This will slightly reduce the time required to play through stages. We've added processing to reduce enemy spawn rates on earlier stages.

| Ver.1.8.3 Unified the pause duration during hitstops. | 2025-11-17 | To address an issue where the pause duration varied depending on the play environment during hitstops or pause releases, we added processing to standardize the frames during time stop, ensuring the same pause duration across all environments. |

| Implementation of Close-Range Rapid Fire | 2025-11-08 | When you hit an enemy with your main shot while close to them,the main shot's rate-of-fire restriction is lifted,allowing you to fire rapidly.This restriction lift only applies to the main shot;hitting enemies with your sub-weapon does not trigger it.The rate-of-fire restriction reapplies when you move away from enemies. |

| Ver1.6.0 Fixed behavior of certain sub-weapons, implemented frame rate settings, | 2025-11-05 | Laser and charge shot behavior has been adjusted. Frame rate can now be changed via the options settings. You can choose from four options: No FPS Limit (Highest) 300fps (High) 250fps (Medium) 200fps (Low) The default is (Highest), which utilizes the full performance of your machine to control the frame rate. The other options maintain a frame rate close to their respective values. Lowering the frame rate primarily reduces CPU load, but may cause flickering in scenes with heavy rendering demands, such as fast scrolling. Additionally, regarding the game screen resolution selectable from the options, all resolutions not supported by the game ha |
