Thanks so much for this bigass thoughtful comment! I'm glad all the stuff I tried very hard to do well came across.
There will be more Lexy/Cerise interactions, don't worry — more than in the original, by far — but there'll be a bit more lead-up to it this time around. :)
Thanks for telling me about this..... very strange "exploit"... that relates to a bug I'd been meaning to paper over anyway. It should no longer work. ;) There is a way to get the Manifest Destiny star legitimately! It's just, you know, hard.
There was a bug that caused 100% runs to not be acknowledged if you'd also done the arcade! Sorry, should be fixed in the new build I just put up.
