Update for Windows

The following update was made to the Windows version only 1) Fixed issue with faster than 60Hz displays. Because the game was always controlled by the vertical synchronization of the screen (V-SYNC), the game would run faster when played on a display with a faster screen refresh interval, such as 144Hz. Note1: The fix is to adjust the timing by V-SYNC as before when the screen refresh interval is 60Hz, and by Sleep in other cases. Note2: This problem should not occur on Linux and macOS because they always use Sleep to adjust timing. 2) Added volume sliders for background music and sound effects. The volume balance of background music and sound effects can now be adjusted by CTRL+V or "Sound" -> "Volume Control" in the menu.

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!

Detailed Gameplay

When you destroy an enemy, a green or red medal will appear.
Taking the green medal will restore your LIFE.
Your score will increase if you take a red 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 red 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), red medals will appear when enemies are killed by lasers.
Obtaining a medal also resets the combo duration to 120 frames
