About

The earliest PadMaps for Quake 3 Arena gave rise to the mod PadWorld, which was followed by the colorful evolution, World of PADMAN. Developed by cartoonist and illustrator ENTE, PadWorld Entertainment presents a colorful, freeware, fun shooter for the young and the young at heart, powered by an enhanced id Tech 3 graphics engine. WoP is the domain of ENTE's comic strip superhero PADMAN and his motley crew. Their mission is to make your gaming experience seriously addictively fun, no matter your skill level or character role you jump into. Over the years, the maps have been revamped, the bots improved, the KillerDucks have been kept hungry, and the weapons have been re-polished. In all, there are 24 maps. Each supports up to nine game types, including WoP's unique Spray Your Color, Last Pad Standing, Big Balloon, Catch The KillerDuck, Freeze Tag, and, of course, Capture the Lolly. Explore scaled-up, richly detailed environments of everyday places where imaginative characters go berserk with colorful plastic weaponry and power-ups. Start rockin' to the Dieselkopf and Neurological soundtracks, and listen to the Pad Anthem performed by Green Sun. Grab your earphones! Not enough human players on public servers? Practice with bots, and join the community on the official PadWorld server for Padday community events every first Sunday of the month at 7:00 pm CET. Additional license information: The game code is publicly developed and released under the GNU GPL v2.0. The game assets, however, are protected by copyright.
