There are items that can be used outside of combat, you have to right click to do so (the dice) Also right clicking items brings up some cool options like “use as much as you can” and “view card” (view the whole pop up with a scroll bar so you can actually read the whole thing)
Personally I feel like they should add a visual effect of every time their backpack's space increases the backpack on the character sprites become bigger too, with 3-4 tiers of sizes.
Items have a right-click menu. You need to right-click the legendary die thing. Also, it's the most useless thing ever, like seriously- it does just let you take one more item from the loot already visible. You can right-click an item like, say, a weapon, and choose to 'use as many times as you can', as well.
people often say your upload schedule influencing their sleep schedules. meanwhile me, on the other side of the world, thinks your videos are great to watch while having lunch lol. i admire your consistent daily uploads! also, it's been some time since you've uploaded a video of Dicey Dungeons. i'm concerned if this is due to burnout or the feeling you're stuck because of the contestants' Elimination Rounds. keep resting as much as you need to, Tyler
He said this week would be a variety week and then there were also a few updates like this one he had to check out. I’d imagine there will be another dicey soon enough. There’s just a lot to play right now.
Not to be weird, but I often fall asleep to Tyler's voice. Very mellow and methodical... just the way I like it. Finish the video when I get home from work.
Honestly the thing that I think will benefit this game is more stuff that enemies can do that interacts with your backpack, like disabling items, moving them around, giving them light and heavy etc, I think that 1. will make fights more dynamic 2. Open opportunities for new designs, and 3. help the enemies feel like they are actually involved with the main mechanic the game is built around.
i think the dice actually increase the number of items that appear that you can choose from after combat by 1, so for example, if you would have gotten 6 options, 7 will appear
@@Juniper_Rose Yeah, although I think they've been getting better at that over time. I actually haven't played it in a few months, maybe I'll go back and give it a few runs now.
It would be really cool to see the creator at a sort of "versus mode" where the game keeps track of players' builds and uses that player build as an AI boss fight instead of normal bosses.
I'm mildly peeved that he spent the entire latter half of the run with the disabled red energy token, that's the one that only works if the spaces 2 blocks away is clear.
You have to give them a weapon to get the archery kit, and you usually don't have spare weapons. On top of that, shops will only purchase 3 items now and most of the archery kit items are common
So my question is that now that there's a new character is the first one going to have something unique added to them or is it just going to be a basic while the rest are more advanced once more are added
doubt he'll get a new feature. It makes sense though. Imagine starting the game and you immediately get an additional mechanic thrown at you when you havent even learned the basics.
I can imagine they'll get a loot reroll or just extra choices; and then when playing other characters you'll notice a downgrade in that department rather than having to learn something unique to the beginner character
@Engineer Gaming hmm, that's interesting. I wonder if that means there will be other characters later down the line who are meant for stamina-heavy builds or something.
Ok, turns out the extra characters aren't available in the free version, but the free version did get the new items and gameplay changes at the same time, which was what I cared about more anyway.
Honestly, I don't like that frog character because of that. Instead of slowly assembling a fun and unique inventory you just start out with busted items, infinite energy scaling and almost no need to actually manage your backpack, since you've got a whole separate wheel with your items.
@@ha-mz3ou have you actually played with the frog character? it's quite interesting how you can make a build that goes heavy on the carvings or how you can make one that uses it more as a secondary aspect and focus mainly on the items
@@axolotl_princess I can see how this character can be interesting and fun, I just don't think it fits the backpack hero style at all, having to manage very card-like carvings and posessing innate abilities instead of having to come up with your own unique build along the way (not to imply you can't do that as the frog, just that the builds I've seen so far tend to focus on(or go hand-to-hand with) carvings, which get boring fast, and if they aren't, well, then what's the point of even having carvings) and solving the problems in your build only using the items you've scavenged(and not some helmet that gives you smth like 25 free block without even being in your backpack). It just seems like I'm being spoon-fed the same mechanic every run, which is the opposite of what makes backpack hero special (aka variety).
"Why would I make enemies weak when I can just kill them?" Pretty succinctly describes a problem this game has: There is no synergy beyond "More Damage". Disabling or debuffing enemies doesn't matter. I can just kill them. Buffing my armor doesn't matter. I can just kill them. Consumables are only valuable if they help me kill stuff faster. This game seems fun but it definitely needs to work on that gap; "What's the point of doing any of this fun stuff if the best strategy is killing mobs first" You have so many of the same fight but the background wall is different. Okay, cool. It's got SO much potential and SO much charm and Tote is DEFINITELY a step in the right direction, but as it stands...this game has to do a lot more to be worth even 15 bucks. This, as it stands, is a very barebones game. A labor of love, maybe! And it's very cute and, again, it has charm! ...but charm isn't going to keep people from getting a refund after they do the loop in less than 2 hours.
Well sure killing the enemy is the goal. But armore and health is still important. you cant just go to 1k damadge and obliterate every enemy. you need armore and a shield to live longer and you need consumables that give you health, regen or armore to be able to tank more and finnaly kill the enemy. The goal is to out live them and go deeper into the caves. And playing the game out in 2 hours is not really possible unless you only use the duck and charm the enemies till they go to your side (the duck really is eazy) but if you want to try and win as an archer, wizard and... you will need more time and learn more.
I hope they add more fight diversity, but I want them to add town first before adding more charters, enemies and items. Because it makes the charters make more sense and fit into the game, also it will let you have some kind of permanent progress
Did... did the title just change!? "The Frog Character Finally Has Some Interesting Weapons! - Backpack Hero" to "Every Carving Scales My POWER LEVEL! - Backpack Hero" Did I finally catch one?
Looks much better mechanically. before there was not great incentive to have a lot of carvings but buffing your starting weapon with the size of the discard pile is a nice extra. Also the ghost green bag spaces was so bad.
I think that, if you want to make fights fun, you should either make them different from each other or, like in Alina of the Arena, make making big plays actually feel powerful.
personally I'm thinking the mouse was solid. different mice with different looks and starting perks and running with that theme should have been a focal point of the game. and creating a frog that is a character that completely redefines the game mechanics is just some how wrong I mean right because it's a frog and different but also some how wrong lol
Tyler I don't know if you'll see this but give Holocure a try, it's a Vampire Survivors style game that's just released as a demo with 5+6 characters available It's also completely free
Never using the Dreaming Sword kind of highlights the problem with "buff this weapon" mechanics. You had a better item that you never used because it didn't have buffs. All it does is lock you into the weapon you're already using since the permanent bonus from left clicking an item once always overshadows any incremental upgrades.
When you put your berserker’s ring into the ONE SPACE that you weren’t allowed to, AND THEN ALSO THE COINS, making the crimson energy useless, my OCD was triggering and it was hard to watch the video.
THE GOLD THE GOOOLD THE GOOOLD BLOCKS THE ENERGY NOOOOOOO he whole video I'm throwing full wine bottles at my computer screen He never moves the Gold. Oh well. GG.

