As you may have noticed there is a bird after 5th one, but nothing changes after 10th. Although I think thugs might be faster and more aggressive. Basically what happened I managed to survive with all guys till the 5th level and then I started loosing them at about guy per level, that's why I got to 11th.
Let me address some other issue I've missed though...

I'm entering some off topic angry territory, but I still don't get the love affair with Galaga, and there is NO WAY that Bosconian is B or C grade. It's on par if not BETTER than that borefest that is Galaga!

Uh oh. You're one of those kids. Hehn hehn hehn hehn. I just now went and played it...I was surprised I still had it.....and it's not that bad. It's a B game. (I swear the one I played was 4-way movement!....I dunno....) It and Galaga are different kinds of games. Galaga is a little more elegant, is a mature shooter, and is arguably a Classic game. I don't play it often, though.

Alright, I'm done. Got a little closer but that is a heck of a score from Mimic. Even with the hint about jump kicking I still couldn't improve much.

What can I say. I had that one perfect game! Where even mistakes seemed like they were in my favor (mostly unintentional jumps upwards or sometimes to side.)
I think it's safe to assume there will be no other submissions, therefore final tally is as follow:
mimic - 337,300
kixfan - 213,300
popsicle - 106,900
jasonbar - mumbled something about ~74K
kix, you picking the next game!
