STAGE 1#

In the earliest version of the demo, Cirno uses Freeze Sign "Freeze Actress" as her Hard and Lunatic midboss spellcard. However, it is replaced by Frost Sign "Frost Columns" by v.0.05 of the demo until the final release.

The cyan bullets Letty fires during her Cold Sign "Lingering Cold" spellcard were green in the early demos. This change is possibly to make her bullets match her theme. It is completely absent from the Trial Plus demo.

Chen does not fire circle bullet rings to complement her triangle volleys on her midboss non-spell and boss non-spell attacks in the later demos.

Specifically: does spell 2 actually have less life? the lifebars aren't exactly to scale

Puppeteer Sign "Marionette Parrar" was Alice's midboss card on Easy and Normal difficulties during her second encounter in the earliest demo, before replaced by Puppeteer Sign "Manipulate Puppet". By the last demo before the final version, she does not have any midboss cards for Easy and Normal difficulties; she only has Puppeteer Sign "Maiden's Bunraku" for Hard and Lunatic difficulties.

In early demos, Alice's second non-spell is a different pattern, with timer set to 43 seconds. In the later demos and the final version, it has seemingly no health, and a timer set to 98 seconds, although it automatically ends after 5 seconds, regardless of whether the player actually shoots Alice or not.

The second spellcard's patterns are much more denser and have a shorter life than the final's full bar.
