You are a practitioner of the darkest magic of all: inventory management. A packtitioner, if you will.

Fill your backpack with loot to increase your arcane power. When your pack is heavy with loot, your attacks are lethal, and treasure is worth more.

Go forth and bring ruin to all pots, vases, urns, and other assorted receptacles. For when you bring the world's end, there will be only one storage solution:

THE BAG OF CLICKS.

(Full disclosure: I made the wiggly cursor & menus before the theme was announced)

Really Cool Idea, definitely similar to what I thought of (although much better executed!!)

You make really good art. Although I wasn't a fan of the pause menu, because it overlaps with the rest of the game, making it quite difficult to read. Also I got stuck for a hot minute trying to figure out how to restart. Having "quit" return you to the menu isn't really that intuitive and I think there should have been another button for restarting.

Gameplay was good, but I feel there's a lack of a threat. Coins are almost everywhere, so you don't need to worry you'll miss one and inventory was quite spacious for what it was. I never felt I had too little space.

But overall, good entry

beautifull art! Sound effect are cool too. Just need a good background music to get 5/5.
The gameplay is really fun and fit the theme perfectly.

I must say, this is a flawless piece of work deserving of full marks. If I were to nitpick something that could be improved, it would be the slight delay in mouse tracking.

Very good. I think there should be a score system or something but that's my only complaint. The graphics and audio were great as well.

this is a really cool variation on the auto-battlers/vs-like game genre. i love the idea of having something relatively simple to manage while chugging through enemies :)

Wonderful visual art and great sound effects! It was quite a challenge to balance it all once the pace picked up! Rather interesting gameplay loop.

What incredible animation! The wizard is adorable, and even the cursors are juicy. The gameplay ramps up very nicely, introducing things at a casual pace, and eventually becomes hectic. Definitely my favorite LD54 game I've played so far!

This is a really nice game and a great concept! I'm surprised it's in the danger zone tbh. It's polished, looks and sounds good and easy to play.
My only feedback is that it isn't clear how many hits I can take and that there should be a retry button after losing...
I can definitely see this being expanded. Congrats!

Adorable game, love the art style and cute sounds. With an art pass and little elaboration this game would be a really fun itch game
