Got some bugs to report:
- In rainbow mode, when I first hit an enemy with a bullet, the screen goes entirely dark. Though it seems that if I keep shooting and manage to clear the current enemy wave the screen returns.
- In the Simulacrum, some shade waves clear themselves when I defeat one of their members. Specially in the step in which I have to try to use core bombing. I can’t tell what might be provoking it.
- I was mashing buttons to skip through the dialogue to see if the bug repeated itself and a little empty dialogue window appeared in the top left corner. Don’t know if it has anything to do with the mashing but just noting it anyway.
- When I died against Chartreuse in a duel, my score was ranked #4 despite the above scores all being 0. In my next attempts against Chartreuse, my score always displayed in 4th place. The normal mode has working score ranking, I think.
- Also, the statistics displayed misaligned - the column with the data info (“bullets grazed, blts cleared, bursts fired,” etc.) starts in the fourth line under “STATISTCS” while the numbers themselves start on the second (“lines” if we pretend it’s a table which I don’t know whether they are). The info column also has a line skip between blts cleared and bursts fired but the number column doesn’t have any skip.
- And when I came back to the title after the duel and selected Simulacrum again, the cursor was over an invisible option under Prism Duel with the description of the Tutorial option.
- I don’t know if it’s actually a bug or not but, in the Compendium, the Twilight member with an entry is Twilight Haze, when I’ve only fought Twilight Snow.
- Also in the compendium, above the Prism Ring entry there’s a locked entry that supposedly unlocks when I beat the demo even though I’ve beaten it with all the characters in Normal mode. Oh and I didn’t unlock Hardcore mode either even though it’s not saying that it’s a full game feature.
- Not a bug, but a small suggestion: when I arrive at the boss, sometimes the Prism is in the lower part of the screen and the dialogue window covers her. Maybe reposition her when the dialogue starts?
Anyway, I really liked the demo. I really like the individual abilities, and I love the variation of the dialogue for each of the girls. I love how more direct Chaffron is, the others are “we are going to defeat you!!” and Chaffron is “I Am Going To Kill You” paired with, indeed, Death Laser Beam. I like to think she’s also trans, “not anymore. I’m Saffron now”, “Chiffon is already dead”, there’s something there right. Also, there’s an evil girl prince which rocks. I really enjoy getting to know the context further through the compendium.
Good luck with the full release!
