About

Small freeware game Octodad has found a lot of popularity as a simple comedic demo of a game engine and the controls over the octopus, successfully trying to pretend to be a human. Octodad: Dadliest Catch is a direct and full-fledged sequel to the game, telling a story of a smart and resourceful octopus. We follow Octodad on his day to day activities, until the day when his past caught up to him, and now he has to save his family from the man that knows his secret identity. The cook by the name Fujimoto kidnaps the Family of Octodad, and now the player will have to find their way to save them.
The game control scheme is notorious among the fans because players have to control one of two sets of tentacles as arms and legs, switching between the two with a press of a button. All that, while trying to perform simple or complicated tasks, like finding things or picking up objects. The game is divided into several levels, each with a list of objectives.

Octodad: Dadliest Catch reviews and comments

Who'd have thought a game about a perfectly normal dad could be so much fun.
7/10 - Cute

Octodad is an independent game without pretense other than offering us a funny and totally stagnating adventure: incarnate an Octopus, when in addition (almost) everyone sees only fire, is not an experience of the most usual! The grip is done in a good ten minutes, due to deliberately unintuitive controls (easier to the controller). This difficulty can also be strengthened by sharing the control of the character with one, two or even three other friends (local). The graphics, pleasant without being revolutionary, serve the purpose perfectly. The lifespan is relatively short (2H in a straight line) but it is largely lengthened by the challenges offered by the successes, the objects to collect (ties), the levels of the workshop and possibly the speedrunning (to which this game lends itself to with the presence of a stopwatch integrated at each level). For single point weakness, we may occasionally notice some camera/control problems (especially to put a bow tie or a hat), without any major impact on the fun of playing. This game is therefore a funny experience, and especially unique, which is really worth to be bought (especially on promo)! N.B.: all the dialogues of the game are in VOSTFR (no VF). N.B. 2: a sequel!

Playing this is mega fun. It's a little hard to control. But it is also the meaning. Kb it whether it looks fun or boring.

The app is crashing everytime i try to start the game. Im using an iPhone C with iOS 12. It is a waste of money if you dont fix whats causing the problem

So in itself, as on the PC, a good and funny game principle, the challenge of the control is just the attraction of the game. However, just 10 min of playtime draws 20% battery. And that in flight and power saving mode. Please work on the optimization!

The controls for the feet are quite complex but we get there with time but to control the tentacles it's hard! For example when he has an object in the tentacles it is very hard to put a precise place! For example to hang the birdhouse I had to spend days and days because the tentacle does not rise up! So I hope there will be an Mj on this problem and if not put aside that the game is in itself very funny and funny! Sincerely, a player.
