About this game
Hi! I'm Alexander and this is my game KoChaos! This is a project I've been working on since 2020. Me and a buddy always discussed wanting to make a game in middle school and I went for it. It took me forever to get the idea down but I think I've got it.
In KoChaos, you aim to defeat minions and bosses to collect XP to get extremely powerful. There are four difficulties that you can use to your advantage. Start small on Easy and work your way to Ko difficulty.
There are eight heroes you can level up to your heart's content. Each has three abilities and there primary attacks to use at your disposal.
There are tons of bosses to fight and conquer as well.
-Features-
- You can use glowing emerald swords.
- Every bit of XP you gain for a hero stays with that hero and the stats.
- The longer you play the easier the game becomes.
- Guns are here for some reason.
- Dash like never before!
- You can infinitely ascend your heroes to make them extremely powerful.
- No cap on stats.
- The enemies have one eye.
I hope you hop in the game and enjoy!

Performance Issues!
So sorry! If you are having performance issues with the game, it is a very easy fix! Game Maker Studio 2 is what I use to program and distribute this game and the future game I am working on. If you are having upscaling and performance issues you will need to install the latest .NET Framework from here, https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet-framework So sorry I did not address this issue sooner. If you have installed another game that has install .NET you most likely are having some other issue. Most performance problems seem to stem from tis however. Have an awesome day! - Alex :)Read full article on Community Announcements (ImAlexander)Patch NotesOfficial

Patch 2.4
Hey all! With this patch, I have fixed a decent amount of things. Mainly gold. Now you're being given a certain amount on different difficulties. You moved the UI around so it's not completely in your way. It made Thy Unknown way stronger. So with the basic fixes out of the way I would like to announce a new hero is in the works and a new area. They have not had work done on them just yet, as I want to focus on planning right now. Have an amazing day! - Alex:)Read full article on Community Announcements (ImAlexander)AnnouncementsOfficial
KoChaos Steam Deck Compatibility
Hey all! This is an announcement about steam deck compatibility! So with the last few updates I’ve worked hard on ensuring that the game works flawlessly with the steam deck and no crashes or major bugs occur. I’m happy to let you know what is supported with the deck. - Does KoChaos work with proton? Yes the game works and has no issues. I’ve used the experimental and latest versions. No issues. - Does KoChaos work with the control layout on the steam deck? From all I’ve tested, keyboard and the native controller inputs have worked flawlessly and I personally have not occurred any issues. Others have also tested with their deck and have had no issues, though your experience could vary depending on the type of inputs you use. I’ve used a PS4, PS5, and XBOX controller and they all work just fine. There are also prompts within the game as well to let you know what you must press for a character to perform that action. - How well does KoChaos perform on the deck? The game performs amazingly. No stuttering and the game gets a consistent sixty frames per second. With the game being 2D it should not come to anyone’s surprise it would perform great. - How well is text readability in KoChaos on the deck? All text large and small is more than readable. The only text I would expect anyone not to read is the enemy health points. Other than that I would say that’s cleared. With the game also receiving its latest update I would say it makes the game more than playable with tons of content to experience and more to come. With all that being said, I’d say you can enjoy the game on the go with your deck with no issues. Have a great day! - Alex:)Read full article on Community Announcements (ImAlexander)Patch NotesOfficial
Patch 2.3
Hey all! So this is an everyday update. It's sizable so I didn't want to include it in the small patches section. So let's get down to it. Once again, I've changed many things with the end game. I've made it to where the void has more enemy variety and functions as one. I've also added more enemy variety to the Dune and Fire areas as well. I've also decreased the amount of gold needed to upgrade healing by half. I've added more ways of getting gold and decreased its rarity from enemies. Gold now drops from bosses. The amount might be changed in the future though. That's it besides a few little tweaks here and there. Let me know what you think. Have an amazing day! - Alex:)Read full article on Community Announcements (ImAlexander)
