Get ready for the largest update so far, and probably the last one before the full release!
Summer Update: Welcome to the Komakas Region!
This summer, embark on a new adventure with a dozen new levels in the Komakas region. The Komakas is the stretch of sea separating the Edge from the rest of the continent. Continue your journey from the battle against Greedy Bear and explore the islands until you reach the Continent.
To reach the Komakas, you can also take advantage of the tunnels under the Edge, offering a convenient shortcut if you can find them. These tunnels can be accessed from the Serene Tunnels, bypassing the surrounding caves.
While exploring the islands, encounter new foes including sparring pirates, bomb-tossing pirates, and mysterious giant tentacles. Use boats and balloons to travel to distant locations.
The Komakas region introduces a new power on the Power Table: the Magic Carpet. This power allows you to levitate for a short time, helping you traverse further than you could on foot.
The Infinite Tower has been revamped with new challenges and increased difficulty as you delve deeper. This one-player challenge ends after 10 hits or deaths, providing a true test of your skills.
Alongside new content, existing levels in the Edge Caves have been adjusted for easier completion. Additionally, this update comes numerous bug fixes and other improvements to enhance your overall experience.

Update 0.9.4
Wawa United has been updated to version 0.9.4.
URGENT: Drastic performance issues, failures to connect and random disconnections have been reported in multiplayer games, making online multiplayer next to unplayable. These issues have been analyzed, their causes are known, and they are being worked on. This is the highest priority at the moment and a hotfix should be published soon. I am absolutely sorry for the inconvenience. It is advised to avoid multiplayer until they are resolved.
IMPORTANT: If the game causes issues on start or if the controls do not respond as they should, you should reset the keybinds to their defaults in the settings menu. If this does not work, REMOVE the folder User/YourUserName/AppData/Roaming/WawaUnited. No worries, it is designed to regenerate.
Here are the changes : - UI has been modified to be more friendly to controllers. You can navigate the UI using arrow keys. This is still a work in progress, but most critical interfaces are working. - Some levels have been modified and simplified. They also have been optimized to work better on lower end machines. - A huge number of bugs have been resolved.
