🔁 Changes
Changed all in-game menus to move the selection cursor automatically when holding the 'Up' or 'Down' buttons
'Up'/'Down' must be held for a minimum duration before auto-scroll begins
The same auto-scroll delay also applies to all Track Select menus, resulting in a slightly longer initial delay but a much faster continued scroll rate
Changed practice mode to allow taking damage
Missing a monster in practice mode will decrease the HP counter as if the track was played normally
Reaching zero HP in practice mode does not trigger a game over
HP can be decreased past zero, indicating how close the run would have come to clearing the song in normal play
Changed MISSed notes to show Early/Late indicators
Requires the E/L indicator option to be enabled in the accessibility settings
Enabling this setting also causes MISSed notes to be indicated in Practice Mode
Reverted Vibe Chain changes from Beta v1.7.1 based on feedback from the beta build
Food items must once again be hit in order to complete the Vibe Chain
Wyrms must once again be fully held in order to complete the Vibe Chain
If you've been playing on the stable branch, you shouldn't notice any difference
