Your name is . . . not important, you are a "baggie", so, a dude with a bag or a backpack, you have 1 job, to carry as much of the loot that adventurers and heroes make by killing monsters, your inventory is limited and so your chance of success. Is not a well paid job, but with no fighting or crafting skills is the only job you can do, what are you waiting, go grab some loot!

Move with WASD
Use the mouse to pick up items and drop them in your inventory

10 cursed baguettes out of 10! Got kicked out of group on the first try, but in the second managed to earn astonishing 2.225$. Very realistic job with very realistic wages!

I like the art in this, the monsters trailing after you are quite menacing and a clever way to prevent back tracking. The foreground trees blocked loot quite often, which was a bit frustrating.

interesting game and its concept

I LOVED the pixel art in this, awesome job! the whole gameplay loop was hilarious too, like another post mentioned the trees sometimes block vision of loot. Perhaps add a highlight shader for a postjam version? Otherwise 10/10 game, will play again.

Graphics is cool, but so bored just stay back and put loot in inventory)

A very fun idea, but unfortunatly the game crashed every time at the end of the round and just closes (windows version) :(

@deltamain thank you for playing my game!

@nathmate yeah, i recieved a couple of messages saying the trees thing was annoying i will change it on the post jam version. Thank you for playing!

@donvermo Thank you !!!

@limpch sorry about that, i ran out of time to add a little challenge so you can't stay way back and cheese the game, i will try to improve it for the post-jam version, Thank you for playing!

@archaeognathus that's weird i tested the game on windows and had no issues :( did you get an error or something? Regardless, i thank you for playing my game!

I just adore this concept! Laughed all the way through and, apparently, I'm a very good backpack girl and deserve an awesome payment of over 6 bucks! I'm the hero!

The pixel art is quite nice. Shame there is no sufficiently heroic music to accompany it. It was cool how loot hid itself behind bushes - added additional challenge to the game to spot it and made me feel like an even better backpack girl :grin:.

@nicolas-crapanzano I didnt get any visible error or message. The window just closes :(
Same happens when I run into the monsters at the back. I still see the black animation "closing" off the screen.
