Summary
Added [Practice Mode]
Improved Visibility
Improved Controls and Frame Stability
Hello, this is the SnakeEagle team.
In this update, we have added [Practice Mode] and improved visibility and frame stability.
We took some extra time to carefully polish these changes, and we truly appreciate your patience.
Thanks to your continued support, the game has made significant progress compared to its initial version,
and we believe it has now reached a solid level of overall polish.
Your reviews and feedback mean a great deal to us and give us tremendous motivation.
We will continue listening closely to your suggestions as we move forward,
and we are now preparing to begin full-scale development of Stage 3.
Thank you, as always :)
[Practice Mode]
Practice Mode is permanently unlocked for stages on difficulties you have already cleared.
In Practice Mode, several convenience features are applied, such as no life consumption, automatic dialogue skip, and instant pause.
There are two types: “Practice Mode,” which starts from the beginning of a stage and allows you to update your best record, and “Boss Practice Mode,” which lets you start directly from boss battles without affecting your record.
[Visibility Improvements]
Platforms that can be stepped on and items have been adjusted to be more clearly visible.
Improved visual distinction for reflected projectiles and enemies.
Overall visibility in Stage 2 has also been improved.

Increased the drop rate of fake hearts slightly at the end of Nana boss fight Phase 2 on Easy and Normal
1.4e Update (04/22)
Player
Improved “Upward Jump Attack” so that height gain is maintained for a short time even if the jump button is not continuously held
Stage 2
Nana Boss Fight Phase 2: Adjusted some patterns on Easy–Normal to match the updated controls
Previously, both “Jump Attack” and “Upward Jump Attack” required the jump button to be held continuously in order to maintain height. However, more players than expected overlooked this, which made it difficult to destroy objects placed within reachable height and unintentionally increased the difficulty.
To address this, “Upward Jump Attack” has been adjusted so that height is maintained for a short duration even without holding the jump button.
On the other hand, “Jump Attack” remains unchanged, still requiring the jump button to be held, allowing players to control their height more precisely depending on the situation.
If you have any feedback on these changes, feel free to share it with us anytime.
*If the update has been applied correctly, “v1.4e” will be displayed at the bottom-right of the title screen. If not, please restart Steam and launch the game again.
