We Love It's Guide to…
Solo-paddle both oars or split them with a partner as you steer a physics-driven boat through a lava-lined obstacle course.

One Paddle Each
Dodge Swinging Axes
Sync Your Strokes
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.

Paddle Paddle Paddle is a boat-based platforming challenge. Play alone and control both paddles, or team up locally or online with each player responsible for one paddle.
Coordinate your strokes to steer the boat across hazardous terrain, including swinging axes, shifting wind, slopes, and jumps. The handcrafted route moves through different biomes and mixes in changing obstacles.
Checkpoints can be toggled in the settings. The game also includes a speedrun timer, race mode, and collectibles that unlock character and boat cosmetics.
Among the supplied positive reviews, players often enjoy the game most with a partner, where coordinating separate paddles turns difficult sections into funny, chaotic sessions. Reviewers also praise the challenge, the variety of obstacles, and the satisfaction of getting better with practice; some mention enjoying checkpoints and unlockable costumes. Some players, however, find the experience short or less enjoyable solo.
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.
