DAD BEAT DADS is a local multiplayer battler, packed with platform jumping, daddy punching, and simulated baby throwing. Fight it out for Father Supremacy across three different game modes, in multiple themed arenas. Who will emerge as the World's Greatest Dad?

Up to 4 players can take part in this dad on dad mayhem. Play solo, in teams, or against bots.

To play in teams, simply select the same team colour during player setup.

To play against bots, press on during player setup to add or remove bots. Bots can only play solo within a team.

The goal is to capture other babies while protecting your own. Punch other papas to knock their baby off their back, then grab their child and carry him, along with your own baby, back to your door to score a point. Remember, you need both babies to successfully score. If your baby is captured, you lose a point.

During team play, the babies can be carried by separate dads. Both dads just need to be at the door at the same time.

It's a simple game of dodge ball. Pick up the diaper brick and throw it at other dads to knock them out. Once a dad is knocked out, he's eliminated until the next round. The last man standing wins the point. Be careful though, if the round runs too long, additional diaper bricks will drop, increasing the mayhem until someone wins.

It's a game of collecting riches, while fending off other dads and trying to keep up as the world slowly sinks around you. Stop other dads by knocking them off platforms, or punching their coins right out of them. Watch out for various hazards that can get in your way as you make your way up. The dad with the most coins at the end of the round wins.

Additional Details

When you are holding two things at once, you won't be able to punch. You must throw away the item you are carrying in front before you can punch again.

Holding the down direction and pressing jump while standing on a one way platform will allow you to drop down. You can also hold the down direction while falling towards a one way platform to drop through the platform without stopping.
