What if you get yourself into a spiral? Then once it ends, you're just stuck there since you can't go over the same part twice.

There would be no getting stuck. You'd just slap yourself in the forehead and say "How could I be so stupid!" and start the next round. Crashing of any type would end the round, but not kill you. Only touching the bad guy would kill you. The motivation not to crash is that you get more points the longer you can keep from crashing, plus, your enemy will get faster in future rounds.

OK, I get what you're trying to say. I'll try and program that in.

[atari2600land]

There. It's programmed in. The game is much more harder than it used to be though. I also had to get rid of the attract mode.

That's almost right, except you don't have the player crash when he hits the border. The player could get stuck that way. Once you fix it so the player crashes when he hits the border, that part will be perfect.

Here's a version where you can crash into the border.

Thanks. That's better. Now we have to get more people to try it and see what they think.

If you die on the right hand side of the screen and the enemy is on the right hand side, you have a greater risk to crash into it. In this version, I changed it. If you die on the right hand side of the screen, the enemy will appear on the left-hand side.

Cool. If you have the space, you could have the player randomly start at one of the 4 corners at the beginning of a round and have the enemy appear on the opposite side.

Added. By the way, I'll have to come up with a new name for this game since Project X is already taken by something else.

Added a 505-point bonus if you fill in all the squares in a level. Also did some minor tweaks to the score. By the way, there's a contest to name this game here. I have <600 bytes left.
