Cheats, Tricks, Bugs, and Easter Eggs
Bug When the final alien is killed on the very first wave, the game says that you be rewarded x amount of points, but this bonus is never added to your score.PCheat on the second round, shoot all but one alien. Then move the ship to the far left, wait for the alien to be in a firing line, then shoot. Its bullets will now go through you as long as you keep him in that position. You can quickly dart left and right, shooting it to death, racking up points very quickly. After about three minutes of this, the alien becomes highly annoyed and will hover right below you, and do all kind of neato moves. It is quite a sight to see.
