Minor bugfixes and tweaks
Update #2.1 One got through!
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 :)
Patch Notes
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
Update #2 Access to Sector K-7Z4-C0A7L
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!

Update #1 Linux Support and More!
Hey everyone!
Linux Gamers, we promised, we delivered!
From the beginning of the development of Pawarumi, releasing the game for Linux was on the schedule. Even with its growing community of players, Linux gamers are still often forgotten by the game industry. This is something we couldn’t let happen as we have Linux users in the team at Manufacture 43!
That’s not all folks
Being in early access mean that we listen to your feedback… In fact, saying that we read them will be more accurate. Whether it’s on the Steam forums, our Discord server or other dedicated forums we thank you for all your valuable feedbacks. They help us make the game better for everyone. Among the things we tweaked, bullet visibility was improved, better sound feedbacks have been added to support the game mechanics and user experience overall has been tweaked to be more satisfying.
Coming up next!
Soonish, the last level of the game will finally be available to the world. This last level has proven to be tougher to create than we first taught it would be. This is mainly because it ended up being a lot more fun and original than what we had planned at first! We are hard at work on it and we promise it will be a true last level, worthy of your training on the first four!
