About the game:

You're running along a very deep hallway, collecting up treasures and dreaming of glory - but don't be too greedy! There's only so many items you can carry before the size of your inventory crushes you!

Some items will stack into a more valuable item, freeing up space for you. Keep an eye out to what's happening in your inventory! You'll want to note down how items combine in order to increase your survival rate.

Other items are basically junk, or rarely stack up. You can slide under them (s/down keys) or jump over them (w/up keys) to avoid picking them up. Furthermore, you can maximize your stretches by dashing forward (d/right keys).

Oh! It turns out you'll also need to fend off the guardians on the dungeon! Just jump over them or onto their heads and you should be fine.

Remember - you can't run from your own inventory!

very cool game , the mechanic for the inventory is very interesting but the lack of a tutorial about the différent combinations is a major down side

It is a fun to play game with a very appealing graphics but I'd love to see all of mixups, because it's really hard to tell what makes what during the run.

This is amazing. I like the both the pixel art and the animations best from all games i played so far an also sound is fitting and music is catchy. I also love the whacky style of it, really funny little figures. While playing, i had no idea how the items combined or what happens when i get hit. It looks like purposefully running into enemies might be a valid tactic to clean up a little. A small tutorial section would be great, where the combination is taught to me, rather than shown. Overall a great game with character, i like it so much! By far the best ratings i gave so far, nothing below 4 :D

Nice graphics and music (could be a perfect loop though). Really polished game. Great execution with the theme too. Too be nitpicky - Mechanics of stacking should have been explained more at the beginning.

The graphic are great but I had no idea how it worked. I eventually figured out that the faces are bad, since they never went away, so I managed to get 924 points by just collecting everything and avoiding the faces.

How do the combinations work?
