### 4/5 — Así Así

*2025-12-23, version 1.0.37*

So it’s very fun/funny love playing it. But TBH it’s kinda boring so it needs updates and more episodes please 
Hope you can think about this 
Kind regards 
Merry crimbo

### 1/5 — Boring needs updates kind of fun hard to control

*2025-12-02, version 1.0.37*

This really needs updates on the controlling because on this level where there’s this evil chef, yeah you got it that’s right the evil chef when I control it when the evil chef is trying to get me all the controlling does is run on the table run on the table run on the table then I swipe and then hand mode leg mode, hand mode, leg mode, hand mode leg mode and then all the controlling does is make me get caught or fall on the fire. And also thanks for the bad controlling game😤🤬 and also it’s super boring😪😴

### 5/5 — Extremely fun highly recommend

*2025-11-23, version 1.0.37*

Brilliant game 10/10 100% Cannot recommend enough but I completed it in three days (I wish there was more!)

### 5/5 — This game is AWESOME!

*2025-11-10*

This is one of THE BEST games, however I wish there was more things to do in the game. Maybe Octodad 2? There can be a new baby when Octodad has to take care of it while avoiding the evil chef, and not disturbing the baby. If you disturb it, it starts crying, and people start getting suspicious of you. You have to calm it down as soon as possible, but if you did NOT disturb it and it cries, you have to see what it needs. Then they go on a road trip, and what not then obviously, you (devs) decide the storyline. Thanks! Great game, 10/10, would ABSOLUTELY recommend.

### 3/5 — Ish.

*2025-09-27, version 1.0.37*

Well, it’s kind of good but, the controls are way too hard. Just like the levels, I had to skip three because they were too hard. And I don’t know how you expect us to climb up a ladder with those controls, maybe make an easy way to move.

### 5/5 — More shorts ideas?

*2025-09-23, version 1.0.37*

Love this game it never gets old, I especially love the shorts, i have some ideas for more I’d like to share with you, maybe you could do a short about octodad getting job(s), or do one about him starring in a movie! Anyway, these are just some of my ideas, if you choose not to use them that’s okay, but please add more shorts to this game!

### 5/5 — amazing

*2025-09-07, version 1.0.37*

### 3/5 — It’s a generally good game, but……..

*2025-06-27, version 1.0.37*

Look it’s a good game. It has good art styles. It has good mechanics but what I don’t understand is I also played the original and it’s pretty much the same. I mean I haven’t done the whole game yet but it’s just like the same. There’s nothing more to say.

### 3/5 — Ok never Again that is hard

*2025-06-22, version 1.0.37*

It took me rageing moments to complete that
