Paddle Paddle Paddle

Paddle through pain. Solo or co-op. One paddle each. Lava everywhere. You’ll fall. You’ll scream. You might cry. Good luck and embrace the salt.

Evaluation

Paddle Paddle Paddle launched on July 25, 2025 and has been actively supported since. The game received a continuous stream of post-launch patches and quality-of-life updates throughout mid-to-late 2025, followed by two significant content drops: a racing gamemode added via free update in November 2025, and the first paid DLC "Up Up Up" launching on February 19, 2026 with a vertical map and new mechanics. On December 8, 2025, the solo developer published a 2026 content roadmap explicitly announcing console ports, a mobile version, new race mode maps, a level editor, and a brand-new map — stating "We're going crazy in 2026." The February 2026 DLC was the first item delivered from that roadmap. As of today (June 18, 2026), the remaining announced items have not yet shipped. The most recent developer communication was on June 9, 2026 — just nine days ago — where the developer reflected on the game's one-year anniversary since the demo launch and expressed continued investment in the project. This confirms the developer is still actively engaged. There is meaningful content from the December 2025 roadmap still outstanding, and all signs point to continued development.

About this game

A brutally frustrating co-op boat adventure you probably won’t survive. But hey—at least you’ll look ridiculous trying.

Grab your paddles (and your patience) and set out on a stupidly long, lava-surrounded parkour adventure. In Paddle Paddle Paddle, you and/or a deeply regretting friend must paddle your way through swinging axes, weird wind, evil slopes, and that one jump you’ll miss at least 27 times in a row ... maybe more.

At the end of the journey? A legendary, mysterious, possibly pointless prize awaits. Maybe. If you ever get there. Probably not.


This game will test your coordination, your sanity, and your friendships. You can either:

  • Play solo and control both paddles like some kind of multitasking god

  • Or play in local/online co-op, where each of you controls a paddle. Coordination is key. So is not yelling. Too much.

  • Physics-based paddling like in real life (sort of. not really.)

  • High Frustration™ factor (rage-quitting is a feature, not a bug)

  • Local & Online Co-op — destroy friendships from anywhere!

  • Speedrun Timer — for those who hate themselves

  • One giant handcrafted level with wacky biomes and checkpoint options (toggle them in Settings!)

  • Input Rebinding — because your keyboard will suffer

  • Settings with mercy — toggle checkpoints, fix controls, or just cry a little

Hi! I’m Mateo — I’m 22 and I made this game entirely solo. The idea came to me in the shower (where all great ideas are born), and I decided to smash together physics-based paddling with a rage-inducing platformer. The whole project was a wild experiment made in under a month.

I hope you have some fun with it... and just the right amount of screaming.
