Had an absolute miracle game of this this morning (for me anyway). Literally with each level I couldn't believe I'd made it through.

A couple of goes today, on a game I didn't really fancy playing again.

I do slightly disagree with what ManiacMiner said, in that it's not as easy as waiting around for the enemies to drop off the bottom of the screen and reappear in the centre; sometimes they stick around just under your ship and force you into the corner, then they go into kamikaze mode and try their best to ram you.

This has been my experience too.

High Score Tables Updated for Season 21, Round 3......

For someone like me, this game grew on me a bit, most likely because I was still struggling to have a perfect score for at least 2 rounds to boost my score. However, it can get stale after a while.

Well, we have a winner and that is, with a nice score of over 90k Venger . Congratulations on an excellent score and win Venger. =D> =D>

On a side note I'd like to thank all those who played this round. We had 11 playing this game this round so.....Thank you!!! It seems we are mostly averaging out at 11 so this participation is average.

As usual please check to ensure I've not missed anyone's scores because it's easy to miss things on this and I really don't want to do that for anyone's hard earned score.

I guess I painted a rosy picture of "easy", what I meant was to suggest that letting the alien reappear and knowing where it is going to reappear is often better than pursuing it when it starts to descend below you. Nice win BTW 8)

Thanks :) . On to Mr. Ee now. I can remember this being quite difficult in the latter stages, last time. Never really got to grips with it.
