How do I unlock more stories?[]
You play the story by unlocking more story points via lessons! 10ap lessons give 100 story points, 20ap lessons give 200 story points and so on.
Where are the other characters from the original game?[]
They will be added in the future! Etoile Stage is a complete reset of the I-chu storyline, however it follows the same story beats, so they will be added eventually!
Troubleshooting[]
I'm trying to download the game but it says my device is incompatible?[]
The game requires 2GB of RAM and a 64-bit processor, for iOS, this is supported by devices released including and after iPhone 5S, for Android you will have to check your phones specs yourself to see if they meet these requirements.
Can you play on emulator?[]
As of right now there are no emulators that can support 64-bit games reliably, so unfortunately no.
So there's no way I can play?[]
Unfortunately no, unless you get a new device or they'll decide to change this in the future.
The game doesn't register my taps on the title screen, I can't get in![]
Try making sure that your connection is secure, otherwise this is a bug we currently have no fix for.
My game is frozen past the title screen![]
This is a common bug for people who live in a timezone ahead of JST, to fix this you must change your timezone to JST (or below, but JST is highly recommended).
HELP I can't play the daily lessons?[]
Daily lessons show that they are open based on your device time, but when you try and play that the game will know that they should not be open, so it will kick you out. To fix this change your device time to JST, or wait til midnight your time.
Shop[]
I want to buy some jewels, do they accept foreign debit/credit cards?[]
Yes, for android devices you can link your credit card or Paypal through the Google Play store, and for iOS devices you have to purchase a Japanese iTunes card and add it to your Japanese iTunes account balance.
