28k on my first attempt. Fun game though! I'll give it a few more plays and take a screenshot if it's worthy. Nice work on the 107K!

145,160. Couldn't kill the boss even after lobbing like 40 bombs at it.

I really got into this one! If you learn to use the slide it makes a big difference. I got by the first boss by unloading on it with a power weapon. Died on the screen shown, not sure if you can use that canon??

This is a fun one. I love Cabal and Blood Brothers. I wish they all had trackball support like Cabal.

Submitting a score of 252,390!

Final scores.

NuclearWarren      252,390

yamatetsu            145,160

(FrizzleFried         108,340)

pbj                      107,970

wp34                    75,660

mimic                   64,520

vodkatonic            35,320

I think that FrizzleFried's post was too late (not sure about that pacific time thing), so it's pbj's turn again.

...pass to yamatetsu... 2nd place.  I'm swamped at work and with coronavirus and what not having my 10 year old at home is taking up a LOT of my time...
