Enjoy Playing Dad N' Me

Tom Fulp and Dan Paladin launched a fast beat ’em up in July 2005 on Newgrounds. Players take charge of a small purple kid abandoned by his dad. He charges down neighborhood streets and trades punches with other children. Each rumble feels loose and vivid thanks to thick outlines and bold colors.

Controls use arrow keys for movement and two buttons for hard or soft strikes. Gamers link hits into combos. They grab propane tanks and swing them like clubs. A special rage mode kicks in and boosts every hit. The goal stays clear. Defeat all foes and push through tougher stages.

The title earned praise for sharp art and lively combat. It blends goofy humor with rapid fights. Flash fans still pick it for a quick brawl. That rush still hits longtime players.
