Nice idea, tho I feel the backpack is really underutilized so in the end it's reduced to a annoying gimmick
(also, I had to scale the screen using browser zoom to have a reasonable field of view)

Very cool idea and well done for executing this premise well in only 48hrs 👏👏👏

I think the concept is really neat, but unfortunately I was unable to get the lever on the second bridge to work and after 2 minutes of shooting it, scrolling into the backpack reloading and shooting it again I gave up. I tried both types of ammo and different parts of the lever. If anyone figures out what I'm doing wrong please let me know because I'd love to see the story!

Nice little demo. I would appreciate if the movement speed was a bit higher, because it feels very slow right now. Also some introduction to the ammo types would be nice, it took me a while to figure out I had to press the button twice.

Having the garden world inside the backpack was really unexpected, well done!
It could use more love in the platforming controls to make them feel a bit more natural and pleasant.

I did read your block of text ;-)
You did really well. It's a great idea, having a microworld in the backpack. I love it. Please extend the game further !

Another idea could be that the guy in the backpack has a backpack as well, and we could zoom inside it too...
