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.

The game is alright. You will probably get about 2 hours of fun out of this one. Once you figure out a system that works for you and automate it, it just becomes a matter of scaling up. What I feel the game lacks to play it for more than 2 hours is a general sense of progression that you have in other idle games. (think about rebirth mechanics, multipliers, new encounters) It is just a matter of scaling up and seeing your coins increase. There is nothing really new to look forward to. There are a bunch of new items your adventurers can bring back, but those upgrades didn't really feel impactful as it will just be picked up by your sorters and distributed like usual. A big thing that made me kinda stop playing is that adventurer shop became a chore to sort through. It gets filled up with a long list really fast and finding desirable adventurers (ones that have a low % on poor/common gear) just felt boring after 1-2 hours. Though it did feel good at the start when I picked up my first few adventurers. I did not really feel attached to my adventurers anymore once I had like 10+ of them. It did feel great once I had everything automated, though with the sorting system I used, the specific type inventories were obsolete. (I only used the rarity ones, then straight to shop) If it was more expensive I wouldn't recommend it. But can't really complain because of its price as you will get about 2 hours out of it.

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)
