Paddle Cats Co-op Fishing Game in Development for PC
The pitch leans on a physical joke that most co-op fishing games skip: the catch is heavy enough to move the boat, so the two players are tied to each other by the same hazard rather than playing side by side.

Polymer is developing Paddle Cats, a two-player local co-op fishing adventure for PC via Steam, with an early access release planned for 2026. Two players share one boat, paddle to fishing spots, cast lines together, and haul catches into a shared cooler box. The fish fight back and can drag the boat, risking damage to the vessel and sending both players into the water.
The Steam page frames the launch version around the local co-op core, with further progression elements, NPC requests, unlockable items, fish types, and environments planned during development. Polymer is an overseas company whose YouTube channel describes it as a creative design and animation production company working in motion graphics and 3D visualization. The game's own account introduced the project with a short line about putting two cats in a boat.
