Key points
- Updated re-release of the PC version with more graphical options and bugfixes.
- Game speed is tied to framerate, meaning slowdowns on lower end machines and speedups with high refresh-rate displays.
- Some of the Japanese voices are used even when the game is set to English; e.g. Purge's laugh in Stage 4.

- Old save file is compatible with newer version of the game, but save game data location has been changed; simply copy save file from previous location to newer one.

Anisotropic filtering (AF) | |||
Anti-aliasing (AA) | FXAA. | ||
Vertical sync (Vsync) | Vsync can cause the timing to go slightly "off" occasionally, making the game harder. Using Fast Sync in Nvidia Control Panel seems to fix the problem. | ||
60 FPS and 120+ FPS | Frame rate is capped at half the refresh rate (e.g. 30 FPS on a 60 Hz monitor). 60 FPS requires a 120 Hz monitor. Playing the game above 60 Hz will cause the game to play too fast and mess up timings (as above, Fast Sync may improve things). Ulala's Dance mode will play fine above 30 FPS. | ||
High dynamic range display (HDR) | See the glossary page for potential alternatives. |
