Corona

Corona, operating under the name Corona Labs Inc., is a software publisher whose portfolio has historically revolved around lightweight, cross-platform development tools for mobile applications and 2D games. Its flagship technology, the Corona SDK, enabled rapid prototyping and deployment of iOS and Android titles through a Lua-based scripting layer that abstracted native APIs for graphics, audio, physics, social features, and monetization services. Typical use cases spanned casual puzzle games, educational apps, interactive e-books, and business prototypes that demanded short iteration cycles without sacrificing runtime performance. Over time the codebase evolved into the open-source Solar2D project, carrying forward the same philosophy of friction-free builds, live device testing, and plugin marketplace integration while expanding desktop export targets. Developers continue to leverage the engine for jam entries, ad-supported freemium releases, and client work that benefits from a single Lua codebase deploying to phones, tablets, and desktops. Corona’s software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always installing the latest versions and allowing batch installation of multiple applications.
