Love this game even though I'm rubbish at it, doesn't look like anyone else has been playing this recently, unless you're just not posting your scores.

Running on a icade 60in1 board.

Thanks mate :) I seem to have hit a scoring Plato atm.

I've worked out the patterns for collecting the lit bombs for about the first dozen or so levels. I can do the first 6 levels fairly consistently then from level 7 onwards it's very hit an miss as to how many lit bombs I'm able to collect, the enemies are just too fast for me :palm:

Looking forward to seeing some scores buddy :)

I think I would have done a lot better but I lost two lives in quick succession on round 16 after braking my stools foot rest through excitement :palm:

Would have been nice to pass the 800K mark but still really pleased with the score :)
