We have plans to add a new batch of achievements into Touhou Hero of Ice Fairy, but a lot of players have already collected all the achievements in the game, so we'd like to gather your input!

• These new achievements will mostly be related to Hero Mode as well as some miscellaneous fun things.

• Those who have already unlocked the "A Hero's Heart" achievement will NOT have it taken away.

  (A Hero's Heart: Collected all other achievements)

• We'll make sure the new achievements aren't impossibly difficult to obtain.

This update contains many improvements and optimizations to the game in preparation for DLC2, coming this winter!

• Fixed an issue where restarting the first elevator fight in the Rose Idol DLC could mess up the game's logic.
