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.
