Description: Looking for a thrilling escape? XTREME PADDLEBALL brings you to a world where you can paddle without fear of interruption. Despite the trailer, we promise XTREME PADDLEBALL is simply a game about paddleball, with no additional twists.
Other games put their Paddle Mechanics behind paywalls or bury them in endgame content you can only get to after hundreds of hours. XTREME PADDLEBALL puts your favourite paddleball quests front and centre. But it also puts them from wall to wall and right behind you, because there’s nothing else in the game- and why would there be?
Review: You are probably thinking Xtreme Paddleball is little more than a boring virtual simulation of Paddle ball which is a one-person game played with a paddle and an attached ball. Using the flat paddle with the small rubber ball attached at the centre via an elastic string, the idea is to get the most bounces you can. Boring right!? Well…yes, but Xtreme Paddleball is a little bit more than that. Its also a part escape room as well! OK, so the game only lasts for 20+ mins, but its a nice surprise when you are expecting something else. It’s still not worth the £3.99 asking price, but for a quid or two, you might enjoy this way more than you would think.
