Inventure
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
Inventure
Hera is a brave adventurer on a quest for loot and glory.
You are her mum - and, naturally, you’ve ended up carrying her rucksack.
Hera will pick up any piece of rubbish in front of her, and you’ll need to tidy her bag so it doesn’t get full, and give her the weapons she needs to fight all those nasty monsters she encounters on her quest.
Good luck!
About the game
Inventure is an action puzzle game where you play as the person holding the adventurer's bag.
We were aiming for a fusion between the inventory management of games like Deus Ex, and the frantic block-tidying of Tetris.
If that sounds like it's for you, add it to your collection, and follow Alackaday Games for updates.
Let us know if you enjoy it!
System requirements
The game has been tested on Windows 10 and an M1 MacBook. It should work on most modern windows and mac devices, but if you're unsure just give it a download and have a see.
How to play
There's a tutorial in the game which covers all this. It's in the How to Play menu!
- Items will appear in the inventory as Hera picks them up.
- Merge sets of three identical items in the merge boxes.
- Different items have different effects:
- Weapons give Hera power
- Food gives Hera health
- Coins give Hera gold
- Enemies are defeated if Hera's power is greater or equal to theirs
- Get as far as you can, and try to get the highest score
- Score is accrued by merging items and defeating enemies
Controls
- Left click items to pick them up
- Left click again to place them
- Right click to drop them back where you found them
- Press R to rotate items
- Press space to speed up time

Some admin
The current game is in prototype form, and if people enjoy it, we might flesh it out some more in future.
For now it's free, but we will probably make it not-free if we bulk it out into a full release.
So download it for free! At this stage, we just want people to try it out and let us know if they like it, but if you do want to chuck a couple of dollars towards development, the option's there.

Hi!
I tried the game, and it was still so early in development that I can't really give any feedback now. But the game lacked so many things that stopped me from having fun. Just moving and collecting items which has no tooltip, merging items just removing my items, enemies just vanish the moment I reach them, RNG being so random, lack of any sort of control over the character, etc.
I know this is a prototype, but still no sign of fun in this game. I hope you can publish a newer prototype/demo so we can fully understand what is the scope of this game.
We really appreciate you taking the time to play, and thanks for the feedback! Sorry to hear you didn't gel with it - part of the reason we released a playable prototype was so that we could get feedback like this, so thanks. Some of the things you've mentioned are stuff we know about and will try to address in any future updates.
