Grab your friends, steady your nerves, and prepare for maximum mayhem — the viral paddle-rowing sensation Paddle Paddle Paddle is officially paddling onto Nintendo Switch! Publisher Assemble Entertainment and solo developer Mateo Covic (Zoroarts) have launched the game digitally today, September 17th, priced at just €4.99.

What Is Paddle Paddle Paddle?

Described as a brutally frustrating yet endlessly charming co-op boat adventure, this is the game that took PC by storm — selling over 287,000 copies on Steam since its 2025 debut and earning a nomination for Best Casual Game at the German Video Game Awards.

The premise is beautifully, hilariously simple:

• Row your way through a treacherous, lava-surrounded parkour course
• Dodge swinging axes, unpredictable winds, slippery slopes, and devilish jumps
• One-button gameplay per player — easy to pick up, nearly impossible to master
• Play solo (control both paddles yourself) or with up to 4 players locally

“The game will stay true to its PC counterpart with the ‘one-button’ gameplay — it will feel no different than when playing on PC. Although it has been greatly optimized to run even smoother, those improvements are also coming back to the PC version.”
