Our Biggest Priorities
We want to add a "Fast-Forward" (by holding a certain key) to some minigames so that they can be played and progressed through more quickly.
We've noticed some physics inconsistencies in Tatiana's minigame, Kotoba Kyuugi, and are looking to fix this soon.
We've noted that some bottles can get stuck in the path of play in Otogawa's minigame, Okkake no Osakenori, and are looking to fix this soon.
We've noticed that when holding a button to move, then sliding your hand (while still holding the button) to another button occasionally does not allow the player to rotate properly in the dungeon. We are looking to fix in the near future.
We may be able to prepare a Nintendo Switch-specific option that improves graphics for those playing on Nintendo Switch 2.
There are some users still experiencing issues with widescreen play, for example with selectable resolutions not appearing in the dropdown option. Although we were planning to revisit this issue in September, we ended up not having the bandwidth to do so due to the recent launch of the port on Nintendo Switch. We apologize for the inconvenience and plan on looking into this in October.
