I'll keep trying,  but in the effort to see how the game plays and to update the rules,  here is my score of 110.
Played with default 4 players and all defaults on my Amiga 1200.

Well I gave this game several good tries over the last month.

I left everything on default, other than changing Player 1 name to my own.

Either my wireless joypad has a bit of lag or my reflexes are shot, the latter being the most likely  :D

I'm completely awful  :-[

I think I got 747 points, that's for the whole 7 levels.

Tough game IMHO!

Played on my A1200 PiStorm32, no keys, passwords or cheats were used.

Happy November!  Fantastic work joey!  Looks like I lost interest or was too frustrated during stage 2! 

Winner: joey with 747
2nd: NinjaKat with 110

Will try to get a new game up for November today.
