 Kaikan is a [[doujin]] PC SHMUP released in 2013 by Zakichi, who has released several games under the name ©-kigekiyahonpo-.  The game is inspired by Raizing games where medal collection occurs, but with a focus on vacuum effects on medals instead of needing to collect them by touching them like in a Raizing game.  The game was created solely within STGBuilder and features royalty free music from various artists to fill in the game's soundtrack.
-The game is also on STEAM with it`s versions known as Ver-S. The STEAM port has most mechanics from the original freeware version. The only difference is the changed BGM, brand new effects, different aspect ratio, different screen designs, and Type-E and Type-F are instantly unlocked from the start.

+Item rank will reset to G Rank anytime the player shields, the player loses a life, or when an Enemy Medal flies off the screen at the bottom. As of version 2.0, rather than resetting to G when a medal is dropped, the item rank will go down one grade and collected medals will not contribute to item rank until a set amount of medals are collected (indicated by the "penalty" counter above the item rank display).

-There is a TLB that exists in this game if you clear all stages without wasting a conitiniue.  After beating the TLB, Count becomes ([Remaining Lives x 1000] + 2000).  For example, if you have 4 spare ship stocks showing at the right corner of the screen, you have 5 ship stocks currently and the Count becomes 5000 + 2000 = 7000.

 If a continiue is used before defeating the Stage 5 boss, the TLB will not show up and will show a text saying "Try No Continiue Clear".
