From the earliest PadMaps came the mod PadWorld, followed by the next colourful evolution, the World of Padman. Developed and headed by cartoonist and illustrator ENTE, PadWorld Entertainment presents a free ware fun shooter for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, that’s powered by an extended id-Tech3 graphics engine based on the source of ioquake3.

WoP is the domain of ENTE’s comic strip super-hero Padman and his motley crew. It’s their mission to make your game with some seriously addictive fun, whatever your skill level and whatever character role you jump into.

Over the years maps have been revamped, bots improved, killer ducks kept hungry, weapons re-polished and much more, such as new sounds, skins, secrets, effects, and powerups! In all, there are 24 maps. Each supports up to 7 game modes, comprising WoP’s unique Spray Your Color, Last Pad Standing, Big Balloon and of course Capture The Lolly, as well as those old favourite Free For All. Meet scaled-up and richly detailed maps of everyday places where imaginative characters go berserk with an array of colorful plastic weaponry and power-ups. Start rockin’ to the soundtrack of Dieselkopf and Neurological soundtrack and the Pad-Anthem, performed by Green Sun. So grab your earphones.

World of PADMAN - 20 Years Anniversary Edition

Just in time for St. Nicholas Day, everyone should be able to find World of PADMAN 1.7.0 as the 20th Anniversary Edition in their boots, polished or not. We have once again created a unified ZIP for Windows, Linux and MacOS as well as an installer for Windows (64bit only). Both are full versions, as we no longer offer patch releases for previous versions in these days of high-speed Internet. As an alternative, you can also download our game directly from our Github page.

World of PADMAN – 20 Years Anniversary was supposed to be released in the middle of this year, because World of PADMAN turned 20 years old on June 18th, 2024, even though it was originally released as a modification for Quake 3 Arena. Unfortunately, as is often the case, there were delays and even now WoP 1.7.0 is not as complete as originally planned. Nevertheless, this version is a big step forward and an excellent starting point for further updates. Just to highlight some of the new features:

  • 3 new game types: Freeze Tag, Catch The KillerDuck and One Lolly Capture
  • 3 PADMAN skins: HellPad, PadClassic and new PElvis are now included by default
  • 2 new music albums from Neurological, plus 3 new tracks from Dieselkopf and the Carnage music album from MightyPete now included by default
  • Kai’s TrashMap for the game mode Capture The Lolly (and One Lolly Capture)
  • IoQuake3’s OpenGL2 renderer with new visual effects and dynamic sunlight
  • Full widescreen support in game and menu

WoP 1.7.0 is a completely new major release and is not compatible with older versions. It is not possible to view or join older servers. If you want to play a round of World of PADMAN 1.7 online right now, you will have to be patient. Our PadWorld server will not be online until later this evening. Unfortunately, the next Padday will be next year, so we would be happy if you could come to the release party next Sunday, the second Advent, starting at 19:00 (CET).

Finally, we would like to thank our beta testers who helped us a lot with the development of WoP 1.7 and gave us a lot of feedback. Thank you very much!

Enjoy the new version! Your WoP Team

Man, last time I played this was like 10 years ago. Wanted to play some arena shooters again, and I remembered this one. Is there still enough player populating servers?

Hi Deivis_101, check out our Padday every 1st Sunday of a month to play online or join our Discord-Server (http://discord.worldofpadman.net) to ask people to join for a match online! It depends a little on your location if there is a server with a suitable ping.

Hi Fdkd, as far as I know ENTE's PadShop was never released for Elite Force and I think it never will be. :(
