Super fun, good retro gameplay.
A few minor display bugs : Life counter goes offscreen when >10, message "press O to continue or X to Ex"... also goes offscreen. Y coordinate for point indicator when killing a "detatched" enemy often not showing where the enemy was killed.
High score should be displayed on title screen and game over screen. Seems it's only displayed when you beat it atm.
