Fan-bloody-tastic! Great played as a two player co-op game, although my wife and I kept ending up divorced, although eventually she called me a magnificent beast. Splitting up has never been so much fun.

Wow that was so great!
I absolutely loved the setup and presentation. The audio was probably the best part.
The intro sequences are just gorgeous.

Honestly, I didn't make it through the restaurant. I tried but ended up getting divorced. This might be one of the very VERY few things I'd love to see improved: difficulty.

Great entry!

Really fun and quite funny! It's rather challenging, but super charming and I'd recommend it. I haven't beaten it yet, either!

I absoloutely love it! I played this with my mum and we got divorced fairly quickly. It's actually fun to knock over the furniture...

Great Entry! the intro scene and the audio really made me laugh. Controls are a bit washy and it was really hard to manage the first levels.

This game is awesome. Loved the dialogue and the idea. It also took me a while to beat the level without divorcing (GTA style :P).

Superb entry, great work!

I couldn't even beat the 1st level, maybe because I was laughing most of the time XD Great game! :D

Took me a while to figure out how the directions worked, but this was hilarious. Hope you do continue it!

I could get through the restaurant after my 86395592457th try and it wasn't that hard y'know :P I think difficulty is a problem and controls are another. Because I discovered later that you go top-left direction when you push up (I guess it was like that) I would expect to go up when I push up tbh. Good humor and fine graphics.

Oh, hello, my old arch-nemesis, so displeased to see you again... *said me to isometric view*
Really, I'm pretty sure large part of the difficulty in this game comes from the perspective; it took me a few really careful attempts.

Aside from that, it looks pretty interesting and humour is strong within this game... but difficulty. That difficulty. And, even more so, perspective. >.<

Bonus points for taking the theme to its hilariously literal extreme, though.

We played in coop with my girlfriend and didn't manage to save our mariage. We laughed and argued, that was really fun! One of my favorite in this LD. So many stars!

Nice game, but I've found the controls to be quite confusing.

I'm a magnificent beast! Loved this entry. To start with I think it was a bit too hard but when I discovered there was only one level I understood why you had made it that challenging.

Really frustrating controls playing solo, but table for one always feels pretty bad :(

Okay, that was stupidly fun. Always ended in divorce though. It's probably for the best. Love the clumsiness of the controls.

Octodad just with planets instead of an octopus? COUNT ME IN!
Really great work on the visuals, the dialogue and the controls. Even playing alone it's an unforgetable experience :)
I even forgive you the missing music, because of good sound effects.

This is the next Octodad! It's really cool to play and I laughed so hard. Well done! My favorite so far :)

Veri good idea, original and well made. It's very funny and i like your "staging" and the camera effects you used during the dialogs. Humor is too often limited to a written joke. First Ld game which make me laugh.

Loved it, but I'd have preferred if damaging things wasn't penalised - it's too tempting!

Too funny. Love the voices. Game a bit too hard. But still tried multiple times because I hoped there would be more voices. Alas. Good fun tho! :)

04. Sep 2014 · 21:28 UTC
Haha this was great. Loved the voices. It's very difficult but I almost made it! I think some awkward music would really tie it all together. Good job!

We had so much trouble, but we did it!

Erm... I destroyed the restaurant and got divorced almost immediately. It was hilarious and please tell me what kind of drugs are you on.

Super fun concept! Usualy I don't like when people interpret the theme too literaly, but in your case its so literal it's hilarious!
The game was really short, but since it was also really hard it made up for having only a single level.

13. Sep 2014 · 07:48 UTC
Wonderful! This was fun, and hilarious intro sequence and premise. Would be nice if when we failed, letting the user wreck the restaurant out of frustration instead of forcing an immediate restart. But I was happy to get to the end with a strategy of going full speed and using certain tables as bumpers. Great fun!

Love the humour and the narration ! The QWOP-like (or octodad-like) is not my style, but very cool game !
