PaddlePunks is an underground fighting tennis game with local play against several levels of AI difficulty, as well as online and local multiplayer.

There's a cast of characters that all play quite differently. Want to force your opponent to play breakout instead of pong? Pick wizard.

The game is still quite early in development and the assets are largely placeholders (there to get a feel for how things work) but the gameplay itself is solid.

Multiplayer

You shouldn't need to forward ports, but if people have trouble connecting, forward whatever port you want to use. Default is 2222.

hello do you plan gnu/linux support soon? otherwise can i find source somewhere to try to compile? thanks

Hi! I'm planning on it eventually, but don't have a linux machine at the moment and I don't want to just blindly cross compile. That being said, it's been tested a bunch in both wine and proton and seems to work very well, the opengl requirements are low.
