Here's what's changed from the demo and my thoughts:

The wonder stones are way less tanky now and die quicker. This makes them useful instead of an annoyance in stages and boss fights now. They're basically needed because the game is VERY hard, so manage your resources well!

I still find the patterns a bit bland and uninteresting, but they're very fun to dodge. Toyohime's are my favourites, even if they're like impossible for me XP. Speaking of Toyohime, I'm very surprised she's here! I never expected somebody THAT powerful to be in a game and be fightable.

Regarding the music, I'm still kinda disappointed. Most of the tracks don't really pump me up or leave an impression on me. Stages 1-3's themes have grown on me, stage 4 and the boss' theme are also interesting and good, but not THAT good. Stage 6 and the boss' are VERY disappointing for me. They don't feel climactic at all and the melodies are a bit dissonant. ZUN's mixing and sound quality has definitely gotten better, but I can't say the same for the music in this game sadly, because I think it's the weakest OST in the franchise. Stage 5 and it's boss' theme and the extra stage and it's boss' theme are standouts for me. They actually feel melodious and manage to give me adrenaline. I especially love the flutes in the extra stage that kick in when Asama uses her first spell, they're very pretty.

The misaligned hitbox on some bullets bug is still present, so that's stupid :(

I wanted to try doing a 1CC lunatic, but it's like IMPOSSIBLE for me. The English patch has been released, so I'll post the lunatic 1CC and extra stage with the English patch enabled IF I ever get to it. This may change, but that's the plan for now.
