About the Game

Welcome, dad bod enthusiasts; It's time for the most anticipated event of your local neighborhood! STUDS is a 3D multiplayer party game where up to 4 players compete in a series of 'dadly' events to be crowned the Ultimate Dad. Test your Dad-like Reflexes as you race baby strollers down the street, or be the first to gather all the items on the hardware store shopping list.

MULTIPLAYER MADNESS

REMOTE PLAY TOGETHER

  • Invite up to 3 friends to play online with Steam's Remote Play Together feature.

LOCAL MULTIPLAYER

  • Connect up to 4 controllers to play split-screen multiplayer, or play against AI.

ONLINE MULTIPLAYER

  • Host and join online lobbies with other dads on PC.

MINIGAMES

Choose between four unique game modes:

BABY STROLLER RACE

  • Be the first dad to cross the finish line with their stroller as you race through your neighborhood. Nimbly avoid obstacles while sabotaging other players, either by throwing your stroller or by using player-activated obstacles to help close the gap between dads on the track​.

THE DAD DEPOT

  • Gather the required items and bring them to the register before the other dads steal them​. The store's aisles are randomized and explosive propane tanks are scattered around, so even experienced dads will have to put their dad reflexes to the test.

PENNY PINCHER

  • It's dads versus kids in a battle for control of the house's appliances. Dads attempt to catch the mischievous kids and put them in timeout while turning off appliances to reduce the total cost of the bill. As kids, escape the dads in the house while you turn on appliances and cause the monthly utility bill to skyrocket.

THE DODGEFATHER

  • Dads must dodge obstacles and knock out other dads in a dodgeball showdown.

Super Totally Ultimate Dad Showdown was created by a small team of students as their senior year capstone project.
