A game made in 30 days for the Game Off 2023 Game Jam.


Full release coming to Steam. Wishlist Backpack Survivors now !

 

Controls:

  • WASD to Move
  • Left Mouse Button to drag
  • Scroll to rotate
  • Space to Dash

 

The goal and gameplay:

Fill your backpack with powerful items, scale the mountain, survive the waves of enemies and defeat The Terror at The Top !

The method:

  • The backpack is the place you can place your items in. In the beginning, its rather small, but the further you progress, the bigger it becomes!
  • Gather backpack extensions and place them properly in order to fit in all the items you want! Be aware though! All extensions change the way you and the enemies scale.
  • You can buy items during the game to place them in your backpack. Items in the backpack give passive attacks, special abilities or stat bonusses which will scale< your power even further. Make sure the items fit though! Some of them are really big (and strong!)
  • Once you have prepared your backpack, you take on the waves of the Last Mountain. Between each wave, you are able to expand your backpack further!
  • Using the powerful weapons prepared, you can survive the waves! 
  • But be aware! The enemies become stronger, faster and nastier the further you get! They scale in power as well.

 

Can you conquer and scale the last mountain? Only one way to find out! 

Good luck on your journey Hero!

Really enjoyed the idea of building up your inventory with different bag shapes, buffs and debuffs. Felt like there were some interesting items to make build choices for repeat playthroughs varied and fun too. Very satisfying when the build gets a bit out of control damage wise! Would definitely come back to play more if you do any updates. Had a lot of fun, great job!

It was really fun, I played the whole thing with a staff-heavy build. Kinda went in to the boss before realizing that chain lightning and random-direction dagger aren't that great against a single opponent but managed to win anyways.

One thing, I would make the skeletons a little bit lighter in color. They would stand out better in both the dark dungeon and the following daylit map.

Thanks for the reply! The boss surely punishes you a bit for having a swarm killer build, but as you managed to kill is anyway it seems like it is fine hehe.

The skeletond come on 2 versions. I can see the darker ones being badly visible against certain backgrounds. We will take this into consideration when continuing development on this game after the jam.

Great to hear you had fun! :D

Really fun, really fun game!

I had fun playing, great job!

Thanks for your kind words !
Glad you had fun :)

Really great Game hope to see more in the Future.

I think it has great potential

Thank you !


We agree with the potential and we will be working on it after the game jam (so keep your eyes open for a final release ;P)

Great game!
