I got another slime sword build!!!!!! This is kinda a lie... I got the slime sword on the last floor but I had bomb the entire run. It is the funnest relic
WITH ONLY A SLIVER OF HEALTH LEFT i have finally beaten the final boss ..... (atleast the FIRST final boss from what i see in the comments below) this is my first (and likely only) time ever actually beating the creature and only second time reaching them out of .... who knows how many runs...... i would like to apologize to the two luck rings that gave me this chance and mathew for finally giving me something decent to start with. fun game. real fun. just more difficult than a souls game if you don't got gud luck
Beating the final boss aka floor 9 is not too hard if you go for the right build, key sword is not a good build btw. If you get whetstone try getting all the shivs, put it in the corner and line both below and to the side with shivs, spend your energy on stone and see big numbers go brrr. Easy build since all ingridients are obtainable. Its the more obscure and shenanigan dependant runs that are hard to get but let you go deep into infinity runs))
my biggest problem i've faced with the game has simply been my luck with finding items. the build sounds fun and possible .... if i actually got even some of the more useful common items on a regular basis. in that run alone i saw only the lucky shiv, one cursed shiv, and two normal shivs with one of them popping up in a late run shop.
(should add : this isnt a problem with the game. [it's a rouge like. i expect this] i just have horrid luck for getting even the basics of items when it comes to RNG sometimes. and i am VERY excited for what the devs behind it end up making with it in the future.)
I'm soooooooo tired of clicking. But its a delight to hit every enemy on the field for 500+ damage. Maybe a toggle option to just "use all" for the magic accessories?
There is a bug involving the music script that occurs right after a battle in the Magma Core area. Once I win a fight, the music that plays is from the previous area, the Deep Caves.
This incorrect track plays until I reach the next floor and then the issue fixes itself until I get into another encounter. This problem was in the game since the new music was first added into the area and has still yet to be patched.
Had I known sooner that this was not acknowledged by the devteam, I would have reported the bug immediately. When the bug first occured, I thought it was so evident that someone else would have picked up on it and reported that by now, either here, through Discord or via private communication of some sort, but guess I was wrong.
Other than that, I am enjoying the new items, there are some pretty good ideas here and there.
We really need a load game fix, or the ability to choose save files. Why tf does it keep on resetting me to a run from 17 runs ago? I saved at least 400 times after that and none of them work.
We need a fix. If you need additional developers, I can help out if I can contact you somehow.
no offense but i'm pretty doubtful that you would know how to fix an issue like that, plus the owner's contact info is literally in the credits like what
I've been developing with Unity for over five years, if that's any convincing. I'm not saying more, since why would I to some random game player? Twitter is not an option, noone reads twitter DMs.
Sorry to hear about the saves. You can join our discord if you want to report further. Saves work for many players but this bug report is common too. You might want to try a different browser. I believe the issue relates to saving data in browser. When we move to local builds it should be fixed.
Well that is a new one, loaded the game several times and this happened, there was a similar bug before but I didnt see moving purple clouds before :3 Also the save is completely corrupted, rip run I was restarting the first 2 floors 10 times by now to get ethereal sword staff before first boss :<
When the purple cloud bug happened to me it was to do with the items that involve mana. Simply click them and place them back and the clouds stop. Although, you've clearly got more problems than that.
Made it to 45 before things got too repetitive. The only weakness to rage cleaver strategy is spikes, but that can be mitigated with healing gems and the candlestick.
I reached 111 with the assasin's knife which adds 1 dmg per kill, and energy bonuses with shield talisman to get past the 2 energy requirement. Used rings & haste forges to get bunch of armor while using my weapons to kill everyone, and lots of golden whetstones & energy generation using no item in 2 spaces talismans
bro plz keep working on this most games seem boring to me so half of my time im bored or trying to entertain myself but when i play ur game i have so much fun next thing i know its dark outside lol i love the challenge,adventure,strategy plz dont stop updating the game 🥲
New Speedy Leaf is OP. its a consumable and has the tag "when combat ends this item is destroyed" plop it between a Seasoning and Spice and heal completely for free and then deal 400 damage from PURE RAGE
I managed to get to floor 111 before this level with shield haste 3, rage 2 sword that adds 1 per kill, lucky golden things per level, etc, until the update wiped it, sad.
Adjacency calculations are also broken: bronze breastplate diagonal not working.
So started game after last update, got to floor 4, half way through went to a shop, sold some stuff then tried to move on to next enemy and the character walks forward but i dont actually move to a new room
Same here. Happend twice to me. First time on floor 2, visit shop, just sell some for space and second time on floor 1 again while leaving the shop. Please try to fix this, as it is kinda "unplayable", unless you did not use the shop atm. And many many thanks for your work :) kinda love this game - lost many hours of my lifetime to it :p
By far my best archer playthrough. Hawkeye bow (didnt help much) and bag of knives started each arrow volley fairly weak but doing hundreds eventually after 3 energy. Not perfectly optimized but I knew I was going to die on the lvl 15 boss. Was throwing out legendary equip for energy consumables in stash. If you use enough energy from consumables you can shuck out thousands of dmg within 5 clicks of your bow. Also seems like bow dmg ignores spikes?
I finally managed to beat the final boss with a melee build, screw magic and archery! Haha. I killed the fox and he gave me a nice sword... I even managed to survive until the first boss in infinite, but as usual, no luck with the loot.
Just Won! This is my Build(Note there were more consumable items for extra energy) I basically just used all of my energy Items, then took a nine action turn against the final boss. Ended up setting up over 120 poison. This is probably one of, if not my favorite game on itch!
I think it will be good to let the player know what final boss we will face, it will allow us to prepare accordingly (not preparing a cleaver build if we are going to face the rat king).
Just wanna say if you increase the damage of an weapon the damage that damages you, it will increase damage taken. Found that out the hard way by one shoting myself while I had 45 health. 😂😂😂😂
Get a hourglass, this will permanently decrease the damage of your weapons by 1, but the slime sword is disposable/recyclable, and the screenshot showcases this very clearly.
Alternatively, the bombstone is pretty cool, but it might be a little too much for this item. Hope that helped. ;)
I've been seeing a lot of issues with people getting soft-locked at sage toad, and I think an easy solution would be to have them and other similar units classed as "cowardly" or something (a bit like "minion" in StS), meaning that they run away if there are no non-cowardly units remaining.
So sadly I ran into an unplayable build. I was really excited about the pacifist build as well. But I found myself in an inescapable loop I couldn't scratch my way out of.

