Wikipedia has the following to say about the various versions:
Quote:
Yotsubane, the developer of Crimzon Clover, released two trial versions over the development period, and one paid trial at Comiket 78. The game was originally scheduled to come out during Comiket 78, but schoolwork forced Yotsubane to push back the release date.
-Version 0.10 has only one stage and relatively crude graphical and audio quality.
-Version 0.20 has three stages (though the Stage 3 boss is unfinished), as well as a second difficulty level, -Unlimited. Only one stage of Unlimited is available.
-Version 0.30, released during Comiket 78, adds the "Double Break" mechanic (see below) and includes 3 completed stages on Original mode, as well as 2 stages on Unlimited and two stages on a new difficulty, Simple. It also adds more items to the game shop, including the ability to skip various scenes and restart the game more quickly, and a second ship type.
-Version 1.00, released during Comiket 79 and available through Toranoana online shopping and various independent retailers, contains 5 stages and two sequential true last bosses for all 3 difficulties. It also adds level practice and unlockable music pieces that can be accessed through the "Sound Test" option in the main menu.
-Version 1.01 adds replay support and western-style score display (referred to as "World") while fixing various bugs, including a scrolling bug that allowed for the duplication of the fifth boss and spawning of the second boss during the final boss fight.
Note: A screenshot on Yotsubane's blog shows a version labeled 0.40. Differences between this and 0.30 are unknown.
Apparently 0.30 also never changed the extends, so lol 1000000000 lives. But the important thing is the v1.01 bugfixes.
(that there arcade version has a nice choice of fonts)
edit: Oh yeah, anyone know how to open these .jojo files? The printed album is actually missing at least one track (stage clear) and v0.20 has some tracks of its own (old title and early stage 1 at least), so I'd like to make a giant rip (for myself; a big public rip probably isn't going to be kosher, so it'd just be the unique/missing tracks as a sort of "add-on" to the album).
