Waddle Throttle
Waddle Throttle is a local multiplayer, figure skating, sumo wrestling mashup currently in-development for the Switch and PC. The game has two modes: a competitive king of the hill mode, where you fight to be the last penguin standing and a two-player collaborative figure skating mode.
In the battle mode there are three different ways to win:
- Make it to the end of the round with the most health left.
- Knock out all the other players before the end of the round.
- Eat ten fish and survive without being knocked off.
In the pairs figure skating mode, you and your partner try to impress the judges by pulling off the best-coordinated figure skating routine, set to music. I am currently developing this game myself, working primarily in Unity and Maya.
The first version of the arcade version of the game was installed at Wonderville from 1/9/24 to 12/1/24 as part of their Wondercab residency! They also hosted the first-ever Waddle Throttle tournament; some pictures are below.
The 2nd version of the arcade game was selected and shown at Super Magfest 2025 as part of their Indie Arcade showcase. I customized a small arcade cabinet (white cabinet pictured below) for the game, building a custom control panel, and over 1800 games were played over the course of the 4-day conference.
The game was also released as part of a compilation of games (Snack Pack 4) to support the non-profit Arcade Commons in 2025 alongside other great game and developers.
I currently developing a home version of the game for a Steam and Itch.io release in 2025.
