Okay, fixed the issue with the scoring if there's a double enemy hit just as you qualify for the bonus round.

Also, thanks for your note (pardon the pun) about the missing lower pitched chime in the bonus round. I completely missed that. Also, in adding that, I realized I was awarding the 50 points immediately, but it should actually be awarded only after the enemy explodes and when the lower pitch note chimes. So thanks for that.

I've promoted the dev build to production with all the changes.

Here's the change log for the release:

Enemy speed is now 30% faster than the previous release for each level. The speed does not increase after Level 7.
The probability of an enemy firing increases with each level, starting with 33% chance in Level 1 and increasing to 66% in Level 7.
A bonus round starts exactly after scoring 100 points in any level.
The 50 points for an enemy hit in the bonus round is awarded after the enemy explodes.
A lower pitched note plays when points are awarded in the bonus round.

Thanks again for your notes on this simulation. I've credited you on the game page for your contribution :)

ah yes, that was another thing i overlooked as the original awards the points after the ship explodes, it is soo much better! I won't be rolling the score over any time soon lol. Did you have any plans on making the shark attack version? It uses the exact same mechanics as sky attack but with sharks and your diver is at the top of the screen shooting down. Thanks for updating the game in quick time, also recommended retrofab games on my social media so hopefully will send more players playing these classics. My highest ever score on the original handheld shark attack is 6145 which i haven't beaten for some time lol

I would love to add Shark Attack.

I already have all the assets to do it, including the screen artwork and packaging. Just need to find better scans of the manual.

If you know of anyone who can help with better quality scans, please let me know.

H have the game in its original box but sadly didnt come with the instruction manual, I don't know anyone but i think your best bet is to search the game on ebay and ask them if they could send you a high res image of the manual. Might be a long shot but I couldn't find much on google.
