The humor was spot on, the art style distinctive, and the gameplay is polished. An excellent entry!

I like it! It's very dynamic and art is cool. I didn't expect that change of gameplay at the end :)

Very nice game! Takes me back to the days when I had to pick my dad up from work early because I forgot to put a note in his lunchbox.

Submitted

Very interesting game play!

Great game! The story is wholesome. Love to see a father and son doing something like this together.

Love the art style and humor, fun theme! Kept stuck on the TV the hit box on the hat seems really big. Pushing the items was a little unintuitive, but I like the rush you get from trying to complete the tasks while managing the dad!

Submitted

Feels like Overcooked with dad 🤣. The game is not completely obvious. It was hard to orientate at the beginning how to play. Also, the problem with pushing items is that they can get stuck. My game got soft-locked bc the key got stuck at the bottom. In rest, solid entry from you guys.

This game was creative and funny, artstyle was super consistent. Could have used some more sound effects. Good job to both of you.

Nice game! The objects were a pain to move - though I suspect that was intentional!

Submitted

Cool concept, I also like the father-son team dynamic 😄
Very creative, good job!

A very cute game! I like the premise and the art of the game. I did find it a bit frustrating trying to interact with some of the objects in the  game but I guess that adds to the feel of the game :) Nice work!

OMG, I'm laughing out loud here. What a messy dad, just like mine. Your idea is so creative, I didn't expect to laugh this much, and I didn't see that allergic newspaper coming, hahaha. And it was so challenging, I was impressed with the difficulty level. I wasn't expecting that, especially not a sneaky second level. I had a great time playing this game, thank you. As for the jam's theme, I'm not sure if you hit the mark completely. I played as a character who was supposed to help the dad at all times. I was hoping that at some point, the roles would be reversed, and maybe I could play as the dad to help the son. I'm not sure if it would be an interesting idea, but it would have fit the theme better. Just an observation, though. It didn't make the game worse. I hope you continue developing fun games like this; you have potential.

Most realistic game I've played all year. just all around great.

Submitted

Super adorable and fun :) My only issue is that some of the things dad does in the kitchen don't give you enough time to get to them if you just happen to be far away, which feels a little unfair. Also the guy in the maze can see through walls (maybe he's just magic like that).

That was a harrowing adventure I was not expecting. I barely escaped with my (and my dad's) life.  I appreciated the way you set up dramatic stakes for the different challenges, it was a fun detail! One tip I have is to consider making all of your pixel art assets use the same scale for a more consistent look.

Cute!
