Setting up for a stream of us playing Paddlenoid. I think that may actually be one of the scariest things I've done 😬

But it's necessary. For the good of the game 😊

First big mailing sent!

If you're an influencer or a publication that would love a game like Paddlenoid but I didn't sent you an e-mail; let me know!

I have a pretty big list but I know it's not exhaustive.

Paddlenoid demo update on Steam, Itch and web.

This update adds a set of highscores to beat. Instead of just seeing your own name in the highscore you'll now have a couple of meaningful scores to beat for each level.

Just calibrating the star awards with the new hot pod ability (combo's and multipliers).

It's surprisingly challenging to keep scores, high scores and level progressions meaningful. But it's fun to get really into😊

Paddlenoid just got hotter 😊🔥🔥

Bouncing heats up the pod and the hotter you are, the higher you score!

Get the free demo from Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/2789390/...

Or play online on your desktop: www.deadbugprojects.com/paddlenoid-d...

Having a lot of fun tweaking the Steam store page and trying to make it fit with all of the lore in the game.

...It says the game was developed by humans. But something about this text still feels a little suspicious ...

2026 will be the big year! - Let's see if we can't finish Paddlenoid, get it everywhere games are and release a completely new game to boot 😊

The game's a little different, but so are we 😅 - I'm sure you guys will love it!

Steam Next Fest is coming up soon, so we decided to quickly add some new mechanics to Paddlenoid. What could possibly go wrong 😅

Bounce around a lot and your pod becomes hot while your score multiplies. Adding more skill to the game.

I just found out that our release date is set for 'Awkward Moments Day 2026'...

I think I'm going to leave it there. It feels... fitting 😊

I never considered using an existing game engine for Paddlenoid. Nor have I ever tried one...

I don't really have a good, rational argument for that; it just doesn't seem as "fun" to me.

Working on marketing and really deeply thinking about the game story, presentation and messaging around it ..

I'm realizing I should've done that before even the first line of code. So many new idea's!

Well... It's not released yet 😊

So, what if you just really quickly want to play Paddlenoid but don't need the hassle of even starting steam?

Paddlenoid: A fun, single or coop brick breaker with a twist
An arcade brick breaker; imagine the love child of Arkanoid and Pong. Now imagine a unique visual style and some new mechanics that you'll swear should've always been there.

Getting there! - Only two weeks ago we where at sub 100 😊

Still a long way to go, but we're still polishing the game, updating the demo and learning about marketing!

Tweaking the title screen a bit; adding the new logo. I think it looks a lot better😊
