Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Paddle Cats is already playable, but it is not yet the complete experience we envision.

Community feedback will be especially valuable as we refine the core gameplay, balance progression, add content, and determine which features are most important to players.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Our current goal is to remain in Early Access for approximately six months. However, this is only an estimate and may change depending on development progress, the scope of planned additions, and community feedback.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan to expand the game with a more complete progression system, NPC quests, unlockable items, additional environments, and more content to discover.

We also plan to continue polishing the existing experience, improving balance, and expanding the game based on feedback received throughout Early Access. The exact scope may evolve as development continues.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The core game is playable, with players able to paddle, explore, fish, and work together from the same boat.

The game is still actively being developed, so players may encounter unfinished content, limited progression, balance changes, bugs, and features that continue to evolve throughout Early Access.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to gradually raise the price as we release significant new content and features. We want the Early Access price to reward the players who support the game during its earlier stages of development.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We plan to share development updates, patch notes, videos, and previews as work on the game continues.

We also have a Discord community dedicated to Paddle Cats, where players can share feedback, report issues, suggest ideas, and discuss the game. Community feedback will help us prioritize improvements and shape the game throughout Early Access.”

About This Game

A game about two cats in a boat.

They row around.

The water is nice.

Fish are tasty.

Sometimes they catch one.

Some fish are hard to catch.

Some fish are too strong.

Maybe one cat can reel while the other rows.

...

That usually helps.
---------------------------------------------------------

Paddle Cats is a cozy local co-op fishing adventure about two cats sharing one boat.

Work together to paddle across the water, find promising fishing spots, cast your lines, and wrestle your catch back to the boat. Both players occupy the same boat and can paddle or fish at the same time, so every trip becomes an exercise in cooperation and occasionally complete chaos.

Share One Boat

Each player controls one of the two cats aboard the boat. Coordinate your paddle strokes to steer, fight against moving water, avoid rocks, and reach new fishing spots. You can work together carefully or accidentally crash your boat.

Fish Together

Aim and cast your rod, manage the line, and reel in fish with different sizes and behaviors. Hooking a fish is only the beginning: powerful catches can fight back, pull the boat through the water, and drag both players toward danger.

Protect Your Boat

Land, obstacles, strong currents, and unruly fish can damage the boat. Pay attention to your surroundings while fishing.

Choose What to Bring Home

Caught fish take up space in your shared cooler. Decide which catches are worth keeping before returning to camp.

A Cozy Cooperative Adventure

Paddle Cats combines relaxed exploration and fishing with physical, cooperative boat handling. It is designed as a controller focused couch co-op experience for two players playing together on one screen.

Early Access

The Early Access version includes the game’s core local co-op loop: paddling a shared boat, exploring the water, catching fish, managing your cooler, and returning with your catch. We plan to expand the experience during development with additional progression, NPC requests, unlockable items, fish, and environments.
