    I can't believe some of the scores on this game - It's been a fun challenge!
    (I kind of hate the Death Pretzel waves, but overall it's a fun game)

    How? How is that even possible? Are we living amongst a shooter god? How is someone physically capable of achieving a score so high?
    In all seriousness, @socrates63, amazing score. Great job.

    I have been playing the heck out of this one - and I finally got an improvement worth posting.
    I feel like I have a sound strategy (split the non-shooting demons into bats, then go after the shooting demon.  Once she is spit, go after the non-shooting bat partner.  When she starts descending - shoot as many bats as possible to keep them from turning into shooters.  Once a demon makes it to the lowest level - repeat.)
    Now I just need to work on my aim!

    Another personal best for me.  My aim is getting better and my strategy seems solid.  My main problem is I get overconfident with shooting the bats as they dive towards me instead of just dodging them.  The vast majority of lives lost is trying to hit bats as they dive.

    Feels like Friday today for some reason, and I was able to muster better focus. Game on 🕹️🕹️
    The game doesn't appear to ramp up in difficult after a certain point, so it becomes a matter of sustained focus. I  mentioned this before but an important strategy is to avoid the demon raining down the laser/bullets and go after the other demons. I have to remind myself not to engage the weaponized demon if possible and go after the others. As part of that strategy, when the weapon demon splits into two, go after the one that is not firing. Eliminating that one will cause the weaponized demon to dive, and it's a double win. You minimize exposure to demon fire, and get extra points for eliminating the weaponized demon once it starts to dive.
    I need to get some awesome PJ or lounge pants. Shorts and bare legs are so bleh when it's autumn 🍂🍁

    Here's my setup. Sitting so close to the screen has revealed some amazing sounds.

    The one annoying thing about Demon Attack is that there is no pause. You finish one wave, and the next starts like in 0.5 seconds.
    But the most annoying thing is when you die in the middle of the screen, and the demon that killed you is still sitting on top of you when you new cannon appears. I died 2 or 3 times in like a 2 second span.

    Just a warning, I talk about some sensitive things in this one. Some how it became a PSA about suicide awareness and prevention. It is what it is. LOL

    It seems like only last week we were playing Galaxian...
    Demon Attack's a fun one, though. These Squad Challenges are great for making me replay old games that I haven't touched in a while or don't remember too fondly. Or just introducing me to new ones in general. But anyways, Demon Attack. It's good. I'm seriously considering taking @Atari Creep up on his offer.
    Speaking of the Creep, I'm working on your Haunted House Adventure game for ya, man.
