Our take on Paddle Paddle Paddle
Instead of using a conventional racing or platforming movement system, the game makes paddling the central challenge. Solo play divides attention between both sides of the boat, while multiplayer divides that task between participants.
What is Paddle Paddle Paddle?
Paddle Paddle Paddle is a physics-based boat adventure for solo play or local and online co-op.
Solo players control both paddles, while co-op players each control one. The game features one giant handcrafted level surrounded by lava, with swinging axes, unusual wind, steep slopes, difficult jumps, and different biomes. Checkpoints can be toggled in Settings, and controls can be changed through input rebinding. A Speedrun Timer is included for players who want to time their runs. The course leads toward a mysterious prize, though reaching it requires repeated attempts through the hazards. The game was made entirely by one developer in under a month.
