Free yourself of the lowly paddle and become something greater.

 Petty Theft Paddles is a "open world" game that takes place in a discount arcade compilation. Take a ride in the paddle, the ball, the numbers, etc. There is even a main quest so you can feel like you're accomplishing something while you mess around with stuff.

Pro tip: You need to be inside an object (e.g. paddle, ball, UFO) before you can return to reality.

Had an absolute blast figuring this one out, what a trip. Definitely stands out. Not sure if there's more to the game after the big bomb, I was left with a bunch of empty screens and couldn't find anything else to do

Was sad it was over/10

Thanks so much! Yeah, it has sort of a bleak ending. Hoping to add more stuff to do after the jam
