Yes, if you have four DualShock 4 controllers, you and three friends can each take control of one of Octodad's limbs - and if you thought you were having trouble co-ordinating yourself before, you try getting an octopus around a supermarket with all four limbs trying to move in separate directions. Not content with creating the oddest control scheme known to man, the team at Young Horses have made it better in the only way you could ever really improve on a game like Octodad - by adding multiplayer. It's genuinely laugh out loud stuff - and a game the Playstation 4's Share button was designed for, as you'll be sharing so many clips, your friends will be sick of you.Īnd the chaos only gets worse. Even when you're trying to be careful, his limbs seem to have a mind of their own, as you'll fling a bottle of tomato sauce into the stratosphere, before accidentally wrapping your arm (tentacle?) around your child's throat, when all you were trying to do was put some sauce on his burger. Flopping and wobbling all over the place, Octodad is about as steady as a jelly in an earthquake, and it's impossible to stop him careering off course, or looking like he's slowly deflating into the nearest freezer. Sounds simple enough, but what you end up with is sheer hilarity. When you're not holding L2 or R2, the left and right sticks let you control Octodad's arm (singular), while L1 lets you grab onto things, if you need to pick something up. It's not as simple as just pushing the stick and watching Octodad slither his way to where you tell him - instead, you have full control over Octodad's limbs, even if sometimes you wish you hadn't. The L2 and R2 buttons are used to lift each of Octodad's legs, with the thumbsticks used to move them around. All simple enough, you'd think - but remember, this is an octopus we're talking about - and that makes this slapstick at its finest.Įverything here has been designed to cause chaos - from the banana peels that seem to litter the entire land (from wedding aisle to the fruit and veg counter at the shops), to the barmy controls, that seem to have been designed to be as manic as possible. The first level takes place at the wedding, where you have to guide your cephalopod friend down the aisle the next sees you flipping burgers and mowing the lawn (!?) and the the next has you doing the weekly shop in a supermarket. In fact, he can barely even stand up straight for any prolonged periods of time without flopping about all over the place - and so, your challenge is to get things done, as normally as he humanly octopusly can, without arousing suspicion.Įach level in the game follows a fairly normal, everyday scenario. And that means he doesn't have any bones. With a wife and kids (although who knows where they came from) to look after, while other games have bombastic storylines about saving the world, all Octodad has to do is go about his day to day family life. The titular Octodad is an everyday, common or seabed octopus, pretending to be a person.
