I chatted with @zoroarts.bsky.social about the experience of making a game that can be finished in under 2 hours on Steam, and the 55,000 refund requests he's received as a consequence of people gaming the system. kotaku.com/steam-indie-...

Mateo started Paddle Paddle Paddle on his own with a random idea and a lot of determination. The game took off and now he’s launched his first DLC. Always great to see solo devs stick with it. @zoroarts.bsky.social store.steampowered.com/app/3570070/... #multiplayer #indiedev #gamedev

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.
