- The full "options" menu now is accessible from the title screen, including the menus to change the game's controls.
- Several changes to Frikka's boss fight: she has a more obvious "warning" effect before her slash attack. The slash animation is also much slower than it used to be, and she has a larger recovery period before she moves onto a different attack.

- Doubled the base damage dealt by the White Incense's projectile.
- Increased the healing properties of Fee's Blessed Incense from 5% to 10% of your maximum HP.

- Increased the amount of stun damage dealt by parrying special enemies (bosses/some minibosses) from 10% to 30% of their maximum stun resistance.
- Enabled the parry counter against two enemies whose attacks could only be parried, but not countered: the sword-wielding Knight and the curved sword-wielding Witch Sproutling (that's the small enemy with the red shotel-looking weapon).
