    I'm sure my iPhone has enough space.
    and then I called AppleCare and they recommended to update to 9.1 so I'm doing it

    in fact I don't want to do it because of compatibility

    So what is this game? Any mission or levels or any point to the game? Is the point t just be random like goat sim, go around and destroy shit and find Easter eggs?

    Just trying to figure out if I should be intrigued or not

    No, it is level based and most of the levels have specific, difficult-ish, tasks to complete.

    Yay!! Download complete!

    Ha ha, if you like the looks of gameplay videos etc, I'd say pick this up. If you're looking for a game with lightning quick action this ain't it.

    This is one of my all-time favorite indie games. If you're a fan of physics based fun and trial & error, this game represents, and does so with hilarious aplomb. For me the controls work very well, better than I imagined they would on touchscreen. As I've previously mentioned, they weren't simple on a physical control setup. But therein lies the trial and the error part.

    To accommodate, being we aren't all apt when it comes to controlling a virtual cephalopod, Young Horses have created a game that isn't too concerned with "punishing" you for misadventures.

    Also, as I've previously mentioned, this game which is fully intact here, is fifteen bucks on console only a five-spot here. Great deal, and visually I think it looks slightly better on my iPhone 6 than it did on my Vitas OLED display.

    This seems like a game I would enjoy, but it's not working for me. It starts up okay, but on the menu screen, it is zoomed in and half the screen is cut off. I bought it when it was accidentally released early, and I'm using ios 8.0.2 on an iphone 6. Has anyone else tried it on ios 8 or had similar problems?

    Have you tried reinstalling it? Maybe this was some bug caught yesterday and the reason it was pulled.
    I'm on iOS 9.1 and iPhone 6, the game is running flawlessly.

    Hi,

    That was an issue on iOS 7 with starting on different orientations on ipad (we dont support iOS 7 btw), can you update your iOS to 8.3 or 9? We only tested on 7, 8.3+, and 9+, there may be an issue with 8.0 that was similar to iOS 7.

    Holy shit! Just fired up my MOGA Rebel, I had no idea Octodad also has full CONTROLLER SUPPORT!

    Welcome devonsoft, great to have devs join the conversation ;)

    Hi! :)

    Yeah let me know if the MOGA has any issues, the test one we have has a broken right analog stick I think so I can't move the arm up or down (and it had the same behavior in other apps), but our steel series worked fine so I just assumed the MOGA was broken.

    Flawless up/down arm movement on the Rebel! Works great. I am, however, more than satisfied with how you guys implemented touch controls. I'll probably use both, depending on what mood strikes me :D Btw, happy to have double dipped on this one (PSN) $5 is an absolute steal.

    It's true, basically the level of visual quality goes: 4s/ipad 2/vita, android/iPhone 5, and then 5S and above on iOS have full lighting and medium resolution shadows but vita simplified physics objects. Wii U has more physics objects and higher resolution textures but worse lighting than 5S+ iOS, NVidia Shield tablet/tv have same level of physics objects/lighting as console/pc version.

    I'll pick this up on Wii U as well. Love that system so having it there is a no-brainier. I think you guys are gonna fare pretty well on the AppStore, tons of iOS gamers will simply love that this is the complete package, great graphics, fun gameplay, unique theme and quirky storyline. This is obviously my GOTW! Im in a physics induced coma at this point ;)

    I know part of the game is wonky controls but I think the controls implemented on the touch screen are great and they work flawless of course controlling dad is much more difficult :)
    Fun game and my kids are loving it too. I have a 5 year old that loves goat sim so I showed her this one and she's really liking it.

    Great story and pretty fun up until the mission Get to the Top at the aquarium. I'd have to say the touch controls are broken at this point. I spent about 45m working on this and still haven't passed halfway up, and if I ever do make it to the top I don't see myself playing through the game again knowing this road block is there.

    I was walking fine throughout the game climbing and making turns great, then you get here and the controls lock up and alternating legs doesn't register as well, and also swiping/2 finger tap to switch between leg and arm mode no longer worked either. I had to keep pressing the on screen button to switch. I'm sure I'm missing something so I'll try it another time.

    Edit: I quit the app, cleared it from multitasking then tried the level again and all the controls were back to normal. Beat it in about 2 minutes. Looks like this is a bug, I played for about an hour from the beginning of the aquarium to the Get to the Top mission and the controls lock up, so maybe it's bugging out for some reason with extended play time.

    iPhone 6+ iOS 9.1 non jailbroken

    Sounds like a touch release event may have been missed and isn't clearing out when it should. Thanks for the report!

    I'm having issues downloading this game. Just bought it and tried downloading it but nothing.. Other apps download just fine.. Rebooted my device and still the same issue.. Anybody else experiencing this? :(

    Edit: ok so I downloaded block fortress just fine but other games aren't downloading either... App Store is just acting weird apparently
