Ephemeral Entertainment HQ - EUB Steam Release August 16th 2019!!!
Inubashira:
The game looks beautiful so far, but I have some thing to report.
1. The loading screens lag a bit for me. Could be my computer isn't the best, though.
2. I keep have this slightly annoying bug happen to me. After you defeat a boss/mid-boss the main shot still shoots the area the were in. Sometimes it goes away after a few seconds, others it takes going to a new stage/getting to the boss. It's just distracting.
3. I only had this happen to me when I paused during the beginning stage, right the power up sounds happened. The options decided they didn't want to work and I could only use my main shot, and died.
4. When you use a replay, the music overlaps with the title screen's. Well, that's one way to have a remix, I guess. :3
My apologies if I sound a little whinny or nit-picky.
Here's my replay: http://www.mediafire.com/download/sylk800gr2e1j7x/Ephemeral_Unnatural_Balance_replay01.dat
PS: The replay is awful because I'm bad at Touhou and I'm sleepy. Good night~! (or whatever time it is where you're living.)

This will inevitably happen to most computers, I find. The game is simply loading very large assets in quick succession. Better it happen in that loading screen than in the middle of the game though. Most of the time the lag does not cause the program to stop responding at least.

This is a known issue and has proven very difficult to pin down and fix. I had actually thought I had fixed it numerous times already.

This is an extremely rare bug that I've only encountered once myself. If you have a replay of it happening, I might be able to figure out what causes it.

Looks like I overlooked this, my bad.

Absolutely not! They're all valid concerns and I'll be working on them all.
Thanks for the replay too, watching replays gives me extra insight on seeing how the average player approaches patterns so that I can hopefully better balance or design them. If any of you have any replays to share, please do not hesitate to.

In my replay, it should happen right at the third stage. Keep in mind that I paused it right as it was giving me my power, which MIGHT have interrupted the process, though this is just a guess.
Lollipop:
The game is great and I can't wait for the full release, however stage 3 midboss Aya has a few cheapshots, and stage 3 as a whole is MUCH harder than Stage 1 or 2. (could just be me)

It has been a common consensus among players that Stage 3 is too overbearing. Therefore, Stage 3 is on the chopping block for nerfs, the whole of Momiji and Aya in particular. In addition, I plan to give the player an indirect buff in the form of making Discord less punishing to use for the purposes of survival.
