Overview

Last House Standing is a 2D pixel-art action-defense game from indie developer Wired Pixels, released on October 24, 2026. You play as Dr.

Ferrán, a scientist on the verge of a cure, but the lab's generators are loud—and the noise attracts the undead. Your task is simple: keep them out of the house.

Armed initially with nothing but your cursor, you sweep across the field to hit everything in your path. It's enough for a few waves, but soon you'll need more than a mouse swipe to survive.

Highlights

  • Cursor-Based Combat: The core mechanic is unique—your mouse cursor is your weapon. Sweep it over zombies to damage them, and upgrade its power as you progress.
  • Roguelite Progression: Every zombie drops coins, and you keep them even when the house falls. Between runs, spend coins on an upgrade tree with 40+ nodes, including survivors shooting from sandbags, barbed wire, bear traps, mines, barricades, a roof mortar, and supply crates dropped by parachute.
  • No Set Path: The upgrade tree is open-ended. Go all-in on cursor power, fill the field with traps, or mix strategies—the choice is yours.

Who It's For

If you enjoy incremental games, tower-defense hybrids, or pixel-art action titles with a roguelite twist, Last House Standing will likely scratch that itch. The mouse-only control scheme makes it accessible, while the deep upgrade tree offers plenty of replayability.

It's a single-player experience with Steam Achievements and custom volume controls, and it supports a wide range of languages including Japanese, English, Simplified Chinese, and more.
