Hey everyone,
Version 0.6.4 of the Backpack Battles demo is here! It adds a crafted item, the Cap of Discomfort. I'm sure you'll figure out the recipe!
We are also buffing many items, such as the Blood Amulet. It now gives maximum health, which is a completely new effect - so we'll see how it affects the game. Another one is the Deck of Cards: When you buy it, a Playing Card will be offered in its place.
In this version, we also fix a lot of smaller issues like the Start Backpack Battle button being clicked through items stacked in the storage, and many things related to recipes. Please let us know any bugs you find related to these changes.
We hope we can further increase the build variety with this version. Please remember that we do these balancing/content patches weekly and the game is far from finished. We also have some big announcements soon!
Have fun!
- Doro & Mario
