Even if we do extensive testing on every of our releases, nobody is perfect! Quickly after the release of the last update, 2 players noticed a bug we thought was important enough to be quickly addressed.

We also took the opportunity to add a few tweaks suggested by a friend of ours that hadn't had the chance to make the cut last time :)

• Level: Sector K-7Z4-C0A7L
  
  • Lowered life from the blast launchers at the beginning
    
  • Fixed 3 pillars being sometimes skipped and preventing the player from being able to move in the labyrinth
    
  • Simplified the color-change AI of the pillars and prevented the player from being able to keep them at only one color
    
  • Made enemies coming after each pillar destruction come faster
    
  • Made the first part of the labyrinth slightly easier in normal mode

You've been training a little more than a month on the first four levels of Pawarumi... Are you ready now to play the last level? It's finally here!

Every level in Pawarumi as his original elements that twist the genre in several ways. But this last level twists Pawarumi itself! The way we use the camera and the game mechanics is totally original and quite different from the rest of the game. The reason why we chose to do so will totally make sense in an upcoming update where we’ll finally reveal the story.

This last level has proven to be tougher to create than we first thought it would be. This is mainly because it ended up being a lot more fun and original than what we had planned at first!



This is the first release of this level and we are already planning updates to it to make it even better. Tell us everything you liked and didn't like about it so we can add to the task list and make the level even more awesome! To do so, you can participate to our Steam Forums or join our Discord or simply shoot us a friendly e-mail!

Please share and retweet the news! Make those leaderboards explode!

Good luck and have fun!
