Roger Cowley does have a point here. Whizzing through the levels on ROOKIE
level for a first pass through the game I found a marked increase in
difficulty from level 8 onwards. I've nearly finished all the levels now
but some of them are pretty difficult to say that this was ROOKIE level.
It's the type of robot you begin to face that makes it harder. Loads more
of those red homer missile guys and vulcan. The levels do get a bit easier
after a while.

However I did love the level where the KEYS are inside coloured robots you
have to shoot. They run around this tight little maze dropping mines while
some James Bondesque theme is playing. 

Zip-bang, whizz. "Where did that little bastard go?"
