I am excited to announce that I will be making KIRO free to download and keep on steam! It has now been a few years since I developed and launched KIRO. It was a fun project to launch on steam and I learned a lot while developing it. I feel like I have grown significantly as a game developer and I don't feel like the game is worthy enough to keep behind a paywall so I made the decision to transfer it to free-to-play. I wanted to make this announcement to warn anyone who is interested in the game to not buy the game and just wait for it to transition to free-to-play. -Blekoh

I spent some time to make a retro version of KIRO for the commodore 64 as a little side project. Details about it can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WGGvn8_Gfo To download the game directly you can find instructions and the game here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/52648474 Have a great day! -Blekoh

Since launch, the Linux version of KIRO was a few versions behind the Windows version due to a bug in Game Maker Studio 2.3 which made it no longer possible to build steam games for Linux. Game Maker Studio released a new version today that fixes this bug so it is now possible to build the game for Linux. Today, I updated the Linux version so that it now matches the Windows version. Any new build for the game will be built for both Linux and Windows going forward so there should not be a discrepancy between versions. As a side note, I don't have a dedicated Linux build system and have to do all my testing on a VM which is not ideal so please let me know if there are any issues running the game on Linux (or Windows c:). Thanks for playing KIRO, Blekoh
