Game Description: GMF is a single player game where you control a father in charge of making the maddest, most delicious BBQ Cookout.
The character models are beautiful 32-bit models, a throwback to the Super Nintendo era. The father has a customizable mustache, hair style and apron. The area where most of the gameplay happens, is the backyard where the grill, cooler, picnic table and pool are located. The camera is placed on a top view style.
The core part of the gameplay consists of making sure to properly cook the different kinds of meats in the grill; be it beef, ribs, chicken, burgers or even roasted vegetables. Since the father must make sure the cookout is a complete success, you also must make sure to deliver the food to the table on time, keep the father refreshed with cold beer and making sure the kids are behaving in the pool.
The controls are very simple, Arrow Keys, D-Pad and Joystick for movement ( The arcade Joystick is shaped like a Spatula), A button is the action button in PC and GBA while the green button is the action button in the arcade box, the S button is the cancel button on PC, the B button is the cancel button on GBA and the Red button is the cancel button on the arcade box.
The game levels get harder with everyone the player clears, every 5 levels there is a checkpoint and a reward, the reward cap ends at level 100 making a total of 20 different obtainable rewards.
