Despre acest joc

Overview

Battle Marine is a simple naval barrage STG.

Enjoy a somewhat retro yet new and exhilarating game experience by firing a barrage of shots, inducing explosions, sweeping with powerful lasers, and automatically collecting medals (recovery and score) by jumping.

Destroying enemies consecutively within a certain time frame will result in a HIT combo. Aim for 999 HITs!

Your rank will be assessed according to the results of your play. Aim for the rank of FLEET ADMIRAL!

Controls

Press and hold the B button to charge the laser, and release it when the charge is maxed out to fire the laser.

Detailed Gameplay

• When you destroy an enemy, a green or yellow medal will appear.

• Taking the green medal will restore your LIFE.

• Your score will increase if you take a yellow medal.

• If you keep defeating enemies within a certain time (120 frames), your combo will increase and medals will be collected automatically when you reach 100 HITs or more.

• Medals are also automatically collected by jumping.

• You are invincible during the laser (after the firing motion is complete).

• Unlike normal STGs, explosions also have hit points.

• If you keep collecting green medals while your LIFE is full, the yellow medal's base points will continue to increase.

• The number of crowns at the bottom of the screen will increase for every 16 green medals you take while your LIFE is full.

• The maximum number of crowns displayed is 30 (480 green medals), but the maximum number of crowns is 4,095 (65,535 green medals).

• When you collide with enemy bullets, your LIFE will be reduced and the number of crowns will be strongly reduced.

• With the exception of some enemies (crabs), yellow medals will appear when enemies are killed by lasers.

• Obtaining a medal also resets the combo duration to 120 frames
