Notice:

Due to some network upload issues, I unfortunately missed the final deadline for submitting my game to PixelGameJam 2025.

But you can still try my game at this address: https://yunfan.itch.io/the-walking-dog-demo

This is my very first time participating in a game jam as a solo developer. I poured my heart and soul into this project, and I truly hope you will enjoy playing it.

If you are willing to rate my game and leave any feedback or suggestions, I would be incredibly grateful. Your support means a lot to me!

Thank you so much!

Story / Background

A sudden zombie outbreak has left the city in ruins. For the mental health of pets, the government requires all dogs to be walked every day—even during the apocalypse! Special PoopZones and PeeZones have been set up to avoid making things worse.

You are a survivor whose leg was injured while searching for supplies. Now, you must use a flashlight to remotely guide your dog through the ruined streets, helping it find places to relieve itself and collect vital resources for you both.

How to Play

Use Arrow keys or WASD to move the flashlight. The dog will follow the light.

Guide the dog to PoopZone/PeeZone to poop or pee and fill up Satisfaction.

When Satisfaction is full, press R to go home.

Lead your dog to collect survival supplies, or you will die!

Pick up a PoopPad, press E to place it, and press E again to poop.

Pick up batteries to refill your flashlight. No battery = game over.

Super Dog Food lets your dog knock back zombies for a short time.

Avoid zombies! If they catch your dog, it’s game over.
