Qwak Reborn

Qwak Reborn is a single-screen arcade platformer for one or two players, with 70 levels across seven distinct worlds. Race against the clock to collect every golden key and reach the exit before deadly spikes start falling. You can play alone or team up with a friend.

Levels and hazards

Throw eggs at enemies, managing your ammunition and collecting fruit to restock. Special eggs deal heavy damage or drop chocolate fruit or candy. Mushrooms turn flowers into skulls and skulls into flowers; collect 10 flowers for an extra life, and avoid the skulls.

Puzzle levels ask you to use coloured keys to open gates and treasure chests, and to pull levers, trigger spring traps and locate vanishing walls in the right order to reach goodies or diamonds.

Items and abilities

Potions grant abilities such as zapping enemies, doubling egg damage, becoming invisible, jumping higher, freezing enemies, flying, becoming invulnerable or gaining extra armour. Umbrellas make it rain: coloured and white umbrellas drop fruit, potions and supa eggs, while black umbrellas bring down spikes.

Qwak's origins

Qwak first appeared on the BBC Micro and Commodore Amiga. Qwak Reborn was rebuilt for modern platforms by the same solo creator, carrying forward the original game's 1980s arcade challenge.
