This game is just like cleaning my room. Organization and management. It is similar to Tetris. It requires me to think manageable. Great job, keep up the work!

Good job creating a sense of urgency. Like tetris but a little bit more stressful.

I felt honoured to squire for that warrior. May he forgive me for my incompetence and his subsequent death.

That was a lot of fun. I like the graphics. It was a bit odd that you can move the objects around after they are placed in the bag. I also liked that you never see who the red knight is fighting.

Good stuff :8ball:

Takes a bit of time to play, But I loved the freedom and idea of this. Art was good, coding felt smooth. Nice job all around!

Really entertaining! I like a lot the unique art style. The music is great and it gives the feeling of dangerous and stressful place, great job! It remainded me to tetris but, at the same time, since you give the player the freedom to rearrange things and move them , makes the game completly different since the objective is not survive but arrange the space strategically. As a suggestion, I think it would make the game more addictive if you add
some kind of scoreborad to see the points I have earned each time, so i can try to beat my mark. Great entry!!!

Liked it. Inventory tetris at it's best :)

DOn't mind the pace, even though it felt a little slow at first.

Phew, that goes a bit fast. Really cool idea though. I feel like smoother controls would do the game good. I don't really like the mouse-controls. But the fun spin on tetris is really original, I like it! Good job

It's a quite a hilarious concept :smile: It's cool to make a main hero out of a generally second role character.

graphics are really neat and I like the mood as well. Good job.

A great little game. It would be cool if added a way to keep the knight alive for longer, like powerups maybe.
