Seems fine, yeah.

If no one is planning on beating dale's RR score then saucykobold should pick a new game.

Welcome to the Fantasy Zone (set 2, unprotected; i.e. fantzone.zip)! Autofire permitted, unless someone really wants us to stick with the default rate.

Dale-81,270 Fantasy Zone1-3

I think I hate this game, but I must contribute. Very cool music though, bosses are kind of fun(because they auto scroll).
I did great so much water and milk that I threw up when I was little.

The loop bonus is pretty massive. :o Here's the formula, according to incognoscente: (gold * 10) + (lives * 1,000,000).
