Qwak is a 2D platform/puzzle game developed by Jamie Woodhouse. It was initially released for the BBC Micro and Acorn Electron in 1989 as part of Acornsoft's "Play It Again Sam 10" compilation. An updated and enhanced Amiga version was later given a budget released in 1993, and was published by Team17. Qwak is now available for the GBA, see link below.

[edit] Gameplay
The basis of this game is to pass levels by collecting keys to open gates. Fruit can also be collected for points.
The 1993 Amiga update added several new features, including a two player mode and additional levels. The game was also re-released on the Amiga CD32 later that year in a double-pack with science fiction shooter Alien Breed.
Jamie Woodhouse has recently completed development of a Game Boy Advance version of Qwak, and is currently seeking a publisher. [1] .
