Paddler

A rhythm-typing bartending game at a sizzling swim-up bar. Serve each patron the drink they're craving by typing its ingredients on the beat.

Best on the Windows build or fullscreen WebGL.

Play in the browser

Loads the game from itch.io, which may set its own cookies.

How to play

  1. Watch the lanes. Patrons arrive with a drink order; the recipe shows on the left menu.
  2. Type each ingredient, then Enter. Order doesn't matter, but each ingredient needs its own Enter.
  3. Serve automatically. When every ingredient is in, the drink goes out and the mixer resets.

Keep it in rhythm

Every keystroke is rhythm-tracked. On-beat typing builds combos and tips; off-beat typing costs score. The music speeds up and more lanes open as you go.

Shortcuts

  • Enter submits the current ingredient.
  • Tab, Esc or Backspace resets your mixer.
  • F toggles fullscreen (web build).
  • Can't type a character like ç? Use the short code, e.g. BCU in the Blue Lagoon.
