Paddlenoid is in the Steam Autumn Sale! 🍂 It's a brick breaker you can play with a friend. Control your paddles, bend the universe, and defeat the Galactic Empress. For under $3 you can look as happy as my niece does playing it.😊 store.steampowered.com/app/2789390/... #indiegames #steam

My advice for making a game that you'll still want to play after months of development: add cheats early. You shouldn't have to prove you can beat your own game every time you need to test something halfway through it 😅 #gamedev #indiegames

I spent far longer than expected getting Paddlenoid's story right. Two endings, a dark sci-fi mystery, lots of rewriting. Then I made every cutscene skippable. I wanted to tell a story, but maybe just want to break some blocks 🙂 #gamedev #indiegames

Small Paddlenoid update: You can now adjust the touch sensitivity! Less thumb travel or more room for precise movements, find what feels right for you 🙂 Available in the latest update on Android and iPhone. #indiegames #MobileGaming

The next iteration of my custom game engine will have a completely different, much more complete animation pipeline. Just wanted to throw that out there 😊 #gamedev #indiegames

My first attempt at an iPad App Store preview for Paddlenoid. Turns out it's way too long (1 minute) and the 60Hz frame rate is too high. I didn't mean to show off. 😅 #gamedev #indiegamedev #AppStore

Deadbug Projects 🎮Paddlenoid 🎮 @deadbugprojects.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

Meet bob, our security bot. He was just resting his eyes for a bit😅 We're joining the Steam Summer Sale with a huge discount. Time to find a friend and try Paddlenoid. store.steampowered.com/app/2789390/... #indiegames #steamsale

Deadbug Projects 🎮Paddlenoid 🎮 @deadbugprojects.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

The space levels are the most fun. This is one of the later, multi stage levels, where the game has obviously broken and you'll move through different out-of-place areas. You can play Paddlenoid on Android too: play.google.com/store/apps/d... #indiegames #gamedev

091

Deadbug Projects 🎮Paddlenoid 🎮 @deadbugprojects.bsky.social · 02/06/2026

Not every level needs to be harder than the last. A good game balances challenge with fun. Sometimes players just need to breathe. This level is about mid game 😊 #gamedev #indiegames

That looks like the Android port of Paddlenoid is in good shape 💪 Will click publish on monday! Paddlenoid is a perfectly innocent coop brick breaker, available on Steam right now; soon to infiltrate your mobile devices as well 😇 #gamedev #indiegames

Deadbug Projects 🎮Paddlenoid 🎮 @deadbugprojects.bsky.social · 04/05/2026

Still in review ... 😔 Well, I guess today I'll be working on the iPhone port. #gamedev #indiegames

We had a lot of fun hiding easter eggs in Paddlenoid 👀 Some are easy to spot… others, not so much. But in this level, one is hiding in plain sight. Can you find it? #gamedev #indiegames

0105

Deadbug Projects 🎮Paddlenoid 🎮 @deadbugprojects.bsky.social · 27/04/2026

It's (unofficially) verified. Paddlenoid is also fun on the Steam Deck 💪 We just pushed a small update, ironing out the the last keyboard reference when on deck. Pic is an artists impression btw 😅 #gamedev #indiegames

Deadbug Projects 🎮Paddlenoid 🎮 @deadbugprojects.bsky.social · 17/04/2026

What if a superior alien race was quietly infiltrating our universe... bending reality... guiding your every move... Anyway let's not worry about that... Just play Paddlenoid, your totally innocent brick breaker 😇 (It's on sale btw 👀) store.steampowered.com/app/2789390/... #indiegames #steamsale

Deadbug Projects 🎮Paddlenoid 🎮 @deadbugprojects.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

In Paddlenoid you're actually breaking the game itself. Or are you... Will you join the Empress or save the universe? #gamedev #indiegames

Deadbug Projects 🎮Paddlenoid 🎮 @deadbugprojects.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

Hit the big switch to flip layers. If your friendship survives this, you may actually be soulmates 😊 Play Paddlenoid on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/2789390/... #gamedev #indiegames

Here's one of the middle 'Space' levels from Paddlenoid. If you keep picking up crystals the game slowly starts to unravel near the end... #gamedev #indiegames

