We patched our Unity version and rebuilt the game, now there's a new patch available to download that would fix grey screen / resolution bug that some of you were experiencing.

Sorry for the time, we spent too much time thinking it would be something in our project but it was just beyond our hands to fix. We had a problem with the new 5.2 version of Unity. Sorry guys and girls :/

Thank you for your awesome feedback on it.

Keep on Chromatizing!

Hey guys and girls.
I'm sorry for the lack of updates lately. So this is what we've been doing...

We're working really hard on porting the game for new platforms yay o/
In the future you'll be able to play Chroma Squad on different platforms we've already announced and be ready for some surprises on the way:

We're also polishing some features like upgrading the Mecha Fights and Audience Bar for a better player experience. All the best for the best supporters ever! ː8bitheartː
But don't worry! We're also fixing all the bugs we can get our hands on! Those little troublemakers will get what they deserve.

We're also on a very very veeeery experimental moment with a little something we're trying to do for you...



It's a very early prototype. But in the future you'll get more news about it so get ready to Chromatize even more!

We are starting on the long road of post-release Chroma Squad with a brand new plan and a lot of cool surprises for you in the coming months! But before we head out to new and exciting things we want to make sure that the game you can play right now is at its best.

We have dealt with the rest of the high-profile bugs on our list and the game should be extremely stable by now, with no big nasty bugs anywhere. Please let us know if that’s not the case!

This update also addresses many gameplay issues that were raised by players, critics and internally on the studio. Mecha healing skills have received a good buff, but expect a bit more incoming damage from the Kaijus as well. We have also rebalanced Audience completely - getting 100% Audience will become harder and harder to pull off as the game progresses. Economy and upgrades also got a re-touch and will be more more challenging especially on Season 4 onwards.

Last but not least, we are looking at how you play our game both through videos and through raw data, and we have made a tough choice - but an important one, nonetheless. We are removing the “Blackouts” episode from Season 2, and the “Iron Mongery” episode from Season 3. We know some of you loved these, and we love them as well - they’re our kids after all! But we had a pacing problem on these Seasons and we are confident that new players coming into Chroma Squad now will have a much better experience with shorter seasons. Ironing Man will make a triumphant return…. Soon™.
