About the Game

  • Beat 'em up brawler as the core mechanic. You can learn a new move by smacking each enemy type accordingly.

  • Silly and funny Traps: Baked fish missile, Toothpaste turret, Watermelon bazooka... and much more! 15 types of gadgets are ready to be unlocked by you!

  • Break neighbors' houses to collect resources. Use them to set traps or build a new room.

  • You can have Susumu make power-up items for you. But be careful! When he's goofing off, give him some loving punishment.

Encounter quirky bosses!

Besides defending your house, you need to counter various bosses coming this way. Don't be fooled by their strange appearance. It's their tactics!

  • Young jobless guy who is avoiding social interactions and shutting himself inside his room all day.

  • In Japan, people like him are called Hikikomori(shut-in), which has become a big social problem.

  • Enemies are trying to reach out to Susumu because they are worried about him, or want to mock him, or just want to see a hikikomori firsthand...

  • When enemies reach Susumu, the game is over. I cannot explain what exactly will happen there, but I can relate to Susumu so badly because I'm also a Hikikomori. I'm making this game solo just trying to reflect my own situation with this game...
