1CCBBH - 723. Mamorukun Curse! (Kinya, 1 Credit Clear)

This game is weird! It's basically more of a time attack vertical run & gun than a traditional shmup. You have a limited amount of time to get through the game before it kicks you into a bad ending, so it makes you feel like you need to be rushing a lot and not engaging with every single enemy in a stage. Trying to find the right balance (and route) took some experimentation before I felt comfortable for 1CC attempts.

When you clear a stage, you have the option to re-fight the boss you just killed at a higher difficulty. This is good for extra points and adding some extra time onto the clock, but it does rank up the difficulty on every stage after that, so I opted not to do that at all. There's also an additional stage that can be played at some point but I didn't do that either. After clearing 4 of the 5 selectable worlds at the start, the game sends you to the final stage/boss. The two phases of the final boss are extremely unconventional.

Despite this game getting a recent re-release called Mamorukun ReCurse on Steam and Switch (no I haven't played it), this game is severely lacking in general information about the ins and outs of the original arcade version. It doesn't even have a page on the Shmups Wiki yet. I've heard tales of ways to break the game in terms of score exploits but no videos on that either. Hopefully we can solve this issue at some point...
