It's a 1993 action puzzler in the vein of Bubble Bobble. It's got 80-something levels. It's been released on: BBC Micro, Acorn Electron, Amiga, Amiga CD32, Game Boy Advance, and most recently as a PC and Mac Download direct from the developer.

I recently got the GBA version (also as a limited release from the developer, Jamie Woodhouse who has a pretty awesome and varied resume) and it just really hit me as an overlooked gem. Wanted to share

not even a response? Really?

Don't worry, we read your suggestions, and even if we don't respond directly to you about them, we do discuss them. We've been a bit busy lately, what with Fast's changing job situation, my graduating, and Racket's personal life, but we'll be discussing it in the coming months.

thanks man. I just genuinely felt like I discovered something I wanted to share with the community. So I wanted to make sure it was acknowledged.

Qwak sounds good to me, anyone have any objection to it being April's title?

And yes, fiscal month end, changing jobs, and family coming in to town. Not a good time for me.

if we do Qwak, I'd also suggest that the Podcast for April try to get an interview with Jamie Woodhouse... he's done some ports of interest as well.
