Abstract

My Dad Can Beat Up Your Dad is based on the classic childhood playground debate over who has the strongest dad, taking the form of a comedic video game. Users collect cards representing different kinds of dads and items to enhance their deck and defeat encounters with enemies in this deckbuilder roguelike experience. The game was developed in the Unity game engine using the C# language for a seamless single-player experience. The concept was inspired by other games in the genre, but sets itself apart with its unique position-based combat system and use of action points (represented as Beer Points). Players utilize a world map detailing the different levels ahead, with the options to battle enemies for rewards, shop for new cards, or wager cards to receive buffs or debuffs to their existing cards, all in preparation for a dad-alicious boss fight at the end. How strong is your dad?
