Deer and tombstone is a really fun combo to get. And the rat king change does sound like it made it a lot more viable.

I'd love to see even more done with the game if that ends up being a direction you wanna take it and enjoy working on it. I haven't ever played Dorfromantik, but I love Slay the Spire and it also has a similar vibe to Backpack Hero. Maybe if all three had a very weird baby lol. Either way, I've been having a ton of fun and definitely gives that Spire dopamine I can see myself coming back to get again and again.

I really like Cerberus, Rat, Rat King, Deer, Tombstone, and Doppelganger mix. Its fun to try to place things just right and when you get a big absorb with Rat King its so satisfying. Usually Cerberus doesn't work too well with Rat King, but its a cute dog so I have a hard time passing it up lol. Really just all the tiles that have some animal on them are probably my favourites cause they are cute. I like the angels and vampires, too, though I have never managed to get a full pack of vamps haha.

I just played a pretty good game with Ghoul, Reaper,  Human, Golem, and Temple in it. The builds with Cinder and Fire type cards I have a hard time with and have been trying to get better. I do like to use the bonfire with the fangs (forgot if those are the actual names of the cards) and absorb the bonfire points before they diminish, but thats the only fire card I have played with much success.

What about you, do you have a favourite build to play and/or favourite tile to design?

This game has been giving me the Tetris effect in my head since I started playing it. It is so addictive and has a ton of potential! I would love to see even more tiles and effects added, even possibly a longer game mode. I find when I beat a game, I'm almost disappointed because I wanted to keep going and see my build pop off in further rounds.

The style and theme is also fun and makes the game that much better and unique, it really adds personality to each tile. It is really fun to try different build synergies and see what combos work well, what I have the most fun with (even if not optimal), and try to get better at builds I struggle with.

Seriously, I'm really enjoying this and every time I close the tab, I find myself reopening it throughout the day to play just oneeee more game!