Deadbug Projects 🎮Paddlenoid 🎮 @deadbugprojects.bsky.social · 21/03/2026

Just pushed a small update to Paddlenoid. Turns out that playing with a controller and navigating the in-game menu too fast had side effects... So .. Now the game is perfect 😊 Play Paddlenoid on Steam tonight! It'll be fun! 👾👾 #indiegames #majorupdate

Deadbug Projects 🎮Paddlenoid 🎮 @deadbugprojects.bsky.social · 19/03/2026

In case you missed yesterdays new... Paddlenoid is finally out! - After a little over 2 years of development you can now finally play your part in this brick breaking epic 😊 One guy already described it as "the crack of 2026" 😅 store.steampowered.com/app/2789390/... #indiegames #gameon

Deadbug Projects 🎮Paddlenoid 🎮 @deadbugprojects.bsky.social · 16/03/2026

New Paddlenoid demo, just two days before release! Turns out I completely forgot to add a window box. Here's what that does. So, if you where playing on an ultra-wide monitor (21:9) you'd see artifacts left and right on some scenes, like the title. #gamedev #indiegames

Deadbug Projects 🎮Paddlenoid 🎮 @deadbugprojects.bsky.social · 08/03/2026

Sometimes little things take up much more time than you'd expect... Well, we finally have a nice legend when entering a high score with a controller 😊 Thanks @kenney.nl for the input prompt asset pack! #gamedev #indiegames

Deadbug Projects 🎮Paddlenoid 🎮 @deadbugprojects.bsky.social · 06/03/2026

Deadbug Projects 🎮Paddlenoid 🎮 @deadbugprojects.bsky.social · 21/02/2026

Don't panic, we just changed our capsule art! If you've just lost Paddlenoid in your library, this is what you're looking for now 😊 #SteamNextFest #gamedev

Deadbug Projects 🎮Paddlenoid 🎮 @deadbugprojects.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

Small but important Paddlenoid demo update! You can now jump to the other episodes after completing the demo content for one episode. We noticed that many people playing the demo only play the Jungle levels. The demo is a lot bigger! #SteamNextFest #gamedev

081

Deadbug Projects 🎮Paddlenoid 🎮 @deadbugprojects.bsky.social · 17/02/2026

Don't forget Paddlenoid on Steam Next Fest! I've been working on this for 2.5 years now and it's a real experience. Personally the thing that I'm most proud of! We have a free demo on Steam to get a taste. #SteamNextFest #gamedev #indiegames

Deadbug Projects 🎮Paddlenoid 🎮 @deadbugprojects.bsky.social · 16/02/2026

Paddlenoid will be at Steam Next Fest 👾 We'll have a single/coop block breaker with nothing less than the fate of the universe at stake! Also, come check out the Stream to see Sophie and I play Paddlenoid. #gamedev #indiegames

Life update: Deadbug Projects now has a mascot! Her name is Winnie, she's 8 weeks old. We're expecting lower productivity but higher morale 😊

Don't forget to setup your game category in Youtube! You'll need to send them an actual e-mail for this, but it'll look so much better when your game is mentioned. #gamedev #indiegames

Deadbug Projects 🎮Paddlenoid 🎮 @deadbugprojects.bsky.social · 10/02/2026

Added an interlaced shader to the big ads. Just toning down the pink a little bit... Love how colorful this level is though 😎🤘 #gamedev #indiegames #SteamNextFest

Deadbug Projects 🎮Paddlenoid 🎮 @deadbugprojects.bsky.social · 01/02/2026

Had a really successful Reddit thread last week which got me a ton of positive reactions about the Paddlenoid soundtrack. Never had so many people listen to music that I made with such an overwhelmingly positive response. It's kind of surreal.. 😊🎵 #gamedev #indiegames

Deadbug Projects 🎮Paddlenoid 🎮 @deadbugprojects.bsky.social · 17/01/2026

Sitting on a 30min video of us playing the free Paddlenoid demo but I'm not sure what to do with it 😅 Should I just post the whole thing on YouTube and link it from social media. Or clip it and release in parts? What do you think? #gamedev #indiegames #facereveal

Deadbug Projects 🎮Paddlenoid 🎮 @deadbugprojects.bsky.social · 12/01/2026

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. #gamedev #indiegames
