Immerse yourself in the stunning world of Kalevania and enjoy the original score composed, recorded, and arranged by Ilari Hannula, and produced by Jukka Mattila and Ilari Hannula.

Status update:
Hotfix 1.01
- Reworked the screen shake,
- Limited the amount of created particles.
There is now less lag/stutter caused by these features.
- Possibly fixed multiple music track playing simultaneously, (I have not had this issue so far).
Keep the feedback coming and I will do my best to fix any issues!
- I am fixing the other known / emerging launch issues as part of the larger patch 1.1, coming later this month.
Note: scaling to higher resolution screens can be very slow with html5 based games.
- On Windows 64bit platform, It is recommended to use the 720p or 900p launch options.
- On other platforms, if you have any slowdown issues, I recommend manually lowering the display resolution.
(I will do my best to arrange a similar resolution lowering launch options to other platforms as well for the 1.1 patch).
