Home Alone?

THE GAME: What if a kid realizes been left alone at home, only with her imagination? In this game you control the fearless Diana who must defend your home using your toys. Can you prove yourself running and fighting through the house's floors? THE IDEA: What home means to us? For this Global Game Jam, our team tried to think in the past when we were children and when we were left alone in our houses. With that on mind, we started to think about a game where a kid is left alone and her most powerful weapon is her imagination. We got inspired by Home Alone movies, Toy Story and Paper Mario.

DISCLAIMER!

During the jam time, the house where we were jamming was ALIVE. The lights started to blink, the power went off several times, the no break burned and the air conditioner tried to kill us slowly during the weekend. That was amazing, are we living a metagame right now? Thank you for that, Universe.
