About This Game

Two balls. Twelve paddles. No mercy.

Last Paddle Standing! is a chaotic multiplayer arcade game about one very simple thing: don't let the ball get past you.

Up to 12 players surround an ever-changing arena. Return the ball, survive the chaos, and be the last paddle standing. Every elimination shrinks the arena, speeds up the rallies, and makes the survivors increasingly uncomfortable.

And getting eliminated doesn't mean you're done causing problems.

Short Matches. Maximum Chaos.

Jump in, play a few rounds, leave happy. Most matches wrap up in under 15 minutes, depending on player count and the rules you pick.

Customize your look, grab your favorite paddle, and you're in; everything is playable from the first match. No grind. Just return the ball.

1v1 With a Friend? 12-Player Free-for-All?

Play a clean 1v1, dive into a chaotic free-for-all, or team up in pairs and trios.

Want a five-player match? Go for it.

Want all twelve players squeezed into one arena? Terrible idea. Do it anyway.

Create custom lobbies and tweak the rules, hit Quick Play to find a match, or fill the empty spots with bots.

One Couch. Twelve Players.

No need to go online: up to 12 players can play together on one screen. Grab a controller, press a button, and you're in. Keyboard and mouse players are welcome too.

Got a friend or two on the couch? Take them into online lobbies as well.

The Arena Doesn't Stay the Same

Players don't simply disappear when they're eliminated - the arena changes with them. As players get knocked out, the arena rebuilds itself around whoever is still alive, shrinking and shifting shape as the match progresses. A huge, chaotic arena can end as a very uncomfortable little 1v1.

Survive Long Enough to Get Stronger

Every paddle plays differently. Pick a size and an ability - curve the ball with spin, catch and release it, charge up a slingshot return and find the style that fits you.

As the field thins out, the survivors draft perks and abilities mid-match. The longer you last, the nastier you get.

Hosts can fine-tune every match with rule presets or build their own house rules from scratch.

Eliminated? Good. Get Revenge.

Getting knocked out isn't fun... unless you can make everyone else's game worse.

Eliminated players return as malicious spirits and keep participating from beyond the grave. Spawn obstacles, interfere with rallies, and make life miserable for the players rude enough to survive longer than you.

You might be out. Your revenge isn't.
