What a great conversion. It's difficult though - the alien shots are a bit too accurate. At least there's a new life every (?) 10,000 points.

Gold star - thoroughly deserved.

Thanks. And spot on with the 10000 for an extra life.

Wow this is a hard game!

I'd really like to hold down fire for autofire so that I don't have to hammer my keys.

I know what you mean. It’s pretty hard on the keyboard but I think auto fire would be too out of character of the original. And yes, it’s a very hard game. Most of my testing involved giving myself infinite lives since I’m such an average gamer 😀

Too bad the game resets my score when I have reached 100K...

Awesome play-through. I think it’s just that I only display 6 digits and you’ve scored over 1 million. Thought I was pretty safe. Didn’t expect anyone to be that good 🤩😂
