Until now, the demo featured the lower-performance human protagonist, but starting with this update, a slightly more capable female elf has been introduced as the playable character in the demo. This character has faster movement and attack speeds than the human. The game's speed also changes depending on the game mode. PRACTICE is almost too slow, AVERAGE runs at nor…

There were reports in the thread about the game stuttering during play, so I investigated the issue. To be honest, I wasn’t entirely sure what was causing it, but I made changes to a part that I thought might be related. These changes affect nearly every scene. I’ve tested everything to make sure it works, but since this is a large-scale change, there may be something I overlooked. Also, in res…
Due to an issue in the v1.0.3 clear bonus calculation, we have removed leaderboard entries recorded after completing the game with TOP SPEED ON enabled. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

Unfortunately, a mistake in the v1.0.1 fix introduced another bug that caused the player to take damage immediately upon climbing a ladder, even during normal movement. We sincerely apologize for releasing this update without sufficient testing.
We've found a bug that can unlock the "All Fairies Gathered" achievement even when not all fairies have actually been collected. We believe quite a few players may have already unlocked this achievement because of this bug. Unfortunately, once a Steam achievement has been unlocked, it cannot be removed. We apologize for the confusion. We'd also like to explain the behavior that allows players t…
Regarding the DLC integration, please confirm two things. · Whether it appears under DLC in Properties, and whether "Installed" is checked. · After confirming the DLC checkbox, whether restarting the Steam client makes it take effect.

The music of XeGrader plus was entirely entrusted to Tadahiro Nitta (known for the Xak series). I (Naito) gave no instructions regarding the sound — I only described the atmosphere of each stage. Every proposal Nitta made was adopted as-is. In effect, the sound of this game was directed by Nitta himself. Nitta has a somewhat unusual approach to composition. He first writes each track on PSG, lo…
