OMG I got in the 50,000's! I felt like the difficulty didn't ramp up nearly as quickly, it might have been a glitch, or maybe I've just gotten better. The dole shooting ships came in at around 40,000.
WOW! Excellent work! I think I need you in my next beta There is a fifth variety of ship with three guns, did you encounter him in your epic 50k journey? I never got to him except for when I tested him outside of the regular game progression. Anyway, I guess I have to get to 60k now ...which will be extra challenging, actually, because the current build of the game is a little bit harder in the upper levels (more simultaneous ships)... heheh.
The original bonus contest is over, but I added a second bonus: a $10 gift card for whoever has the top score at the end of the contest (next Wednesday @ noon).
Well, I doubt I'll have the patience to really surpass 50k, but even if I do, I will award the gift card to my triumphant second placer
I don't think I encountered a three shot, though I was playing so frantically I probably didn't notice. My trick is to not get hurt at all during earlier stages so you have a huge asteroid during the times when it gets harder.
I did both the itunes review and the tweet on twitter. Both usernames are legowiz, as is my TA username. Great game, and I'll try to beat your record for that bonus gift card, haha, I don't think I'll make it though. By the way, could you just post what your score is so I can work on beating it? I don't have wifi right now, so I have no idea how close I am.
I twittered @ unknownalias11, and I'm half-way to fleabag's score lol, so far away... fun game though
tweeted @phattestfatty, would really like a code... spent too much in december from all those new releases and sales
