- Hmm... Well, you could sit in the lower-left hand corner, and shoot to the
- right. You'll just keep hitting the bullets that the OT shoots at you, and
- they won't hit you. Do you get points for those bullets?

- I always get stuck at level 100+35 or so. The enemies on that board require
- multiple hits to destroy, and if you get killed, they don't slow down to
- their original speed, they keep travelling at the speed they were at when
- you died. If you don't get a hot bullets powerup early in this board, you
- won't see the next...
