Super fun story line, and good gameplay. However, if you aren’t the best at games I wouldn’t download as it is a little hard to control.. ### 3/5 — This game is great *2026-01-17, version 1.0.37* It’s a little hard to control and stuff but other than that it’s great for beginners and hardcore gamers! (: ### 4/5 — Octodad: it’s so funny and lovely *2025-09-02, version 1.0.37* It’s so funny because when you try to grab stuff your arm is like it’s a balloon’s from the car dealership and it’s so beautiful because your family loves you no matter what you are but the chef thinks you’re trying to hurt people but you’re not you try to be normal and it doesn’t matter what you are you be you 😙😝 ### 3/5 — It made me cry *2025-08-28, version 1.0.37* The problem of this game is, I don’t know how to raise my hand to do things and then when I play the game I’m on this level, but I can’t even play the games because you’re too hard. They’re too hard because when I play, I can’t even raise my hand and the game I used to be easy. I don’t know how to raise my hand so it makes it money. I used the money to get this game and I can’t even raise my hand like I can’t play none of the games basketball or anything because it won’t let me raise my hand not even if I try I don’t know how to put it up or put it down. Never works for me and I had every single prize, but I couldn’t get one prize because I can’t raise my hand to do the basketball or the dropping thingy. That’s why I hate the game ### 5/5 — Yes *2025-07-05, version 1.0.37* I love this game so much,but could you add more shorts or smtn? ‘) ### 5/5 — Octodad: The Masterpiece *2025-06-25, version 1.0.37* Starting the game, we’re introduced to Father “Octodad” Octopus seeming very unprofessional on his wedding day. From the beginning, you see Octodad journey through the church, slipping on banana peels and trying not to knock down vases. This shows how Octodad tries to live his life, and he succeeds, but sometimes risks his happiness because of how hard it is to be an octopus. He found a woman named Scarlet who can give him purpose, so he marries her, but there is no best man that has the ring. This adds a mystery aspect on Octodad’s past. Was his family unsupportive of him wanting to make something of himself and escape the sea life, even if he struggles? Or did his family die due to fishermen? You never know, which adds an aspect of not knowing his personality, leaving it open ended for the player to decide why there may be no best man. He gets married and falls from the sky in his dream, and knocks down the credits, which works into his personality of looking down on himself, thinking he’s bringing everybody down. This is just the beginning mission of Young Horses’ magnum opus, so I highly recommend paying fifteen dollars. Fifteen dollars for an experience like no other. ### 5/5 — $5 worth it! *2025-05-14, version 1.0.37* It’s super fun with objectives to complete and it’s easy to learn the controls. It’s super funny with the movements of Octodad. One of the best $5 I’ve ever spent! ### 4/5 — It gets boring the more you play it and I’d suggest you make more *2025-02-12, version 1.0.37* I have an idea for the third! “Octodad: The Departing” ### 4/5 — There was a glitch *2024-12-28, version 1.0.37* So basically this was a great game I beat it once but my progress was wiped so idk but when I played it again I didn’t find the key where it was supposed to be so I tried to do last checkpoint level beginning checkpoint bla bla bla stuff like that but it was the same every single time ### 5/5 — Game *2024-12-04, version 1.0.37* I used this game growing up. Probably 6 years ago its was my favourite game along side with minecraft. But now i have to pay for the game which is what i did hve to do. ### 5/5 — The best *2024-11-30, version 1.0.37* It’s the best game because it’s wiggley and it’s fun ### 4/5 — Most nostalgic game ever *2024-11-29, version 1.0.37* Octodad is a great game. I’m not gonna lie and say it’s a masterpiece since it’s just nostalgia but it’s a surprisingly well structured story. The aquarium is a great place to spend most of the story, and the side missions are also great. The characters are funny, and the end is just amazing. 8.5/10 ### 5/5 — It’s the best🐙🐙🐙🐙 *2024-11-18, version 1.0.37* It’s the best game ever 🐙 ### 2/5 — Wyatt *2024-11-06, version 1.0.37* First I started it was great but I can’t move my screen please will you add something to teach you how to move the screen ### 5/5 — Amazing *2024-10-01, version 1.0.37* Truly anazing. ### 5/5 — ART *2024-09-16, version 1.0.37* IT IS ART.

My husband is an octopus, and I think you got the idea from me and my significant other. Which is funny, because I don’t think I have ever met a game developer in my entire 76 year old life. So, what I’m trying to say is, I love this game, but I would appreciate it if you stopped stalking me.
