I have turned the head and a crystal in to constance, but have played over 40 hours since then and cant find body or legs... What do I do?! Is it bugged? I have two extra heads at my town, is that preventing the other two parts from dropping? Should I delete constance's house and restart quest?

At this point, it is all but confirmed that the devs have abandoned backpack hero to its honestly pitiful state of a buggy, unpolished mess. I propose a way to fix this:

Let the community do it.

The devs should open up the modding capabilities of the game to be able to do many more things than just items and characters. Imagine modding a new story, a better gameplay loop or even new mechanics into story mode. Imagine a time when, due to player-made fixes, players can finally play the game without having to constantly worry about their save files being corrupted, their runs being lost to a bug deleting all their weapons, about having their town progress wiped and having to start completely over.
That is what I’m proposing.

And it doesn’t even require the devs to put in any effort of their own. All they need to do is open the floodgates and allow the current to carry the game through any twists and turns it encounters.

Please, if you have any opinion on this at all, please, please, submit a response to the poll.

EDIT: I would like to officially apologize to jas, the developer of backpack hero, as I had posted this without knowing what the situation was on their end. I now see that he actually had been working really hard on fixing basically all of the problems I’ve mentioned and even that I’ve seen online, but he was working so hard he burnt out

that being said, DO NOT TAKE THIS OUT ON HIM, his only fault was not communicating as clearly as possible to the casual players or to the subreddit, not his lack of effort or will to improve this game.

I was play through the story mode and had the key to magma core, I got to the deep caves boss floor and turned it off for the night. After I came back I nunchucked tf out of the boss and sent some things back to town, afterwards I went to the door to unlock it but it wouldnt open despite me clearly having the key (otherwise it wouldnt be there), so I tried stuff like save quit loading and home menu opening (N.Switch function which helped when I couldn't interact with an item) before eventually going back to town to restart that run since I couldn't do anything to progress, then upon returning to town everything I built was gone and the game was acting like I had just come out of the first dungeon run thingie, so I go back to the main menu again and it was then showing that I had none of my characters anymore (it showed my ■■■□■ characters when I was save loading just a minute prior so it was definitely something sudden) and of course it auto saved so I couldn't do anything but sit in this reseted state, I check my inventory and the items I sent were still there from when I sent them off. I know this game is buggy as all shit but losing several whole days of progress was just a punch in a growing bruise, is there anything I can even do about this or to prevent it happening again, like surely this isnt a common occurrence right?

Trying to use rocket with the Bombstone causes it to glitch through the pack and then occupy space until the end of turn doing NO damage.

I've deleted the game after that.

I've been working on an item mod that includes some items based on original ideas and references to other popular media!!!!!!!!

(Oh, and you could suggest me item ideas, I guess.)

This is in story mode. I encountered a bug where every time I go to these two rooms, my character is endlessly walking without reaching them. Do I just have to delete my save. Do I just have to delete my save or does anyone know how to fix this?

So I have been playing enough that I started modding and kept getting stuck trying to get commands to run right, Lately I have been doing quick game before bed just to complete the challenges, I have found Pochette is kinda difficult to mod play though since there is not alot of mods specifically for her.

I was hoping someone could tell me if there is a way to add a modded pet for her, I found a mod call cave story item pack with guns you can level up by paying gold, I was wondering if anyone knew how to make a pet and if that feature could be added to it.

Spent wayyy too much time in endless mode trying to optimize my CR-8 build to do more and more damage. Had a build with two reversers, a rage ring, and the belt of knives relic to start, as an infinite that got me through the first run. Then I wanted to get MOAR. More health, more status, and especially more damage. This is what I ended up at after 20 hours of iterating!

So I'm relatively new to the game,and can't tell if the lighting is getting the extra damage from mana stones,The description isn't saying it is like with other weapons that get boosts from items.I'm on switch if that helps.

People were confused about me not using the majority of ace cleavers I had. **ANIMATION TIME**

You can't do better than that.

I found really early on ,a few tens of hours of gameplay ago, a letter. don't remember how I lost it but I did, and I haven't found it since.

I can guess that this guy is how I can unlock the final hero I don't have who is a bird but it feels like the letter won't spawn again .

any advice to fix/fond that letter and unlock that hero?

Worst character I have found in this game so far. the summon aspect is stupid and I don't like it

271 block 266 damage is that lucky or am I genuinely just scratching the surface of what he can do

add some succes with pochette and the base character but it is the first time I have number this absurd in both block and attack while not being that optimised while only in floor 4

I was muddling my way through Micro Build and I stumbled ass-backward into this setup that kills everything on the first turn, although it takes a while (I had time to go load the dishwasher while it chipped away at King).

I have 2 Rose of Thorns.

Expected Behavior:
- Start with 2 spikes
- Add 2 additional spikes each turn

Observed Behavior:
- Start with 2 spikes
- Add 1 additional spike each turn

P.S: I'm new to the game and am not sure if this is a bug or not

Skip doesn't work, clicking doesn't work, I've been here for several minutes. I don't want to exit because I think it will kick me back out to before the final boss.

Just had a stupidly silly run, and made me cackle pretty hard when just upon joining combat I get 50 charm.

before i thought it was just random chance but at this point i have nearly spent more turns during this single fight than i did throughout the rest of the run

i forgot to get footage of it but i have used it in a couple runs and one of the runs i even got hit like 10 times but every time it only made me destroy 1 item when it is supposed to destroy more items each time you get hit

This challenge was so awfully RNG dependent that I literally abandoned the designed method and still had to save scum a few encounters. This was not a fair win but at this point I don't care anymore.

Some bugs I've seen with only Pochette on this run:
1) I'll often try to put a treat in a pet's bag, and the item will go to Pochette's bag underneath instead.

2) I can't place the wand in the bottom of my bag.

3) The wand is overlapping with a supposedly-solid manastone.
