this game feels ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ otherworldly great if you have an hour to spare (and then buy the actual game because it's also great)

As a huge fan of Octodad: Dadliest Catch, this game is awesome. I love the drawn cutscenes, and I love seeing the original version of one of my favorite games of all time. If they remade this game in the Dadliest Catch engine I would happily pay for it. And now I finally know what the lyrics "Makin' a doll with a log and fruit" mean LMAO Highly Recommend.

There once was a ladybug. It was so small, it took a really long time to crawl from here to there. It was very tiring to fly for too long. Nobody squishes ladybugs because they're cute. Does that make them better than other bugs? Do ladybugs know they're cute? I think they're too preoccupied with bug things. And so, the ladybug crawled around and did bug things. This story wasn't really going...

incredibly fun to see where Dadliest Catch came from!! very silly and entertaining game that i absolutely adore - however, the controls are DEFINITELY less refined here than in DC - the movement feels wayyyyy more stiff and awkward. go into this game expecting the jank though and it's really fun!! would def recommend playing DC first, though, otherwise the jankiness might turn you away <333
