I want try my best, why evil orgo from start? xD

Developer

Well, Orgo from Orc and evil because they are red. I believe it had something to do with a disease in that forest that is spreading that makes things red and agressive

Submitted

I talk about he my first enemy in this run and i cant defeat him with starter items)

Developer

I understand now. That has never happened to me during my testing phases. Very interesting

Submitted

Love the chunky pixel characters, good tunes. I like bag organization and stacking items. Nice job

Developer

Thank you! The art is from Shoppai, he is a great pixel artist. Check him out https://shoppai.itch.io/!

Submitted

Very good game! The mood is amazing and everything fits nicely together. 
If I'd say one thing, it's about the difficulty curve that could be adjusted: I feel like the game becomes really easy at the end

Developer

Thank you, I agree. The design of difficulty could have been improved

Submitted

Very original game in a beautiful environment ! Music is also quite relaxing

Only critic : the game lacks more tiers for the mergings, but for a 3-days work I think it's great !

Developer

Thank you, the art was made by Shoppai! I agree, there could be a lot more mergings but due to the time limit I could only implement so much.

Very nice game ! Nice Idea with a great execution.

My only little point of frustration was that I wasn't able to order my items in the inventory but that's perfectly fine not to have that for a jam.

I'd love to see what more you can add to the game if you plan on continuing it after the jam.

Great work :)

In terms of Game Design, I felt that it would add a bit of difficulty to not be able to move items around, as you would need to quickly memorize where they are. But I do get your point, thank you!

Submitted

I like the durability on the items and the drops after each encounter; managing the inventory and dealing with the different encounters is really an awesome idea - it'd be neat to have different monster types that responded to different weapon-types and defense accessories; but yah for such a short period of time this is awesome work!

Developer

Yeah! I had many ideas for this game, such as yours,  but because it is a three days game jam I had to be humble about it. Thank you!

Submitted

That was fun. In the long run it gets a bit repetitive, but it was a nice experience. And the art is top.

I'm just wondering what's the story behind this game. A barefoot guy in the wood collects random stuff and beats monsters. :D

Developer(+1)

Imagine waking up barefoot in the woods with random monsters and not beating the hell out of 'em haha.  It is true,  it gets repetitive but it is what it is for three days. Thank you

Submitted

You've got a very cool runner! You have good graphics and music. I really liked the game concept. A very cool idea of merging weapons and conducting combat fights. The game lacks variety. Thanks for your cool game!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the comment! It is true, lacks a bit of variety but it is what it is for 3 days! 

Submitted

A very well rounded game, had a blast playing it, keep up the good work, well done :)

Developer

very nice, inventory management and perfect theme execution. very good

Developer

Thank you!

Perfect!

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

Rather interesting, the one thing that does confuse me is the gems. Do they give extra points or something, as I couldn't find a use for them and they just cluttered up my inventory. Otherwise honestly really fun gameplay, the music is just a little grating if I'm to be honest.

Developer

You can use the gems on the weapons, think of them as upgrades! Thank you!

Great game, nice leaderboard UI/setup

Developer

Hi, thank you!

Submitted

Super fun, addictive and quite complexe. I love it

Submitted

This has a really cute design and I also love the variety of enemies. Though I do think it is a bit too easy

Developer

I agree, it is a bit easy for now. Thank you!

Submitted

I'll keep playing that from time to time! Good job! You should consider workin a bit more on it and make it a big game, cause i would totally buy it!

Developer

I was very happy to hear that! Thank you!

Submitted

I love the visual style, and also the polished UI. Good job!

Developer

Thank you! Visuals was made by Shoppai  https://shoppai.itch.io/

Very satisfying and chill game. I love the variety of possible combinations, it's very fun to discover them

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

nice game dude

Developer

Thank you! Loved the title of your entry!

Submitted

415, plays great. trying different combinations is really exciting when you find a new combination (fire sword!). great pace, nice work!

Developer

That is impressive! Thank you, I am glad you discovered the fire sword! I was thinking of adding elemental damage but time was short
