Inventory Manager

What a gem, especially for only a dollar. Inventory Manager is super fun. You run a shop, and you try to keep up expanding your supply and inventory while not pissing off too many orcs.

You start with a tiny shop inventory, and you hire an adventurer to go out and get stuff for you. Different adventurers will bring you different items. So an alchemist brings you consumables, chefs bring food, smiths bring weapons, and so on. You take the stuff from the adventurers, and find inventory space in your shop for it. As shoppers pass by at the top of the screen, you drag and drop items to match what the shoppers want. The shoppers give you money, you clear inventory space, and you keep going. You can sort your inventory storage by rarity or by item type, or a bit of both. You need to balance buying more inventory spaces and hiring more adventurers to keep your shop growing.

The fun really comes in when all of your adventurers come back at once and you are short on inventory space. Adventurers won't wait forever for you to take their items, and they get impatient. If you take too long they just throw their item into a random inventory space that will take the item. The item will break, and it will still take up inventory space until you trash the broken item. This can quickly cascade out of control and an adventure will chuck an item into a spot you wanted, causing you delay, and then all of your other adventurers get mad at you for taking too long, and then you have an inventory full of trash.

The good news is that even if you make a ton of mistakes and miss all kinds of stuff, there is really no harm done. You can come back from any mistakes or bad days, and it doesn't matter. Just keep doing your best, having fun, and it all works out. You can also buy some automation items that will do some of the work for you, and if you get the hang of these things, it can make your shop more productive.

I think this game would have been a fair deal at $5, but at $1 it's a steal. This is just a fun way to pass some time, and it's well done.

Honestly, really really really good game. For a price point of 1usd (ish) a real gem. Honestly probably would have paid 5usd for it. I played for over 2 hours straight and it felt like any time passed at all. (at time of writing this game is roughly 1 us Dollar)

it's very disappointing how bad this game is. The idea is great but implementation is poor.

First of all, the game design is too shallow. You see all the content from the start. No real progression. It doesn't motivates you to grind manually to get automation things earlier (money is earned easily), no real need to use all that filters to optimise your setup. The only viable option is to sell high power armor or weapon of any rarity to merchant to get extra money. But there is no filters for power and you don't really need that extra money since there is nothing new to expect from the gameplay. I also naturally expected to be able to merge the same items to get an upgraded one with better stats. But this wouldn't help the game anyway.

Second, the UI is eye-killing. I could live with the text being to small in some place, but the wooden background where you objects is irritating as hell. It's a challenge to see things on it.

I wanted to be wrong with my impression. I know that developing a game is not an easy thing. But it is what it is. The only positive thing is how the orcs are drawn. At least, i don't feel money-grabbed since the game is almost free. Technically it's pretty good for an indie project. The core problem is the game design. Hope the developer would learn from this project to make better games in future.
