Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Tão bom quanto já era na demo! Gostei muito dos quebra-cabeças e da dinâmica da lanterna, indico demais pros fãs de puzzles.
Genuinely a good time. It certainly did feel like it was worth its cost, but it was a great time nonetheless. 7/10.
I died so many times, it was CRAZYYYYY. Backpack Boy has a lengthy puzzle gameplay between 2-4 hours in a normal run for first-time players. There is a bit of lore that is scattered throughout the levels you go through, and it leaves you wondering what the history behind your character is. Some achievements can provide you insight into the game's lore. Unfortunately, the game has hard replayability, since you have to go through the entire game again if you want a different ending (or spend 20min+ skipping all levels + running from the boss + 1-shot killing the boss or else the game crashes). So for you 100% completionists like me, this is exhausting. There seems to be two endings, and I got the most common one (where you die to the boss before starting the game again and beating it). I tried to get the first ending, but it is quite hard and tedious, so I'll probably just watch someone beat the game with the first ending :P Overall, this game is a solid 9/10 on my puzzle-game radar. -Rei

Excellent platformer / puzzle à embarquer partout avec soi sur son Steam Deck, que ce soit pendant un voyage ou les vacances. Je recommande !
Backpack Boy, ışığı kullanma fikriyle dikkat çeken, merak uyandırıcı bir bulmaca-platform oyunu. El fenerinin yalnızca etrafı aydınlatmakla kalmayıp geçmişi ortaya çıkarması ve çevreyi değiştirmesi, bulmacalara güzel bir farklılık katıyor. İlerlemek için sadece zıplamak değil, çevreye dikkat edip farklı düşünmek de gerekiyor. Terk edilmiş tesisin gizemli atmosferi de keşfetme isteğini canlı tutuyor. Uzun soluklu bir maceradan ziyade kısa ve yaratıcı bir deneyim arayanlara hitap ediyor. Bulmaca çözmeyi, keşfetmeyi ve ilginç mekaniklere sahip bağımsız oyunları seviyorsanız şans vermenizi öneririm!
Clever puzzles, nice little game. I struggled a bit to get controller working on Linux and gave up; plays fine with keyboard+mouse.
Krótka, wartka i treściwa. Pixel-art połączony z platformowymi elementami pełnymi logicznych rozwiązań. Czasem oczywiste jest niespodziewane, a nieoczywiste banalne. Mini lvl, gdzie latarka potrafi zwiększyć IQ gracza: + grafika + muzyka + sterowanie + różnorodność i zmienność zagadek + mini bosy + nie wymaga znajomości języka obcego + / - krótka, a co za dużo to niezdrowo więc idealnie wywarzona. Takich gierek właśnie brakuje. Kiedyś z chęcią do niej wrócę . To tylko parę godzinek, a jak rusza główkę! :)
Only an hour into this game and I'm loving every piece of it
Un jeu compacte mais bien fun, aux designs mignons (avec un peu d'étrange), et aux puzzles et mécaniques simples mais efficaces pour quelques heures de réflexions sans trop de prise de tête.
Some cool puzzle concepts. Doesn't get too evil; keeps it nice and short.