Yes! Another success against the final boss!
Very addictive! The rat is adorable :3

quick mini update : tried endless and only managed to get to level 12. with the boss's summons taking me out right after removing the boss.

Do i need to keep/use a lot of luck things
I'm soooooooo tired of clicking. But its a delight to hit every enemy on the field for 500+ damage. Maybe a toggle option to just "use all" for the magic accessories?
Just one tap and it adds 33damage to everything
How about a cleaver run? 😎😎😎

Good catch! I'll investigate
One of the best game I've ever played!
Agreed

the owner seems experienced enough so you should probably let them take their time with it

the words of a man who didn't even click the second link
also fair enough
You want to contact them on twitter or itch? Go for it. They aren't in the discord either.

No golden whetstones in this run!
I'll see if I can get anything close to my god-tier build back :) Hard to do when they completely broke save loading.
What's the record for endless mode?
I reached 111 with the assasin's knife which adds 1 dmg per kill, and energy bonuses with shield talisman to get past the 2 energy requirement. Used rings & haste forges to get bunch of armor while using my weapons to kill everyone, and lots of golden whetstones & energy generation using no item in 2 spaces talismans
The boss has 32,300 HP and I have only 110? I think this game needs some balancing.
bro plz keep working on this most games seem boring to me so half of my time im bored or trying to entertain myself but when i play ur game i have so much fun next thing i know its dark outside lol i love the challenge,adventure,strategy plz dont stop updating the game 🥲
We are continuing work! We just did an update today! Hope you'll support the KickStarter when it launches soon!
i will trust me😄👍. question is there crafting in here if not do u mind if i give u an idea of a crafting system?
This game is about to ruin my marriage. I can't stop playing.
I'll take that as a compliment! Now go be a good partner! :) Backpack Hero will only get better after more updates. :P
Oh, it was a compliment! Thank god I finally beat the boss, so I can be a good boy now and only play for fun instead of obsessively.
Glad I got one of the fun burst mage builds before the update. I just kept going for awhile, killing all enemies first turn lol.
haven't played the update yet, but since relics no longer have a rarity, what do they sell for?
New Speedy Leaf is OP. its a consumable and has the tag "when combat ends this item is destroyed"
plop it between a Seasoning and Spice and heal completely for free and then deal 400 damage from PURE RAGE
only works for one combat but still......stronk
The mole card lottery is broken, when you turn cards you cant see the item
Sorry! Today's update should have fixed it! Please try again!
Memory card ? event is also broken
Sorry! Today's update should have fixed it! Please try again!

bow dmg ignores spikes since arrows are projectiles

Used/ Drank the energy plus health mug next to the cleansing/ cleaning rag and this happen:
Just Won! This is my Build(Note there were more consumable items for extra energy) I basically just used all of my energy Items, then took a nine action turn against the final boss. Ended up setting up over 120 poison. This is probably one of, if not my favorite game on itch!
Does anyone know...does "Luck" stack?
If i have 5 'Lucky Rings' in my inventory do i get 5x better loot?
Does killing every enemy w/ the 'Lucky Dagger' guarantee you a legendary drop?
luck does stack but it just increases your chances. No guarantees of legendary items!
I think it will be good to let the player know what final boss we will face, it will allow us to prepare accordingly (not preparing a cleaver build if we are going to face the rat king).
this is planned! Also he is a badger ;p
Thanks for the answer!
The Chronno Trigger vive of the music is amazing !
It wont load.
I cannot get this game to remember any setting for sound or save and load. Is this a known fault or am i being dumb?
Walked into a boss floor and got a boss item and still got a boss item after fighting it
Just wanna say if you increase the damage of an weapon the damage that damages you, it will increase damage taken. Found that out the hard way by one shoting myself while I had 45 health. 😂😂😂😂
Yep.
send help im not even in endless mode.
I'm having a little trouble on floor one. Does anyone know what I could do to beef up my build? uwu
Get a hourglass, this will permanently decrease the damage of your weapons by 1, but the slime sword is disposable/recyclable, and the screenshot showcases this very clearly.
Alternatively, the bombstone is pretty cool, but it might be a little too much for this item. Hope that helped. ;)
Absolutely nothing this is the strongest backpack I've seen ever

Love this idea!

balanced game