The dreaming sword being vertical when it could be horizontal is painful because he is reducing the amount of damage the shiv carving does.
I draw! I ACTIVATE POT OF CARVING! Pot of carving allows me to draw two carvings from my deck to my hand.
i think the dice actually increase the number of items that appear that you can choose from after combat by 1, so for example, if you would have gotten 6 options, 7 will appear
It's much more plausible that it's just bugged. This recent update has been riddled with em.
@@linguine1091 good point
7 is the normal amount
@@kiranaun9593 well, then i have no idea
nope, it does allow you to grab a 4th item. you just have to right click it to use it.
Him messing up the crimson energy and being -1 energy for the rest of his run from the half-way point hurt my SOUL.

@@Juniper_Rose Yeah, although I think they've been getting better at that over time. I actually haven't played it in a few months, maybe I'll go back and give it a few runs now.

He starts with 2 energy. So I think it's working
@@johnsonnguyen6046 he also has the berserker ring, should start with 3 energy if everything was working.
Wouldn’t Dreaming Sword accumulate more damage if he used the shiny carving on it instead of the mossy mace?
I've been wondering, you have a shop you can go straight to, so why skip the archery kits and not just take them and immediately sell them
You have to give them a weapon to get the archery kit, and you usually don't have spare weapons. On top of that, shops will only purchase 3 items now and most of the archery kit items are common
While the above is certainly true, I think it's also just Tyler being lazy. He doesn't care enough.
Challenge for you in this game: take the worst item/weapon/relic every time and attempt to win. Or you can go for a no synergy run.
So my question is that now that there's a new character is the first one going to have something unique added to them or is it just going to be a basic while the rest are more advanced once more are added

purse's unique mechanic will be that she'll have the biggest backpack (eventually)

@Engineer Gaming hmm, that's interesting. I wonder if that means there will be other characters later down the line who are meant for stamina-heavy builds or something.
Pot of Gree- I mean carving
I was pleasantly surprised that the online version was updated with the new characters, I thought only the Steam version was getting updates.
Ok, turns out the extra characters aren't available in the free version, but the free version did get the new items and gameplay changes at the same time, which was what I cared about more anyway.
You have to right click the dice after combat it then let's you add 1 more item (from 3 to 4)
Tyler your crimson energy was doing nothing pretty much the whole game
Its not boring, its nice to know your strats
To be honest i love early floors but not for the fights, i like to see how the backpack and the build develops step by step
I do agree this whole carving system is just slay the spire and not backpack hero
