Interesting take on the Space Invaders formula.

I pray to all things good & holy that nobody beats my score on this game, so that I may feel no compulsion to play this game again. Ever.

Man, talk about a mean game... :\

Not until further review...

This is really not my game lol tip get the powerups on level 1 and when down to one last guy just avoid till he gets to the wall and then shoot him. Level 2 is crap don't go for powerups(out of the way of the next guy) and on the boss thing for it just avoid like a shmup eventually he will die. Level 3 isn't that hard the boss reminds me of someone from contra i probably shoulda beat him.
Only got 50,040 gonna try to get higher

unless you have the gun that shoots sideways and up.

which is like never cuz you need two power-ups to get it. I've only seen one power-up on that screen.

[Rathis]

you can in fact kill them while there on the wall if your standing infront of them, but if they get to the point where you stand on the wall your screwed. Instance if 2 guys climb wall at same time and you don't have that gun your fucked if they both made it to climb up the wall. However you can kill one and kill other enemies to get some more points thats about it.
