Nakawak
ANOTHER FREE CONTENT EXPASION!
Today's expansion adds a new room containing a new, epic, and hopefully challenging boss battle.
This is the first of many planned boss battles and new levels coming sometime this year or early 2019.
Thank you for playing!!!
Note: Updates such as these can affect save data. I apologize in advance for any lost progress as this cannot be helped. Hopefully the added content makes Nakawak a better experience.
Major Content Update - 5/07/18
Today's additions:
-Revamped first boss encounter - difficulty has been raised
-Many subtle touches of polish throughout the game's entirety
-Various bug fixes including missiles penetrating certain walls
-Sound fixes
Previous additions:
-Extended playtime
-Rearranged Powerups
-New areas to explore
-Game progression alterations (to encourage exploration)
-New music
-New enemies
-Widescreen (no more black borders)
-and a full colorization of the game (from black and white)
This will likely be the final update for a while. I'm fairly satisfied with the current product. A few Kickstarter related additions will be made going into 2019, but as it stands, I'm pleased to bring to you all the "final" version of the game: Nakawak: Expanded Color Edition, funded by my Kickstarter backers.
Thanks to everyone who supported me and believed in this disabled developer enough to fund this first passion project of mine. For all who are interested, you can find Nakawak's prequel on itch.io titled Space Child.
Thank you!
Note: These updates might affect save files. If so, I apologize in advance as this cannot be helped. This will be the final update to Nakawak for some time.
Sound Update
Have a great day!

Nakawak - First Update of 2018
-New, more detailed Character Model
-Save Room music has been changed
-Two enemies have been updated for added challenge
That's it for now!
Nakawak - Color Update!
Several minor updates have been made, but most were touched upon in the previous update. Here are the newest additions to the game:
-Game presented in full color
-New title screen
-Intro now colorized
-New missile and beam canon animations
-Better enemy sprites (polish to enemy sprites will continue into the new year)
This is the last major update until the expansion (new levels, music, bosses, abilities, etc) are added sometime in 2018. This update will be free to all owners of Nakawak! And no matter how much bigger and/or better the game gets, the game's price will never increase.
I hope you enjoy the new and improved Nakawak!
Nakawak - Major Update
- The game is now presented in widescreen! this allows for better player visibility (less cheap deaths!)
- No more pause screen for stats, as all are now displayed on the main play screen!
- Enemy hitboxes, player damage, and health have been balanced
- "Down" on the D-Pad now drops the player into the crawling stance (this previously required two button presses)
This is it for the update. These things should help create a better overall experience.
