made by Evanaellio for Ludum Dare 54 (JAM)

Preview5<em>4</em>upscaled.png

You've been given the respectuous task of helping our fabulous, our renowned, our flamboyant adventurer!

You are supposed to help them in their noble quest, fight with powerful foes and share the glory. But they seem weirdly keen on having you carry tr... Miscellaneous things.

How to play :video_game:

  1. Take items from the queue on the right and put them in your backpack. If there are more than 5 items in the queue, you lose!
  2. Try to make lines in your backpack with items of the same rarity to get higher rarities and get rid of a few items.
  3. Our adventurer will request items from time to time, giving them those items will hopefully help them on their quest and to find even better items!
  4. Make sure to keep room in your backpack for new items and try to obtain legendary items! Or maybe even further!

Controls :keyboard:

You only need your mouse to play :mousethreebutton:

  • Left click : To select, place, give and upgrade items.
  • Middle wheel : To rotate an item (alternatively :arrowleft: and :arrowright: also works).

Nice use of the theme, just a little too difficult I think.

Nice entry ! I think it's cool you did not with a too simplistic concept and instead gave some context and atmosphere around your game (also I really like the tiny adventurer's goofy face)

I adore this game!! ^^ Final score of 25 000 exactly, and winning ^^
It was fun trying to fold all the stuff in my bag, while hoping not to grab another flail. Id say a very good job, and while it is simple, its one of the most enjoyable games this year for me so far ^^

Nice game! Liked the adventurer animation, but the core gamplay is too tough to look at it properly :-D

Really funny. Good thing to have added the little adventure below.
I'd even liked more interaction with it. Perhaps for a V2 :)

This was genuinely fun to play. The game did crash 3 times (when I pressed Q I think?) but other than that I had fun.

Very very fun and addicting. There are quite a few "Tetris-like" entries in the jam, but this one stands out with the unique shapes and interesting mechanic of combining the items. It was a bit difficult to find out how it works in the beggining though.

I had a score of 52916 when I lost due to a bug: I placed the final item into a row, automatically picking up a helmet in the process. I could not place the helmet anywhere, even in a completely free 3x3 space, nor could I choose what the row should be combined into. It essencially soft-locked me out of doing anything. Quite sad to lose such a long run to this bug (happened in the web build).

=====

EDIT:
I had to play it a second time (yes, it's addicting) and this time, I won! However, I noticed the final score being exactly 25000, but I know that the score was at least already at 37000+ before. It seems like the score is always set to 25k when combining a row of gold items.

Wowee! Nice graphics and music, the danger music reminded me of the pokemon low hp sounds a bit :D. This game is very challenging! It's very cool how much better you get over time, on my first try I didnt even manage to make one line, on my second run I made a few lines and on my third run I was close to making a line of blues. I am still not fast enough at all though, I always get flooded and then make a gigantic mess :D.

This is exactly the game I wanted to see in this jam, a real time inventory organizing game! It was really fun to try to figure out what should go where and watching your inventory slowly getting filled with trash. Item combining system is actually a really good addition too, I would've also liked if you could've combine only the same kind of items (maybe +4 of kind or something) but that worked too. Well done!
