This Father’s Day, let your dad be the hero for once, dodging chores, collecting socks and finally getting a cuppa. Skip the novelty BBQ apron. Turn your dad into a cartoon legend and watch him pretend he isn’t trying really hard to win.
Our pick: platformer with the Mother’s & Father’s Day theme. Your dad dodges chores and laundry piles, grabs tea and socks and flowers, and the game finishes with a group hug ending carrying your own message. Every line is pre-written and funny out of the box, and you can change any of it.
Idea 1
For when your dad deserves a full hero’s journey: coins, power-ups and a boss fight.

Idea 3
Chaotic, colourful and great for competitive types. Waves of baddies, then a boss who looks suspiciously familiar.

Cast Dad as the hero, the kids as cameos and the lawnmower as… well, it’s in his heart already.
