Developer Mateo Covic, who went viral for complaining that thousands of people had refunded his game after finishing it in less than two hours, says he's not actually unhappy about the number of refunds or money he lost, or even Steam's policy in general—he was merely expressing frustration with players who "bragged about having a fun time with the game and refunding it after completion."..

Hey paddlers,One year ago today, the very first demo for Paddle Paddle Paddle went live.At the time, I was just a solo developer from Germany who thought it might be funny to make a game about controlling a boat with paddles and putting friendships under extreme pressure.What happened next completely changed my life.Over the past year, I've watched thousands of people discover Paddle. I've seen streamers scream at each other, friendships get tested in ways science still can't explain, and countless clips of boats flying exactly where they weren't supposed to.And somehow, all of you turned this

PADDLERS!Surprise. The first content DLC for Paddle Paddle Paddle is live right now.Up Up Up no longer sends you forward (...ok, it's still forward but different). It sends you straight up. And yes, it is exactly as bad as that sounds. Higher. Harder. Meaner. More of everything that has already been testing your friendships.No checkpoints.No mercy.No shortcuts.One bad jump. One mistimed paddle. One tiny panic moment and you fall all the way back to the start. Everything gone. Do it again.This new vertical map is tropical, chaotic, and packed with new mechanics, moving hazards, and delightful l

PADDLERS!I don’t even know how to start this without screaming directly into the water. Your support has been absolutely unbelievable, and the only logical response is: We’re going crazy in 2026.None of this would be possible without you. Truly. Every review, every shout-out, every friendship you’ve emotionally damaged through co-op mode... it all means the world to me. 💙So… what’s next for Paddle Paddle Paddle?Here’s what I hope to bring your way next year (not set in stone yet, but absolutely on my chaotic wishlist): Console PortsYes. Paddle on your couch. Paddle on your TV. Rage in 4K. Mob

Paddlers!Paddlers… gather ‘round the campfire of questionable decision-making. We’ve got Steam Awards business to discuss.First off:We recently crossed 700 reviews (!!!) and we’re now paddling at full speed toward 1,000. You’re amazing. Unhinged, persistent, friendship-endangering... but amazing. Keep it up!And hey, if you’re still working on your Steam Awards Badge tasks, it would mean everything to me if you left a review or updated your existing one. Every single one helps, and yes, I absolutely notice. I read them. I cherish them. I cry over them. All normal.Now… about nominations:For Padd

Paddlers… I’m honestly speechless.As a solo developer, being part of the OTK event with my own game is a literal dream come true. It’s wild, exciting, slightly terrifying... and an absolute blast.And to properly celebrate both OTK and Paddle Paddle Paddle, a brand-new content update is OUT NOW. Before we get straight into what’s waiting for you, here's some weirdo moving footage for you: 🆕 New Gamemode: RacingRace with up to 4 players on brand-new, handcrafted race tracks. Speed. Chaos. Screaming. Everything you’d expect.🟣 Twitch Integration (for all those content creators, suffered enough y

Big waves ahead, paddlers!So thrilled to announce that Paddle Paddle Paddle will be part of this November’s OTK Expo. It’s a huge honor (and a little terrifying) to be featured among so many amazing games. And yes, I'm bringing something special to celebrate.I can’t say much yet, but let’s just say… if you thought you’d already mastered the art of paddling chaos, think again.Stay tuned, keep your paddles polished, and get ready for something exciting!Happy paddling!

PADDLERS!Things are getting spooky on the water! You can now paddle in style (or un-life) with the new Halloween set:🪦 A coffin boat to rest in between failures 💀 Skeletal paddles for that bony grip 🎃 A pumpkin hat so everyone knows you’re gourd-geousIt’s free, it’s festive, and it’s absolutely frighteningly fashionable.Go grab your eerie outfit, summon your bravest co-op partner, and remember: in the afterlife, there’s no pause button.Happy paddling... and happy haunting! 👻

Paddlers!So… you like suffering. We get it. You bought Paddle Paddle Paddle. You willingly picked up a paddle and said, “Yes, I want to rage and maybe yell at my friends a little.”Well, good news. There’s a brand new way to ruin friendships on Steam right now. It’s called Forgotten Fragments and it just released a few days ago by fellow deveopers Binary Phoenix (they're awesome guys!).It’s a fantastic game. It’s also an enraging game. But don’t worry, it’s not the same flavor of rage as paddling into sawblades for the 384th time. It’s a different kind of frustration. Variety is important.And t
