Grow your humble business by selling backpacks of items to anthropomorphic customers!


How to Play

Click the mouse to interact with buttons, pick up and set down backpacks, or buy upgrades. Click Next Day when you are ready to gather items and sell to customers.

Gameplay Tips

  • The contents of each backpack are displayed underneath it.
  • To sell a backpack's contents, move it underneath a compatible customer and click Next Day in the bottom-right corner.
  • New customers arrive daily, so waiting a couple of days for a bigger sale may be more rewarding.

Credits

Packrat was created with the Godot engine in 3 weeks and includes original code, sound, and art.

The full team included:

  • Sam Bumgardner - lead designer, programmer, animator
  • Noah Bumgardner - designer, programmer, composer
  • Tom Bumgardner - artist; drew all backgrounds, regions, items, and customers

The Roboto font was created by Christian Robertson. Given its external source, please do not consider the font when rating our team's artistic work (the rest of which was made within the confines of the jam).
