V1.03 – Online leaderboards (and more)!
Hi everyone!
You might have already noticed if you're a Kromaia fan, but there have been a few big updates to the game recently… and now's the time to shout about it!
First up, the big addition: online leaderboards are now live! Since Kromaia is a bullet-hell shooter at heart, this is obviously a major deal and now you can compare your skills to people all around the world. The leaderboards have been separated between Story Mode and Score Attack, the latter of which offers different leaderboards for each armor. Can you hit the top and be the best player ever? There's only one way to find out…
On top of the leaderboards, there have been some vital improvements under the bonnet too:
Better collision response, meaning that disorientation after a collision shouldn't be an issue now...
Better unit control, more intuitive and easier for new players (though it's still not that easy – Kromaia is still Kromaia, after all!)
Dual crosshair, with current direction and inertia precalculation for fired projectiles now provided
New boost system for improved control while boosting
Red ship has a new and different primary weapon - it's a controlled railgun. Try it and see how you get on!
As always, please ensure you update your local content to get the latest build of the game. Good luck getting to the top of the leaderboards, everyone!

V1.01 - Oculus Rift support!
Hi everyone!
So, it's been a while since the last update to Kromaia but that's because the guys at Kraken Empire have been working hard on something very special indeed – namely, Oculus Rift support! Can you imagine the bullet hell action of Kromaia inside a VR environment? Well, now you don't have to imagine it… you can experience it for yourself!
Information about getting the game working with your OR set-up can be found on the Kraken Empire website. Have a play with it and see what you think! And if you're an OR owner looking for something new to mess about with, this is the perfect time to pick up Kromaia!
On top of this, Steam achievements have now been fully integrated into Kromaia so now you've got even more to strive for when playing.
Have fun… we hope you enjoy it!

Updated - Trading Cards and fixes! (V1.0K)
Hi everyone!
Kraken Empire have been quietly beavering away since the launch of Kromaia to make it even better, and there's now a new update available that fixes a few features. More importantly though, Trading Cards have now been added to the game! Now you can reap rewards while flying through the cosmos, so there's double the reason to do it!
Here's a rundown of what's changed since V1.0:
Trading Cards, badges, emoticons and profile backgrounds added
Fullscreen display now possible for players with multi-monitor configurations
Redefinition is now done on key activation flank
Controls menu visible during tutorial
Controls swap bug fixed
Save point in the last collectible item before boss placed for all but the higher difficulty level
Invulnerability time increased on respawn (to survive some collectible item checkpoints that are protected with traps)
Camera change near planets disabled
“nextra” typo fixed
Emergency exit doors added to some buildings
Saving can’t be disabled from main menu (this option was not intended for players!)
New enemies appear every Halloween!
Be sure to update your local content to get the latest version. Have fun!
Happy Halloween!
Just in time for the scariest day of the year, Kromaia has been updated to version 1.0H - a special Halloween edition!
