Three for the Slash! Thrust! Burn!:Game mechanics

Title screen
The options on the title screen are:


 * はじめから - Start a new game
 * つづきから - Continue from an auto-saved game (only available if save file exists)
 * ふつうにつづきから - Normal load
 * ぬるめでつづきから - Load game with decreased difficulty (only available after game over)
 * おわる - Quit

The decreased difficulty effect stacks so if you keep dying and pick that option, the game will progressively get easier.
