## What is Paddle Panic?

Match the color of the two moving paddles to the bouncing ball.  If the ball hits a paddle with the wrong color, it's game over.

*** HOW TO PLAY ***

1. TAP anywhere to change the color of the paddles.
2. SWIPE anywhere to reset the paddle positions.

Paddles automatically move toward each other over time and the ball changes color randomly after hitting a paddle.

Score more points the closer the paddles are to each other.

Remember, swipe anywhere to reset the paddle positions to reduce your panic.

This is Paddle Panic.  Fun but panicky!

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2019-12-26*

When I'm on my phone sick of Roblox and minecraft this is the perfect game, it is simple it is a challenge. It is perfect for just chilling.

### 4/5 — Fun, fun, fun!

*2017-01-19, version 1.1*

Love this game. The graphics are simple, but beautiful. If you like games that require fast reflexes and a knack for timing, this is the game for you.

### 1/5 — Bosta

*2016-10-21, version 1.1*

Sem duvidas comer cocô é melhor do que jogar esse lixo.

### 5/5 — Intenso

*2016-10-12, version 1.1*

Pra quem gosta de jogos que estimulem a coordenação motora!

### 5/5 — Infuriatingly good fun

*2016-10-03*

Another simple, yet mildly addictive, frustrating and lots of fun all at the same time.

Great game Mr Enormace.

### 5/5 — Great concentration game

*2016-09-17*

Love these kind of games. Great for in between!

### 5/5 — Panic attack

*2016-08-30*

Gives the mental rush and really creates a sense of panic! Addictive and much better than flappy birds 😂😂

### 5/5 — Love it

*2016-08-27, version 1.0*

Simple, addictive and challenging.

### 3/5 — Meh

*2016-08-24*

I downloaded this while on the toilet, played it one handed while wiping with the other, I was bored with it by the time I was done. If you want to kill 5-10 min this works I guess. Any longer and it's boring. I've already deleted it...

### 2/5 — Not very entertaining...

*2016-08-24*

Sorry
