It's important to communicate with your players!
I noticed our demo testers were only playing the first 3 levels of episode one, while 9 full levels are available... I hope it's clearer now 😊

In Paddlenoid, you're stranded on an alien planet, with only your trusty escape pod to help you get back home...
And, really, that's all there is to it 😅

Now that we've got a trailer up, it's time to finalize the press kit.
After working on the game for so long it's actually weird to see it all summed up plainly like this 😊

The later levels in Paddlenoid are a little more frantic and require some strategy as well. Get to the crystal before you run out of blocks!

Part play through of City level 4. Preparing for a release comes with much self-doubt and a rethinking of everything. Luckily, I think it has improved the game a lot! 😊 - Paddle mechanics are more 'traditional' and more fun! - Also, look at those impact animations 😊

Two ways to control the paddle. Classic (left), like Arkanoid, where the position on the paddle is the deflection angle and Tilting (right), where it deflects naturally but you can tilt for control.
What works best?

🚨 Thanks playtesters! Your feedback helped a lot! But we have to wrap it up soon to prep a - slightly shorter - demo release. Can't keep offering the entire first episode (10 levels + boss!) for free 😅
Please repost for visibility!

This is actually a really fun game 😊 Increased ball speed a little and added a tail to the ball so it's easier to follow.
Now the only thing left is to get some wishlists going!

Here's some brutally honest gameplay of my upcoming game, Paddlenoid. Think you could do better? Join the playtest!
The playtest version will be open until I launch the (shorter) demo.

Do you think we'll make 40K C++ LOC before release?

Is it an app? Is it a website? It's Paddlenoid in Emscripten! 😊
Just playing around a little to see if it's possible. Maybe this is a good way to release a demo...
