Happy summer! Here's a patch with more quality of life changes, such as nonspell/boss practice and various bug fixes. We're still hard at work on new content - don't be spooked by it coming in the future.

NEW THINGS

• We've added a new "Practice" menu. This lets you practice nonspells or entire bosses in addition to the usual stage practice and spell practice.
  
• Added a display of how many times you've died/bombed/used Discord. This can be turned off in the options.
  
• Clearing the game will earn you a badge in character select. This is per-difficulty and per-character, so if you 1cc Normal Mode with Rin, you'll only see the badge if you pick Normal Mode and Rin again. Master an entire difficulty and you'll get a badge on it for your trouble!
  

BALANCE CHANGES

• Generally reduced the difficulty of Shizuha's second nonspell.
  
• Tokiko does more damage to the fairies in Daiyousei's third nonspell.
  
• Patterns that spawn bullets outside of the screen should spawn them in less "cheap" ways. Examples are some fairies in stage 4 and Shizuha's first spellcard.
  

MISC IMPROVEMENTS

• You now have unlimited continues.
  
• The title for stage 5 now renders under the bullets.
  
• Miscellaneous updates to the Japanese translation.
  
• Jellybean bullets should cause less lag.
  

BUG FIXES

• Bosses now have their magic circles around them again. They lost them in the last update.
  
• Spellcard cutins no longer have a graphic appear at the top left for 1 frame.
  
• Daiyousei can no longer become invisible if killed while teleporting in her first spellcard.
  
• Shizuha's lifebar is now transparent during her Encore Spell.
  

KNOWN ISSUES

• Replays may desync. We've added a warning for this in-game whenever you save a replay, just to be sure people know.
