early access and still updated regularly, and has probably around 5 times the content of this old version
Empty cup or cool drink.... hmmm...
How to get the button START GAME FROM MATTEW in demo version?
CTRL+M
It works! Thanks buddy
its just M
The new update crashes the game on launch and asks for steam to be played
oh no! Good catch! I will update it. Apologies!
Thanks a bunch :D
This should now be fixed. Apologies! Can you please try again?!
it works now :D
fun but my weapon ended up destroying itself after being invincible. i think its because i added the bomb powerup next to it. you need to make ui stuff super clear when it comes to this. now it just became frustrating.
Here to request a mobile release. I can play the demo on browser just fine.
Yes, that goes on forever. Turning off combat animation is a must for this.

(That are 3 boosters and 1 splitter.)
found a bug with the map lol
I got soft locked, i went to open a door after a boss, i did not have a key, and it pushed my to the outher side of the door, and i can not decend.
In the demo version there are locked doors, weren't there?
I only encountered locked chests in the current version. And you have to drag your key from the backback onto the chest there.
There is even a key sword. But is only usable once and gets destroyed if you open a chest with it.
I did not have a key... I GLITCHED THROUGH THE DOOR

Its really easy to go far if you use no armor and a bunch of hatchets with a shield that has the thorns equipment.
not sure where else to put this. i have the game on steam and was playing in the beta branch and ran into what i assume is a bug playing as pouchette if i encounter the armoured mouse that splits into three something happens around turn 6 or 7 that causes my attacks with pets to start adding armour to the enemies rather than damaging them. there is no icon for a buff that would be causing this
Should be fixed in the update we just posted!
yes it has been. Thank you! I did also find that if you do a classic mathew run with pouchette and tell him you want to be an archer you get 3 random items rather than an archery kit which is still happening.

nvm i got it
I am having trouble installing the linux version how would i go about doing this?
if youre using the browser and lose the option to start at mathew press m in the main menu
Easy win against the endboss within one turn. The combination with 2 coals is awesome :D
I also love the combination of "ring of rage" and "warrior's spellbook" <3
What does "natural" do for Tote?
draws carvings on the first turn!
Seems like the Mac build is still broken. Adding an
.appat the end of the mac folder makes it launchable, but it says that it’s damaged after a short while. Here is the error message which I get in the Mac Console maybe it helps. Seems like a file is missing.I'm having this problem too with the mac build. Works fine with the steam build on mac.
Will there are mobile version?? Because i really want to play this game in everywhere
You can play it from the browser on mobile.
No it says Mobile doesnt supports web gl and i want play it offline it would be better if it has a original app :thumbsup:
Ew furry.
Fun game. 9/10
I personally get 250 damage minus's on the club then throw the hourglass away. You won't need it ever again!
Dude, rage on a hourglass-nerfed berserker club is cracked! All you need is belt of knives and a weapon that can hit all and your set.
Resulting I have 19turns in first round dealing 1230630 damage over all, which I can beat any enemy.Yes 1,2Mill damage!!!!
After the 19 turns, i have 999 Armor too, unfortunatly the game dont allow me to exceed the 999 Armor, but its not necessary.
After a couple of tries this is my ultimativ build.
hey forgive me if im wrong but, wouldnt just 2 king cleavers do the same thing? it seems like they both would make a cascade of never ending cleavers
nah they dont loop on themselves bcs dev thought of that
correct they loop just once.
Amazing game! I do have a suggestion though.
Can you increase the maximum number of saved games? I feel like 3 is too limiting, and it isn't stated anywhere that 3 is the limit, so I lost one of my best runs because of this. I like to keep saves at floor 9, so I can continue in endless with any build if I feel like it.

fun fact the peridot on weapons that give the player self inflincted poison upgrades the poison
This is the Best rpg game i ever seen musics, characters, all are truly amazing
I ended up dying with this on floor 13, it was a good run and my weapon ended up dealing 264 damage per hit. it was an ethereal staff, wich replaced itself with an ethereal blade upon use. The ethereal blade would also create an ethereal staff when destroyed. This caused the negative effects of the bombstone and hourglass to be ignored, giving me a 800 percent multiplier whith barely any drawbacks.
I love this game to death.
Ooh, I never though of using ethereal to get around the hourglass/bombstone. Good idea!
Beat the game with this!
I wonder if you could put the demo link to download by itch.io app, plase

I think someone stole your idea
just wanted to bring this to your attention, been enjoying playing
Yeah i think someone downloaded or just ripped the code and just converted the code
So frustrating! We have issued several complaints to Google - and it has been removed twice now. But they keep reposting it!
It is sad to see such a creative idea get stolen .
yeah, I keep commenting/replying to people on their posts complaining about ads and redirect them to here or the steam page! i hope it gets resolved permanently
i have been playing this game literally everyday for the past 2 months and i need to buy the whole version
