"That game was cool!  I like Backpack Boy!"

- Video Game Dunkey

Beginning as a submission to the 2023 Big Mode Game Jam, Backpack Boy, a puzzle-platformer built around using special light sources to affect the world around you has been expanded to a full game with new levels and new mechanics.

We got the opportunity for many streamers and content creators to play and enjoy our demo, including VideoGameDunkey, Trisha Hershberger, Yogcast and many more!

We currently have over 200 streamers/creators who have requested keys with more adding to that number every day.  We would love to get our game in the hands in as many of you as we can.

If you covered the demo previously, you may get access to giveaway keys (dependant on audience size).  Those who did not cover the demo may also request giveaway keys for their audience but they are not guaranteed.

We should begin giving out keys at the end of July, so after requesting keep an eye out for that approval.

We hope you love the game!

Flashlight

The Flashlight is the first and most important tool in your backpack. Though, this flashlight doesn't just light up the dark. It shines its way to somewhere else. Use it to solve puzzles and explore a dilapidated facility that has been long abandoned.

Lantern

The second tool at your disposal is The Lantern. Endowed with the same power as The Flashlight, these lanterns provide the ability to punch holes between here and somewhere else. But what are they doing here? And who left them?

About the Game

This short experience is packed full of fun and interesting puzzles.

Explore deeper to uncover the mysteries at the heart of the facility.

Something is waiting for you...
