Dad ‘n Me

Dad ‘n Me is a side-scrolling fighting game featuring a purple creature that is dropped off by his dad at a park. In a single level, he needs to beat up all the other kids in the park (including ninjas, basketball and football players, and gangster kids), apparently to prove his worth. The graphics are hand drawn by Dan Paladin and are reminiscent of the art style in games such as Alien Hominid and Castle Crashers.

The keyboard is used to move around along with two keys for light or heavy attacks. These can be combined to create combos, hold and throw enemies, rush and jump, and pick up items such as barrels or lawnmowers to take out opponents. The life meter can be replenished with health kits, the game keeps track of the combo rate and when the rage meter is completely full movement becomes faster and the attacks more fierce.
