Runventory
A downloadable game
About the game:
You're running along a very deep hallway, collecting up treasures and dreaming of glory - but don't be too greedy! There's only so many items you can carry before the size of your inventory crushes you!
Some items will stack into a more valuable item, freeing up space for you. Keep an eye out to what's happening in your inventory! You'll want to note down how items combine in order to increase your survival rate.
Other items are basically junk, or rarely stack up. You can slide under them (s/down keys) or jump over them (w/up keys) to avoid picking them up. Furthermore, you can maximize your stretches by dashing forward (d/right keys).
Oh! It turns out you'll also need to fend off the guardians on the dungeon! Just jump over them or onto their heads and you should be fine.
Remember - you can't run from your own inventory!
Controls:
w/up to jump

Lots of Ludum Dare 42 submissions have been trying to develop an interesting, inventory-based mechanic - and hey, you've done it! Although the player has to experiment a lot first to figure out which items together form new items that occupy only one slot, but it was totally worth it. It's easy to get into your game, it feels polished, the pixel art is nice to look at... It's a great little game for the coffee break! :) That's why I recommended your game along with two others in one of our compilation articles about the jam, and included a minute of gameplay in the article video. <3 Keep it up, that was neat!
Best wishes,
Sebastian
