Nice! The first million is the hardest.
What was your final high score?
I didn't play too much after that - had to run off and do something else. I couldn't tell if I was getting more powerups because of the increased enemy spawn, or because the per-enemy drops became more frequent, but I feel like I could have gone longer than I'd like to play overall. It doesn't have an ending, does it?
Nope, it's endless!
Thank you for playing it! I intended that pickups become less frequent as time goes on, but I think there's a bug where that's reversed.
you helped me a lot in learning tic80, so I played I’m playing your games. This one is very good and addictive
