WOW I had a lot of fun with this one. It's like the love child of Mount Your Friends, I Am Bread, and Octodad. However, they learned the lesson from the others that frustrating controls isn't fun, while the chaos and silliness off your character flopping around is a LOT of fun. It's not easy, oh no, but it doesn't have the horrible difficulty of those others. I'm early in still, but excited to keep going! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYoepbJm3vk

A solid game with active devs! Do you like fun? If yes, buy this game. Don't even question buying this game! Try it out for yourself!
Like Cats? Like Ghosts? Like Saints Row? Like James Bond? Like ToonTown?? This game is for you. I have not bought a steam game in over 2 years at full price. But I had a feeling using my mom's credit card would bring me 0~Good Times~0 for years. I was right. Hold on I can't write long I'm grounded. GROUNDED TO HAVING FUN.
+ fun gameplay with decent controls + fairly reliable physics interactions are simple yet rewarding + new mechanics introduced throughout story keep it from getting stale + diverse levels with interesting design in several places + somewhat challenging but with very little chance of failure + many checkpoints to keep you steadily progressing - quite short - poor performance overall with good fps in minimal areas but greatly reduced in busier areas along with hitching - dialog and story are rather poor. manages to be a little funny at times while not at all serious about itself, but it's not at all creative - gameplay is often tedious or dragged out, with long periods of unchallenging tasks like long travel with a slow speed - the pacing is really, really bad. in-game cutscenes are slow to transition and become very awkward as you are waiting unable to skip - general low level of effort/detail from areas of minimal repeated textures, to obvious and simple dialog, to sound I'd like to r...
Good game for fans of simulator games like Octodad or I am Bread. Unskippable cutscenes were a bit annoying when I was replaying the game for the last achievements.
I'm enjoying this game a lot. The mechanics work well, and I haven't experienced any game breaking bugs or other issues. It takes some time to get used to the controls but you get a rythem going fairly quickly. The story line is hilarious and it has interesting and unique characters. The game isn't the greatest thing ever but for what it is it's an excellant game (if that makes sense). Highly recommend.
yes
After 10 minutes of playing I feared this would be another disappointment like I Am Bread. As nice as the wackiness is, there needs to be some kind of reward for actually putting up with it. But there is! Deputy Dangle has great, imaginative levels. Think of something like Psychonauts. Overall, the sheer sense of curiosity for what the devs came up next makes it worth playing through until the end. On the con side, very cheaply made (looks suspiciously like "My first Unity game"), bad performance in places, and some stages frag on little bit too long.
What is Deputy Dangle? Genre: Third Person limb utilisation action-adventure/simulation Setting: Clumsy Cop (--> Deputy Dangle) saving his city from crime committed by an old lady ("G'MA") Difficulty: 2/10 - 10/10 - thanks to controls Length: 2-4 hours for a campaign walkthrough, additional number of hours to get all achievements Mode: singleplayer campaign, trials section (short mini games) Similar games: Octodad, I am Bread What's good about Deputy Dangle? - funny setting - varying tasks The negative aspects: - severe frame rate drops, even on powerful computers - short campaign - horrible controls. Though some players say they are easier to master than those of [i]Octodad[/i] or [i]I am Bread[/i], controls aren't fun in this game either. "Walking" most of the time results in strong button mashing, climbing objects Dangle just falls down or gets helplessly stuck (trash container) Result (and summary for those who have no time reading): Deputy Dangle generally has some pot...
Got it for basically nothing and would have been well worth the full price. Amazing game and would recommend to a friend.
