Create and customize your character.

Look at the icons in the upper right corner, they inform you if your character is hungry, tired or bored.

Drag and drop him into the right room at home to meet his needs.

Put your character in the yard to kill the zombies walking there. And take him back home so that he can recover.

Cute game! I liked the character customization, and the house design. I feel like there should be more active decision making for the player, though

i like the basic idea and the simple mechanic. it quickly feels very repetitive. But with more features, awesome . :)

Nice game, I really like the whole art style and the character customization was a really great addition to the game.

Lovely game, love the art and the idea to move your player around like this.

- The game is maybe too slow pace, had to wait for a while before a zombie spawn
- It would have been cool to have different bar like the life one : Hunger, sleep .. To have a bit of a chalenge

Overal nice game, with a bit of adjustement i can see myself playing it longer !

Very smooth feel to the game, nice. I wish there was a bit more action though! Took a while anything to happen, and it seemed like I had to go out to the yard for zombies to even start appearing. The character creation was nice touch, but I never got to see anything that used my entered username I think. I enjoyed dragging and dropping the character around and seeing what would happen. The music quickly becomes repetitive, but overall it has a ton of potential! Thanks for submitting this!

Your game has nice graphics and music choice works well. The pacing could be quicker with the zombie spawns though. Good work!

First character customization I have seen in this Ludum Dare! The only thing I would add is an indicator that you can clck and drag your character with the mouse. Overall a really great experience good luck.

Cute artstyle, but the pacing could be a tiny bit quicker. Takes forever before anything happens, which makes it boring and many people will click away. Turn up the zombies spawn rate and the amount of health pr. food to compensate. Also maybe having a day/night cycle, so you know when the zombies arrive. Allowing the player to plan for it.

Man it feels a bit like quarantine inside quarantine! I also find it a little slow, before things happen. The art style is quite effective, and the character creation customization is something not to overlook, too. Good job

i like the basic idea. Would love to pick a house, or maybe have stats, and try to keep them alive. great job tho

Cute! I liked the character customization and made a cat in a skirt named Meve :).

Pleasant graphics, although - in my opinion - the hard pencil lines on the characters do not go well with the soft style of the background. The game itself gets quite repetitive rather fast (not sure if it ever ends?) but it's a really great work for a short jam time!

Thank you all for positive feedback :)

I know the pace could be a little bit faster but I didnt have enoght time to ajust it properly.
The idea was that the game time also elapses at a real pace when you are offline, but when the game is running, the time goes faster, 1hour in the game takes 10seconds.

In our plans was also,: more rooms with diffrenet features, house customization, day and night cycle. Probably we will add it in the post jam update.

cool idea and lovely visuals. maybe adding some other features or speeding it up would be cool.

I was abit confused as to why the lounge was upstairs and the bedroom was downstairs? The art was sweet and it was nice you could name and create your own chracter at the beginning. I did'nt feel any pressure to do anything and disn't really see the bar decrease so was unsure on a goal, but enjoyed my time with it :)
