Nice inventory system! I also like the cute pixel art and the dynamic background :).

I think the backpack size has not challenged me in a very interesting way: at first I could collect without much penalty… then later, when I got too tall, I lost motivation to keep exploring, knowing I would need to throw things out and have little room to keep collecting. Interesting concept though, I like how intuitive the growing backpack is :)!

I really enjoyed this! It was fun having to balance the hoard and my ability to get around. Fun game!

I like the tetris-themed inventory system, it's a great fit to the theme! Gameplay was simple and fun, and the inventory adds that extra layer of challenge that kept me hooked for awhile.
