Hello pilots!

A new update is now available, with some fixes and new features:

• Start over from scratch with the Extras > Player > New Game button. This will clear all of your unlocks and completion, leaving only your high scores.
  
• Use the Restore Progress button to bring back all of your unlocks, combining them with anything new you've unlocked since starting over.
  
• Basic text input for gamepads that isn't dependent on the Steam Big Picture overlay.
  
• Launch arguments to support arcade cabinet style setups. (Hide the options menu, custom button icons, etc) No documentation yet, but let me know if this is of interest to you and I can put some together.
  
• Secrets?

Additionally there have been some major updates the last few years that went without an announcement, so here I go:

• High refresh rate support! Set the desired framerate in the settings for smoother and more responsive gameplay. Note that raising this setting does increase CPU demand quite a bit, slow PCs may see better performance staying at 60hz.
  
• Steam Input rebinding and button icons, plus quality of life improvements like only rumbling the controller if you're using it.

Hi all,

We have a performance update for everyone which improves light effects and background effects. Things should be much smoother for more players now.

As always thanks for playing!

Hey all,

Sorry to everyone who had issues with the game crashing with HTTP error messages or not getting the online features.

There was an issue with a server update we made a while back that slipped by our own testing. It should be fixed on the server, no update is needed.

Special thanks to the players posting on the discussion board for helping us with this issue. Yes. We do read those boards regularly, even a year after the game has released.

We know Hangeki isn't the biggest and most popular game out there, so we really appreciate the support from the community.

We've addressed several issues with game stability in the latest patch. Be sure to double-check to make sure you're on the latest version.

If you downloaded an update sometime last week, you should be good to go.

Hey all,

We've received numerous messages about technical problems with the latest game update. Sorry about that! We're in the middle of updating our engine, so please hang on with us as we work through the issues to modernize the game a bit.

In the meantime, we've found one of the main culprits of crashes are the 3D backgrounds. Going into the graphics options to disable the 3D backgrounds should greatly increase stability.

Thanks for your patience with us, and we'll be rolling out several incremental updates in the week to come. Keep posting any crashes or bugs you find and we'll do our best to fix em.

Mostly optimizations this time, but we've added a new mechanic to hopefully clarify the purpose of the "Hangeki" more.

Using the "Hangeki" now causes enemies to drop coins. These coins have diminished value.

We've noticed many players hold on to the "Hangeki" in hopes of getting more coins by doing so. This is never a good strategy as the small amount of extra meter you gain by doing so is offset by the meter decay that happens when not hitting enemies.

But don't worry, the amount of meter you'll end up with throughout the level is about the same since the "Hangeki" coins have reduced value, ( basically the amount you would have obtained if you manually cleared the wave with meter decay taken into account ).

Full list of changes are below:

• Using the "Hangeki" now causes enemies to drop coins. These coins have diminished value.
  
• Brighter moon in Nebula.
  
• Global scores load things more intelligently.
  
• Level assets are preloaded in the menu. So mid-level stutters should no longer happen.
  
• 3D assets are no longer loaded for 2D mode.
  
• Score loading will no longer overload the connection with too many requests.
  
• Minor graphical bug fixes.
