Bug Fixes and Adjustments

【Unplayable Bug Fix】

Fixed an issue where skipping dialogue before the Stage 4 Boss battle by holding the button and releasing it during the final line prevented the boss battle from starting.

【Boss Durability Adjustments】

The Stage 4 Boss and the second phase of the Stage 6 mid-boss were too weak. We have adjusted their HP and the player's shot power accordingly.

【Confetti Randomization Adjustment】

Confetti during Stage 3's mid-section was biased towards the right side. This has been corrected to spread evenly across both sides.

【Item Spawn Fix】

Fixed an error where Graze items (green particles) were mistakenly spawning in place of Score items (light blue diamonds).

【Image Optimization】

Changed the image format for bullet patterns used by the initial attacks of the Stage 5 Boss and EX Boss from PNG to JPG to reduce file size.

【Graze Hitbox Enhancements】

Increased the number of enemies and bullets with Graze hitboxes.

【Volume Adjustment】

Decreased the title screen's background music volume by 10%.

【Easy Mode Interval Tweaks】

Adjusted certain patterns in Easy Mode where bullets took too long to start or had overly long shot intervals.
