Backyard

Backyard is a stage in Fraymakers hailing from that serves as a home stage for .
== Layout ==
Backyard consists of a large grassy platform with walls stretching far downward. With hazards turned on, the left and right sides of this platform are blocked by fences, which serve as walls. These fences can be damaged when hit with an attack or an opponent being launched by an attack and are destroyed after taking enough damage, after which they eventually reappear. Additionally, objects periodically appear on the stage for a short time and can be knocked around when attacked, damaging opponents they hit. The launch trajectory of these objects depends on the knockback angle of the attack used to launch them, and attacks of higher knockback cause them to launch farther and deal more damage and knockback. The following objects may appear:
*A basketball, which has low weight, has low friction when landing, deals moderate damage, and bounces off of opponents and surfaces.
*A soccer ball, which has low weight, has moderate friction when landing, deals moderate damage, and bounces off of opponents and surfaces.
*A baseball, which has low weight, has high friction when landing, deals the lowest damage of the available objects, and bounces off of opponents and surfaces.
*A barbecue grill, which high weight, has high friction when landing, deals high damage, and travels through opponents hit.
*A garden gnome, which travels high when launched, deals the highest damage of the available objects, and breaks on contact with an opponent or surface.
With hazards turned off, the fence walls and objects do not appear, making Backyard a flat and featureless stage.
== Music ==
*The music track arranged by Super Soul Bros. is Octodad Medley, an orchestral jazz medley consisting of the title theme, Title Screen, and main theme, Octodad (Nobody Suspects a Thing), from Octodad: Dadliest Catch, as well as the title theme of the original Octodad.
*The music track arranged by OverClocked ReMix is Lawnmower Attack, an electronic cover of the theme that plays when Chef Fujimoto attacks Octodad with a lawnmower during the "Home, Sweet Home" level of Octodad: Dadliest Catch.
== Origin ==
Backyard is based on Octodad's backyard, which appears in Octodad: Dadliest Catch. It is completely fenced in and contains a lawn, a patio, a playground, a tree, a flower garden, and a shed filled with various kinds of sports balls. In the level "Home, Sweet Home", Octodad enters the backyard to perform chores while being monitored by his family, including mowing the lawn, pulling weeds from the garden, chopping firewood, grilling and serving hamburgers, and hanging up a fallen birdhouse. Afterwards, Chef Fujimoto breaks through the fence with a lawnmower and attempts to suck Octodad into it but fails after Octodad knocks two garden gnomes into it.
The stage in Fraymakers features several sections of the backyard in the background related to the chores that Octodad performs. The use of the sports balls, barbecue grill, and garden gnome as hazards may be a reference to the complex way objects are interacted with in the Octodad games due to Octodad's slippery physics. The fences breaking may be a reference to how Chef Fujimoto breaks through the fence in Octodad: Dadliest Catch. The cloudy background is based on the opening credits of Octodad: Dadliest Catch, in which Octodad falls from the sky through the names of staff members.
== Trivia ==
*Backyard, along with Stratostar and Merchant Port, was one of the three stages shown for the game's reveal through Kickstarter and one of the five stages initially planned for the base game.
