-Step by Step mode - move the game one frame at a time with left or right when highlighting this. You can also hold left or right to continue moving through frames, and you can hold up/down and shoot while holding left or right.

7.86.1

*Pre-Game menu! Now it is very easy to activate many of the new options available, such as:
**1x/2x/4x Model size
**Rainbow Laser
**Disable Enemy Fire
and no need to memorize Endurance run, Level secrets, Scored Edition or god mode code! They are on the menu as well.

*New Game+ Mode! Activate by pressing START after credits roll and THE END shows. Weapon damage reduced from 4/5 damage for laser/beam ball to 1/2 damage and nuke is reduced from 8 to 3 damage. Prof hangar's health regeneration has been slowed down to accommodate this.

*2 Player CPU Mode! That authentic 2 player experience with a cpu as your teammate.

*Fixed sound font issues! Now enjoy the full BGM test, Boss BGM test, and endurance runs without any strange instruments and sounds happening!

*Added BGM/SFX counters to the title screen - L/R for BGM tests, A/B for SFX tests

*Added BGM titles to the title screen

*Boss BGM test improved - Descriptions of the songs played, instructions on how to proceed to next scene, additional boss bgms have been added as well! Space fanfare now also plays properly! And finally, sound FX have been disabled during the boss BGM test to allow crisp playback of the music. View changes and helper balls have also been disabled for this mode.

*Many, many misc bug fixes and improvements to both 1 and 2 player modes.
