Oh man I love this idea! I tried doing something similar in 3D earlier this year but I think 2D works a lot better. I used my mouse to cheat. Got to the end in 31 deaths
Lovely idea, kind of wish it was slightly faster. Best so far, 9.9!
Love the concept of this game, but I think it would benefit a huge amount if you made sure mathematically the player can always continue (or at least if they had made the right moves in the past they can continue). From what I can tell now you can easily get a 1 or 2 enemy line you have to shoot and that can drain you pretty quick. Don't think I got above 6000
