Bug Fixes and Adjustments
【Unplayable Bug Fix】
Fixed an issue where skipping dialogue before the Stage 4 Boss battle by holding the button and releasing it during the final line prevented the boss battle from starting.
【Boss Durability Adjustments】
The Stage 4 Boss and the second phase of the Stage 6 mid-boss were too weak. We have adjusted their HP and the player's shot power accordingly.
【Confetti Randomization Adjustment】
Confetti during Stage 3's mid-section was biased towards the right side. This has been corrected to spread evenly across both sides.
【Item Spawn Fix】
Fixed an error where Graze items (green particles) were mistakenly spawning in place of Score items (light blue diamonds).
【Image Optimization】
Changed the image format for bullet patterns used by the initial attacks of the Stage 5 Boss and EX Boss from PNG to JPG to reduce file size.
【Graze Hitbox Enhancements】
Increased the number of enemies and bullets with Graze hitboxes.
【Volume Adjustment】
Decreased the title screen's background music volume by 10%.
【Easy Mode Interval Tweaks】
Adjusted certain patterns in Easy Mode where bullets took too long to start or had overly long shot intervals.
【How to Update】
If you open Steam for the first time that day:
In your Steam library, the usual green "Play" button for Ad SHOOt will turn into a blue "Update" button. Click it to proceed. You may also see "Installing" or "Downloading" as the update progresses automatically.
If your PC and Steam are already running:
Restart your PC, close Steam via Task Manager, or log out of your Steam account and log back in to refresh your library. The green "Play" button will then change to a blue "Update" button as described above.
Note: Clicking the "×" in the top-right corner of Steam does not fully close the application.
