I agree with you on the score thing, it's pretty annoying, whoever has 
the highest score can easily fill up the entire thing (by loading 
and exiting over and over again)   I play on a computer with a few other 
people, so we are sharing the same high score, we finally reached a point 
where the high scores made sense.. level 7..  to get the highest score, you 
have to beat the level and thus the game...

Right now.. I'm the only one on that computer that has beat the game, and 
I think I have everybody else too scared to try (they were all watching 
when I was beating it, tensions were pretty high, even for people just 
watching they appeared to be trying to dodge and they kept yelling "Ahh! 
Look out!" as the green balls approached me, marking me for death. :)
