Octodad: Dadliest Catch in IOS

Father. Husband. Octopus.

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Expert Score

92/100

Octodad: Dadliest Catch is one of the most hilariously frustrating and charming experiences I've ever had on mobile. The premise is gold: you’re an octopus pretending to be a human father, and your biggest enemy isn't a villain—it's your own flailing limbs. Trying to perform mundane tasks like pouring milk or getting married becomes a slapstick comedy routine that genuinely makes me laugh out loud.

The touch controls actually add a layer of delightful chaos that fits the game perfectly. It’s a short, sweet journey that tells a surprisingly touching story about belonging and family, all while you're accidentally destroying a grocery store. If you want something that doesn't take itself seriously but offers a unique mechanical challenge, this is it.

Fix for checkpoint saving hitch that affected speed running.
