Wiki is on 1.1 version, plz update.

The following wiki is now outdated thanks to active support of the dev.

Changelog (since ver. 2.0): (copied verbatim from https://zakichi.itch.io/kaikan) (data in [] are my own notes)

壊漢-KAIKAN-ver2.0 changes

  • Changed the amount of item rank reduction on item drops [This is a BIG one: When you drop a medal, you no longer drop all the way to G rank. Instead missing a medal will cause rank drop by one stage and activates a penalty counter. If this penalty counter is non-zero, medals decreae that counter, but they DO NOT contribute to rank gauge.


Penalty counter

Rank drop Penalty counter
A -> B 100
B -> C 90
C -> D 80
D -> E 70
E -> F 60
F -> G 50

Note that dropping medal at rank G do not trigger penalty counter, merely empties the gauge. Bomb gauge is not affected by this. ]

  • Stage select feature added
  • Changed the TLB Count (score multiplier) value to match the remaining Count after defeating the stage 5 boss
  • Updated the display indicator for off-screen items [Instead of big arrows, there's this: [1] ]


  • Reduced the hitbox of the player ship

[Unlisted change: fixed replay bug?]

壊漢-KAIKAN-ver2.1 changes:

There were requests that the player hitbox be restored to its previous size, so for ver2.1, only the hitbox has been reverted to its original specs.

I don't think it'd be good for people to be competing for scores using a mix of different builds, so the game now clearly displays the version notation in-game and on the rankings screen.

Ver2.0 also remains available, as I figure there may be some demand for that version from those who aren't quite so skilled at shooting games.

壊漢-KAIKAN-ver2.2 changes:

Bomb gauge fix [Fixes the double bomb on game start (Bomb on stock, empty gauge)]

壊漢-KAIKAN-ver2.3 changes:

  • Change score limit (counter stop?)
  • Changed to reset the score in continuous play (score no longer persists between credits)
  • [Version removed due to a bug fixed in 2.4]

壊漢-KAIKAN-ver2.4 changes:

  • Fixed an issue where the score, which should go up to 1 billion, accidentally goes up to 10 billion.

Missing or inaccurate data

From: 更に詳しい説明.txt --DEEPL Translation--

  • Dimmed medals (fail to suck them once) DO NOT contribute to score or gauge when sucked up again. They will do so only when manually collecting them.
  • Bomb range increase happens only at rank A.
  • When using bomb, dimmed and red medals will automatically be sucked and function as if they weren't sucked at all (as bright medals).
  • Bomb medals contribute to item counter as follows:
Rank Bomb Item Count
A 10
B 5
C 4
D 3
E 2
F 1
G 0


  • Rank A bonus: When at rank A the game passively adds 10 pts per frame (60FPS). This goes up to 20 pts per frame if bomb is in stock.
