    I had a lot of fun with this and I managed to beat my old score I posted elsewhere on here. I got to dig in to a 2600 game I haven't played much. It was a good learning experience for me. And I got to share it with you all.

    Yeah I like the horizontal moving waves MUCH more than the vertical moving waves. the first vertical moving wave seems a bit more challenging over the next few like they are anticipating your shots to dodge them. If you don't put a break in a column it would be really tough to complete the screen, so at least try to get the bottom 3 
    Your ships missiles DON'T have an affect on the energy drain so I'd encourage constant firing 😉 If those guys would have not worried about that and fired at the escape pod in Star Wars IV with the droids aboard their side would have won.

    Once you break 10,000 your score will quickly slide up to 15,000-17,000 and then if you can break 20,000 you'll be on your way to 30,000. It's surprising. Stick with it

    200,180. The last two lives lost were the result of highway robbery by the game itself. That's the nicest way I can describe it without getting an admin warning lol. Wow.
